What's your holiday plans?

[Tn. Truckers Wife]

Oh man......now THIS is gonna be good!

Alright, TTW, this is between you and me. Are ya ready? Alright, here goes:

I will pay you TOP DOLLAR if you videotape yourself installing the bathtub! The good thing about this deal? You won't even have to upload the video to YouTube or any other video sharing site for that matter. Just submit the video of the installation to my mailing address.

Okay, now it's time for the REAL business. I'll pay you $n,nnn for the vid. Do we have a deal?

*secretly makes plans to submit the tape to America's Funniest Home Videos*

My labor day weekend will be spent near Pittsburgh.

So just what are your saying?...hahaha....I'll keep that in mind...lol...

 

[Mike]

Either go hide from the heat this weekend, or brave it and put the pool up. Haven't decided yet.

 

[Gased]

Now that sounds like a real job. I'll be interested to read about your adventures!

Well, when I start I will also start a Gased's 20 thread. They are willing to train me so there will be some adventures.

Tuesday, put in notice at work. I found a job hauling equipment. Over-sized, lowboys, landolls. A buddy of mine got me in. I get my very own Mack. I get overtime after 40. Start at 0700 everyday and weekends off. Yep. No more slip seating straight box dry van boo-hoo this sucks. I'm pumped.

Good times! Congratulations!

2) install 3 window air/conditioners

3) scrape and paint ceilings that are peeling

4) laundry

5) work the garden

6) grocery shopping

7) sleeping

8) making biscuits and gravy for breakfast

9) making fresh waffles for the week ahead.

10) sleeping


so all in all, my usual stuff, there ain't no more holidays, just a day or two extra to do more crap around the house.

i'm so glad to go back to work, where i work less..!!!

well when i got home today at 4AM, i did not go off to bed. my "normal" saturday routine is to stay awake to get things done, THEN sleep.

i was only bale to do #'s:

1,

2 (but forgot 1 a/c, so that is for sunday), actually, in my first posting, i said "install 3 window a/c's". i had to install a total of 7 today, but only got 6 done, and completely forgot the 7th..

4,

5,

9,

then 10.

funny how the list gets harder as i get older.

and yes, as TN Truckers wife says.....you can't soak old tired bones in a shower...!!!

today, for me, this is ever so true.(my aching back thanks me for the tub)

 

[notarps4me]

and you can't ice beer down in the shower.

 

[Road Dust]

and you can't ice beer down in the shower.

No, but you sure can drink it in the shower, and who says you have to ice it down?

 

[Gased]

Good times! Congratulations!

Hmm....

That's a huge maybe. I'm waiting on a replacement truck to be sent to my location while the one that I'm in is going to be towed away.

And you can add this strange event to my ever-growing list of strange experiences: having the truck's transmission go out on you one-half mile away from the receiver.

I mean, no one else in this industry can say that their transmission suddenly malfunctioned on them when they were less than one minute away from their receiver! Ugh, über retardation at it's best.....

That sounds dangerous...hahaha..

I'm considering the source....

Push?

 

[GAnthony]

well i am still waiting for my bro-in-law to get back home, so we can install the last a/c.

but i did do all my grocery shopping, and i also made the time to go to find a place that racer is going to be at this week.

he is coming to my state, and low and behold, he is making a delivery i actually went to, to seek employment some time ago.

little did i know, he has an o/d type of load..:eek2:

but maybe, the directions i provided can still be of some help.

Racer, let me know where you are going after the delivery, if i can i will help you there as well. but get back to me wednesday and no later than 12 PM thursday

Where is that one truckstop that The Ocean State has?

 

[Rigjockey]

Where is that one truckstop that The Ocean State has?

It won't matter, All four parking spots will be taken.lol

 

[GAnthony]

Where is that one truckstop that The Ocean State has?

exit 5 B (rte 102) off I-95

follow the road, take a left.

parking for free if fueling, or 4 hour limit.

food is actually ok, but "self serve", meaning you go to the counter, order it, pay for it, they call your name, you eat. (might be a bit high, fish and chips are good so are the stuffed cheese shells).

i do not believe they have raviolis though..lol

parking indeed can be hard, but get there by 4 PM..???

actually, they have 5 now..>!!!

Thanks.

Looked it up. Bad reviews for the food. One reviewer says the C-store employee tried to earn extra pay by shortchanging them.

Aerial imaging shows what looks like ample parking but dirt lot.
