    Don't get me wrong, I love hamburgers and hot dogs fresh off the grill, however, the steak my wife barbequed me a few days ago was unreal.

    I could also add that the ELD or HOS is making things more difficult. For instance, there could be a day in the next week when I'll have to wait until the very midnight to get the recap and then ride in the wee hours to the destination. I think they should rid of 70 hours. I don't believe that there is some sort of a weekly biological clock determining fatigue. I mean, I can get that the 14 hour shift is to be followed by at least 8 hours sleeper or 10 hours off duty but the 70 hours per 8 days limit must be some sort of Labor Union invention to protect labor force from exploitation. It does not make much sense, especially, when the reset is to take place at that Petro , in Carlise, Pa - very counterproductive to what is supposed to be a regaining of vital strengths.

    In-laws for a couple of months, and then daycare when they re-opened.

    One of my daughters has been hanging out at our house in the afternoons this summer. She's the one with the adorable 3 year old twin girls.

    Anywho, it's hilarious to watch them each take a sock off of grandpa's feet when he gets home and settled on the leather recliner. They race for the "prize" of who can pull it off the fastest LOL

    I have them trained well. At least my feet don't stink!

    Good idea, maybe I should start a "How much should I charge to work at home?" thread.

    Plus, I could set up a "What should I wear when working from home?" Poll.

    1. Pajamas
    2. Loin cloth
    3. Thong
    4. Nothing
