I'm bored at work and want to post without having a real topic thread.

[BIG_T]

For some of us that get bored at work and want to chat with other people without containing ourselves to a specific topic and without hijacking other threads, I've started this thread.
What's anyone doin today?

[Rebel64]

Hey cool!
Sure could have used this thread today at work. I had WAY too much idle time on my hands. Oh btw, I left an hour early also...couldn't take it any longer.

[BIG_T]

I could leave now and be very happy. but, i have to stay another 2 hours.

[Dirtbmw20]

I get to leave at 3:30 today and don't have to be back till Monday. Yeeee fricking Hawwww !!!!

[BIG_T]

I have to work until tueday at noon, but then I don't have to work again until the 2nd.

[badmaners]

I would be building Motor contol panels. Just like I've been doing for 20 years. Also get bored of drilling holes and wiring stuff. Just for a party mixer I bend conduit around impossible situations. And to top it off I get to pull my wire. LOL.

[Rebel64]

Now that sounds interesting badmaners!

[Rebel64]

I get to leave at 3:30 today and don't have to be back till Monday. Yeeee fricking Hawwww !!!!

Good deal Lee! Big plans this weekend?

[Rebel64]

I have to work until tueday at noon, but then I don't have to work again until the 2nd.


Man that aint right. I'm on day #10 of a 19 day stretch. Definitely looking forward to having my first day off on the 22nd, and catching a breather until the 2nd.

[badmaners]

Used to interesting. It's all the same after a while. Rare that 2 are the same. That's why I'm always in the background here.

i guess the drywall is up already huh?

conduit is so ugly.

[98frontier]

if your bored try this http://www.hurtwood.demon.co.uk/Fun/copter.swf

[Turk]

Just like I've been doing for 20 years.

I'm pushing 20 years here at the same job.Sometimes it's so routine I swear I can do it with my eyes shut.I'm at a crossroads of sorts right now with work.If I stay another 10 years and complete a full 30 years of service I can retire from here and start collection right away.If I leave now I wont be able to collect a dime until i'm 62 or whatever the age for retirement will be by then.As of now I plan on sticking it out here unless I can manage to sell my house in this dead real estate market and take the money and leave florida altogether.But it looks like i'll have to ride out the real estate market and wait it out a few years.Wait for it to rebound if I dont want to take a beating on the selling price.My wife and I both agree that if someone offered us what we wanted for our place tomorrow we be packing as soon as the closing went through

[badmaners]

i guess the drywall is up already huh?

conduit is so ugly.

No drywall...Industrial Electrician. Material handling systems in some large warehouses etc. Our main stay is Couriers and Postal stuff. Some process control as well. Used to travel alot. I've worked many times in Texas, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Jersey Etc. Mostly stay here in the cold now.

[Rebel64]

Stuff like Allen-Bradley controls?

[badmaners]

Stuff like Allen-Bradley controls?

Yep thats one of the brands I use. Mostly everything is PLC controled. {logic controler} Same, same, same yada yada yada. I,m supposed to be building a 5 foot cabinet right now but can't get in to it. Boreing.

[BIG_T]

I wish I had more opportunity to use PLCs and control systems. It was my main emphasis in college, but since then I haven't been able to use it very much. Instead I do brakes.

[Bigdog800EFI]

Why don't you guys get to work and stop goofing off on the computer!!!!

[badmaners]

I wish I had more opportunity to use PLCs and control systems. It was my main emphasis in college, but since then I haven't been able to use it very much. Instead I do brakes.

It's funny how things turn out. I started my working life out as a Refridgeration mechanic for trucks and trailers. Was a trailer mechanic, big rig mechanic, lift truck mechanic, small engine, cars etc. Life changed when I got hurt at work and went to collage. I got picked up by a control company and here I am. Playin' with electricity LOL

[badmaners]

Why don't you guys get to work and stop goofing off on the computer!!!!

OK boss. I'm doin' it right now sir.

[BIG_T]

I get more done by goofing off then most people do all day ;)

[Rebel64]

Why don't you guys get to work and stop goofing off on the computer!!!!

LMAO! Hey I'm on my official union break at the moment, so pppppffffftttttt!!!!! :)

[Rebel64]

Ok here's a mission for you then...come down here and fix this stupid Human Interface Module on my core oven. Can't get the damn thing to index properly!

[badmaners]

Ok here's a mission for you then...come down here and fix this stupid Human Interface Module on my core oven. Can't get the damn thing to index properly!

I notice you call it a human interface. Used to be MMI. Man machine interface. I get in trouble for not useing correct terminalogy. I guess the womans movement had that changed LOL.

[Rebel64]

Yeah, next thing you know we'll be offending animals and have to go through more Diversity Training. <rolls eyes>

[Mrs.Rubberdown]

testing....

[BIG_T]

Yeah, next thing you know we'll be offending animals and have to go through more Diversity Training. <rolls eyes>


sorry, I read that last post and suddenly white rage filled my vision and I blacked out for a moment. I'm back.

[badmaners]

testing....

Hello Mrs. RD. How are you? I'm hoping you guys can come up here in the new year so we can repay you guys for your hospitality.

[Rubberdown]

LOL, Rob that was me on her account but shes standing next to me laughing because I told her you threatend to call her directly to get us up there. She says we will be up there in January :D

[badmaners]

Looking forward to it you trickster you. I found a stainless muffler for a popo that you can have and also have a couple ideas for you.

[Rebel64]

sorry, I read that last post and suddenly white rage filled my vision and I blacked out for a moment. I'm back.

Are you serious?

[BIG_T]

close to it. sorry, I hate the "animals are people too" type of people. It has been know to send me into fits of rage.

[Rebel64]

Whew, I almost thought you were offended in the opposite direction!!

Hey want to join Desi and I at Cruisn's on War Drive this evening for a few sodas?

[BIG_T]

what time?
I jsut realized that I put my contacts into the wrong eyes this morning. In over 10 years of wearing contacts on a daily basis I've NEVER done that. Very Very wierd. I switche dthem out and I can see fine now. It was driving me nuts that I couldn't see very well this morning.

[Rebel64]

Around 6ish, but I'll let you know for sure later if you're interested.
She's meeting a girlfriend there first, then I'm showing up a little later.

Hmmm....perhaps the contacts didn't help with that white fit of rage you were having. ;)

[BIG_T]

perhaps. I just sent an email to BD chewing him out in a tactful manner. We'll see how he responds.

[Rebel64]

Ok...good luck.

Can't believe you didn't have any questions about Desi's gf being there this evening!

[BIG_T]

I was kinda assuming she would be in your age group, that's why I didn't ask.

[Rebel64]

Man there you go again dissin me on my age.

[BIG_T]

when the bifocals fit...
Is she your age, or more like mine?

[Rebel64]

LOL.

Honestly I have no idea how old she is. I don't know if I've met her or not...she works with Desi and I've only been in her office a couple of times.
But do you want to come along? Just was gonna let her know.

[BIG_T]

Sounds like a plan. I'll tag along.

[Rebel64]

Cool. I'll call ya before I head over there.

[BIG_T]

Ed needs to get down here with his hot wife and hang out with us. I'll buy him a couple drinks after this week.

[Rebel64]

Yeah he sure does! I asked him earlier if he wants to come down here for Denks party on the 29th. Too bad you won't be able to make it.

[BIG_T]

yeah, that would be fun. I wonder who else might or might not be there.

[Rebel64]

A few other couples that we don't know. I didn't recognize any of the names from his official invitation letter he sent out.

Hey had a damn good time last nite, but man I wish I could've slept in. 4:30am just comes up too quick...especially when I didn't crash until after midnight. Ouch.

[BIG_T]

what kept u up so late ;)
I didn't get an invite either :( oh well.
I guess I need to get a hot girlfriend like desi to get invited to steve's parties.

[Rebel64]

Oh the usual ;) Seems like sleep is a rare occurance with me lately, especially with working all the time. And yes, here I am at work once again. Day # 14 here...ugh.
But with the snow we got yesterday, 3 people didn't show up here as planned, so I might not be here for too long. Told Desi to stick around and keep the bed warm as I might be back soon.

Steve knew you were going to be out of town bud...he did ask about you a couple weeks ago when he first mentioned the party.

[Bigdog800EFI]

You guys still at work?????

[BIG_T]

it's ok dude, I don't have a hissy fit if someone doesn't want to play with me. I've grown out of that phase. Good that u might get to go home early, sucks that u don't get paid if you do.
Last night was slow at stone country, the weather kept a lot of people away, which sucked since it was their big christmas party. all the cute girls came with guys, unfortunately.

[Rebel64]

I was wondering if you ventured over there last nite...too bad it was so slow and there was no single women.

I left work after being there for an hour since there was absolutely nothing to do. The good thing about it though was that I got paid for 4 hours...at double time.
Came home, woke Desi up (woohooo), and then slept for a couple more hours. Not a bad day at all so far!! :) We're going shopping sometime this afternoon, and I think I'll take her up to Gander Mntn to get her set up with some good cold weather gear.

[BIG_T]

Hey reb, do you plan to put your plow on anytime soon, or not?

[Turk]

You guys still at work?????


I gonna take a wild guess that they are.I think this thread moves a lot faster during working hours.


:blah:

[BIG_T]

yeah. hence the "bored AT WORK" jk

[Rebel64]

Well I was thinking about hooking it up this afternoon, but yesterday I realized I misplaced the bolts for the plate. Who knows where they ended up in that mess of a shop I have.
Why do you ask?

[Rebel64]

I gonna take a wild guess that they are.I think this thread moves a lot faster during working hours.


:blah:

LOL yeah here once again...sigh. I'm sooooo friggin ready for vacation!!!

[Turk]

Yeah I know my post count goes up a lot faster during my work day.

[Rebel64]

What would we do without the net at work? LOL

[Turk]

I dunno what i'd do because it sure helps the slow moments here go by faster.

[Rebel64]

For sure for sure! But I don't have all that much to do, so I'm spreading the work out as much as I can to make it last.

[BIG_T]

I'm in the same boat, trying to look busy.

[Turk]

I'll just say "ditto" to the above posts.

[Rebel64]

:)

My butt is tired...I'm gonna jump on the forktruck and help out the guys here for a while.

[BIG_T]

wish I could use the fork truck. I always thought that was fun. I even went through the forklift safety training at my previous work place.
I always liked running machinery.

[Turk]

When I need to get out of the office I take a cruise around campus on the golf cart.It's extra quite here today with exams over and the campus is going into shut-down mode for the x-mas break.

[BIG_T]

At my place you can't carry vacation past thr first of theyear, so people that haven't used all their vacation use it all this week. so, there are a bunch of people gone.

[Rebel64]

That would be a fun way to kill some time.

[Rebel64]

wish I could use the fork truck. I always thought that was fun. I even went through the forklift safety training at my previous work place.
I always liked running machinery.

I just have baby trucks here. 3K, 5K, & a 15K.
Just did a quick google on what I used to run in the UK, the Klaus sideloader. Looks like the company is now owned by Steelbro. Still looks the same though: http://www.steelbro-scandinavia.nu/klause.htm
Mine was hooked up to a brand new Mercedes 2636 tractor...sweet ride for sure.

[BIG_T]

Cool. I build bigger stuff still

[Turk]

At my place you can't carry vacation past thr first of theyear

We are allowed to have up to 40 days of vacation maximum accumulated.Anything over 40 days and we have to use the extra days by the end of each year or loose anything over 40 days.I'm always over and have to take the extra days by years end but not this year,looks like I took enough vacation time off this year to balance out.


Hey BigT I have a question for you.Have you ever posted on the "Ween Forum" before?? Just curious if your the same BigT that used to post on that forum.

[BIG_T]

Ween Forum? Never heard of it.

[Turk]

Ween Forum? Never heard of it.


It's a forum for a band called "ween" I was just wondering is all,didnt think it was the same person.most folks have never heard of the band.

[Rebel64]

Tim is just being coy....he's really the lead singer. ;)

[BIG_T]

darn it you discovered my secret.

[shady357]

Another Day...another Dolla..

(after Taxes, Of Course...)

[badmaners]

I hear ya with the tax thing. I'm still sulking from last payday. Vacation pay and regular pay. Wow it's killin' me on taxes

[Dirtbmw20]

Yea, it got me too on last payday. I got my regular pay, my vacation pay, my sick pay, AND my BIG monthly commission ALL in one dam check, there was OVER $1,500 bucks just in taxes taken out.

[Rebel64]

Same here with mine. What was taken out, something like 27%?

[BIG_T]

Dang I hate some people. Lying about you then making sure you can't defend yourself. grr.

Ok, back to the day. Where's anyone goin for christmas?

[Rebel64]

?? What's the prob Tim?

Not goin anywhere except to my parents house this Friday for a small gathering, and then Desi and I will be at my house Christmas morning.


And on the subject of this topic, I'm sure not bored at work today...spent the last 2 hours on a skid steer. Nice change of pace for sure.

[BIG_T]

That would be nice.

[Rebel64]

It is, so time to jump back in it and play in the hot sand some more. :)

[Turk]

One more day of work left for me until January.The college goes into close-down mode for the x-mas and new years break.It's all paid time off for me,one of the great benefits that comes with working for the state.I'm so happy because that means lots of time for riding and just doing whatever.

[BIG_T]

I'm going to be goin up to northern minnesota for christmas. I leave around noon today and I'm off for two full weeks. I can't wait til then, only another 3 hours. Unfortunately I'm not going to be around my bike all holiday, so I won't be ridign much.

[Turk]

Hope you have safe holiday travels.


Will you have access to a computer while on vacation or will ya just take a little forum break?? I hear you on being away from the bike for 2 weeks,withdrawal can and does occur.

[BIG_T]

I'll still be on the computer. Their internet isn't as fast, but it still does kinda work.

[Turk]

Their internet isn't as fast, but it still does kinda work.


Is it the ole classic dial up connection??

[BIG_T]

no, they have DSL, but it costs like 40 bucks for 128K. As opposed to my 40 bucks for 10M

[Rebel64]

Hope your trip is a safe one Tim! I'll give you a shout this afternoon while you're on the road.

[BIG_T]

well, I won't really be on the road til tomorrow. Gonna head out in the morning, then get up to the cities (MSP) and do some christmas shopping, then go the rest of the way on thursday.

[Rebel64]

Oh ok...I thought you were leaving this afternoon.

[BIG_T]

Nope, tomorrow morning I'll be doing like the shepard:
Getting the Flock Out of Here

[Rebel64]

Wish I could...except I want to head south where all the fun is.

[harmonsbrute]

thats right reb all the fun down here south of interstate 57 lol

[Rebel64]

LOL well that would be a start, but I was thinking about our friends in the coastal states.

[harmonsbrute]

ya but i like my snow lol

[badmaners]

The one I was working on, just a baby one going to Sault St Marie Ontario
Soory just playing with an old camera here.

[Rebel64]

Yup, looks just like what I have everywhere at work.

[badmaners]

Ya I'm sure alot of people do. My next one up is a walk in 3 door. Just starting it now...It's a lonely world in controls LOL.

[Rebel64]

Whew, big project. Don't get lost in there!

[BIG_T]

Looks similar to one of my college projects. Well, a small part of the project.
I love programming the things too. I'm pretty good in P-BASIC, C, C++, and Ladder Logic. What do you use the most?

[badmaners]

Ladder Logic is number one for sure. C is a machine language. We've got a guy that's half my age and quick as a whip doing most of the programming. I also work with an electrical engineer. I work in a 30 x 30 ft room by myself for the last 9 years. Boring LOL, but it's a living.

[Rebel64]

Ok, one more friggin day at work and then it's vacation time until 2 Jan. I'm ready!!
So who wants to ride with me next week? I'd like to get in one more session before the teardown.
Yeah I know that was a silly question since Tim is up north, and there's nobody else here that lives close to me. :(

[BIG_T]

GRRRRR
So, I got home, and was excited about having my truck back.
Except my dad decided to lock the keys inside of it, though he claims that it wasn't him.
Of course, I don't have an extra set with me
so now I'm home, but still don't have my truck.
You have no idea how pissed off I am right now.

[Rebel64]

Oops I hope I didn't laugh too loud here.
Dude you have the worst luck with trucks lately.
Do you have a rear slider in your truck?

[BIG_T]

nope

[Rebel64]

Well what the heck are you gonna do?

[choPppps]

:lock1::lock1::lock1::lock1::lock1::lock1:

[Rebel64]

Oh man, those cracked me up!

[choPppps]

I couldn't resist

[Rebel64]

I'm sure Tim won't find it as funny as we did!

[choPppps]

Someone else's pain is always funny though. Don't worry, I am sure that something will happen to us that will be just as funny to someone!!!!

[choPppps]

Tim, did you check the passenger door???

[Rebel64]

Someone else's pain is always funny though. Don't worry, I am sure that something will happen to us that will be just as funny to someone!!!!

Oh yeah, I'm sure he'll be paying me back somehow one of these days. Actually he'll probably come up with something to trip me up next month when we start the rad relocate/snork project on my bike.

[BIG_T]

I got it unlocked, except unlocking it without the key somehow tripped the security system on it, so it won't start. I called the GM dealer and they told me something that "might" work, but if it doesn't I'll have to tow it in (about 30 miles) then they'll have to reset it, and that's just if it didn't blow the security module, which they say it sometimes does, and that would cost about 300 bucks.
So far this trip is gonna cost me about 500 bucks on fuel and hotel, and that doesn't count my dad's damage to my truck by locking the keys in it.
you seriously have no idea how pissed I am right now. I'm serious mark, you've never seen me anywhere this pissed, not even during the mudgrippers debacle of 2007.

[Turk]

We all get to that "Beyond pissed zone" I know what you mean,sometimes anything not bolted down is in danger of becoming a "flying weapon".I go there too...sometimes I have talk "logical thinking" back in to my head and I cant always convince myself to come off the pissed off trip.

[BIG_T]

yeah, throughout all of my truck issues, my brother got a new tractor, my dad got a new trailer,
I had to drive my dad's crappy farm truck for three weeks, then drive it another 800 miles, lost two days of my vacation for driving, and about 300 extra bucks in fuel.

[B Man]

i didn't get locked out of my truck today

[BIG_T]

you make it sound like that's an oddity.

[BIG_T]

and yes mark, one of those days when we're working on your bike something may just go awry.
Either that, or i'll just laugh every time you burn, cut, scrape, or sever something.

[Rebel64]

LMAO!

Ok, just throw me a rag and a roll of tape and I'll be all good.

WOW! Might be time for you to start drinkin buddy.
Seriously, I'm really sorry your trip isn't turning out so well...that really blows.

[harmonsbrute]

ya big t.. u trip looks like it sucks

[choPppps]

Sorry about your luck dude... hopefully those dancin' locks at least made you chuckle.

[BIG_T]

finally got my truck working today. I drove up to see a few friends in Roseau, picked up some other supplies, so my week is going much better now.

[Rebel64]

:) It was good to hear from you today brudda. Glad things are perkin up with ya.

[BIG_T]

watch any good movies recently?

[Rebel64]

Yeah we've watched quite a few of them from your collection.
Timeline was very good...worth watching again.

[BIG_T]

If you think the movie's good, you should check out the book, it is awesome. The move left out about 3/4 of the book.
Micheal Crichton is one of my favorite authors.

[BIG_T]

Well, I was driving home today and am now stuck in Eau Claire Wisconsin because my transmission went out on my truck.

[Rebel64]

Holy crap...again??? Was your new one still under warranty?

[Camo500EFI]

If it wasn't for bad luck he wouldn't have any.

[harmonsbrute]

u got some bad luck. big_t

[Rebel64]

No doubt about that. Poor guy.

[harmonsbrute]

wat brand of truck he drive

[BIG_T]

01 silverado. It's still under warranty from when I had it rebuilt 4 months ago.
I had to get it towed back to St. Paul, MN where the nearest AAMCO shop was, an they will rebuild it again. I had to rent a car, then drove back here to illinois, and then I will go up to the cities this coming weekend to pick my truck back up.

[harmonsbrute]

i guess u didnt hear that chevy had a recall... to come back and get ur heated tall gate so when ur pushin it to the shop in the winter time.

[BIG_T]

that's a good one.

[harmonsbrute]

thanks then in the summer they instal a ac unit in the tail gate lol

[BIG_T]

see, you shoulda just stopped at the first one, now it looks like you're trying too hard :D

[harmonsbrute]

lol im done...

[BIG_T]

On the drive back down here in the rental car there was a car in the ditch, o I slowed down to avoid the people on the shoulder of the road. As I was doing that my rear wheels got caught in a rut in the snow, started spinning me around. I made 4 complete revolutions at 50 mph before I got i back under control on the shoulder of the road, stopped in the same direction I was headed. I hit the gas and was back on my way before the cars behind me caught up. Since nothing bad happened, it was kinda fun.

[harmonsbrute]

u got bad luck

[BIG_T]

Actually, I was kinda lucky that I didn't end up going in the ditch.

[harmonsbrute]

ya....

[badmaners]

Hey Big T, did it smell foul in the car after that? LOL

[BIG_T]

nope, I'm so good that mine doesn't stink...

[BIG_T]

My ndag computer is so slow I'm getting bored.

[Rebel64]

Should've come to work at Big Yellow...we have faster computers.

[Camo500EFI]

Whats up boys? Hey T did you get my response yesterday?

[harmonsbrute]

mark.. stop tell me.. im stuck with dail up for a few more weeks..

[BIG_T]

Ed, I think I did. I'm not sure that I'm goign up that way this weekend though. The shop might not have my truck done in time, so I'd end up going up next weekend instead.

[Camo500EFI]

Well that sucks. I had offered to put you up tonight if you wanted instead of making the drive all in one shot. It's a standing offer though just let me know.

[BIG_T]

thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
The worst thing about not having my truck for another week is I have to pay for the rental car for another week.

[Rebel64]

Hey Tim, Desi loves the shirt you got her and says thanks.

[Camo500EFI]

Hey mark I haven't forgot about your hose it's just been crazy busy around here.

[BIG_T]

cool. It's always nice to hear that I have good taste.

[Rebel64]

Hey mark I haven't forgot about your hose it's just been crazy busy around here.

Man that just sounded WRONG!!!

[Rebel64]

cool. It's always nice to hear that I have good taste.

Now bring on the warm weather so she can pose in it! ;)

[Camo500EFI]

Man that just sounded WRONG!!!

Wrong that we are busy in January?? It's our busiest month of the year believe it or not. This is our top month for boat sales and it's all done within a five day period.

[Camo500EFI]

Man that just sounded WRONG!!!


Oh I got it now!! :rofl: I'm a little slow today.

[Rebel64]

Lmfao!!

[BIG_T]

Hey mark I haven't forgot about your hose it's just been crazy busy around here.

Dude, I can't believe you're thinking about Mark's hose, especially with as hot of a wife as you have. I don't think about Mark's hose and I don't even have a girlfriend.

[Camo500EFI]

Well when you have the same meal night after night for 4 years it's nice to look at another menu. I'm such a funny guy!

[BIG_T]

Why would you need to look at another menu when you already have something that's super tasty?
And why would you look at a menu of something so disgusting anyway?

[Camo500EFI]

Oh T your to kind!! No wonder my wife likes you.

[Rebel64]

you guys are killin me

[Camo500EFI]

I don't feel like getting anything done today!

[Rebel64]

[Camo500EFI]

I should be finishing putting the rest of the inventory on the website but I don't have the energy for key stroking all of the pontoon options and specs for 23 pontoons more than whats on the site already. I did 60 Crownlines yesterday.

[Rebel64]

What brand of 'toon do you sell there?
I used to have a Crest Savannah...25' I think it was.

[choPppps]

Well when you have the same meal night after night for 4 years it's nice to look at another menu. I'm such a funny guy!

You just need to cook it differently once in a while that's all!!

[Rebel64]

There ya go!

[BIG_T]

Then you should just quit smoking. Or do what I did and never start.

[Camo500EFI]

South Bay. Remember when I showed you the all black one with the 350cu 300hp and the loud exhaust. I'll try to post a picture again for you.

[Camo500EFI]

Thats what I keep tellin her.

[Camo500EFI]

Here you go Mark hope this works.

[Rebel64]

Oh yeah, I do remember that now. Sweet ride for sure.

[Rebel64]

Then you should just quit smoking. Or do what I did and never start.

Yeah yeah yeah...I know I should quit. The temps here over the last few days have sure curbed my desire to venture outside though.

[Camo500EFI]

You know mark smoking doesn't make you look cool!

[BIG_T]

You know anyone that's willing to stand outside for 5 minutes in 0 degree weather must be a smoker. Or come from northern Minnesota.

[Rebel64]

You know mark smoking doesn't make you look cool!

Well damn!

[Rebel64]

You know anyone that's willing to stand outside for 5 minutes in 0 degree weather must be a smoker. Or come from northern Minnesota.

You should see all the people downtown on my way home from work huddling outside...I'd say 75% of them are women.

[Camo500EFI]

Well damn!


Just haven fun with ya:kev:

[Rebel64]

Paybacks for the hose comments, eh? ;)

[Dirtbmw20]

You know mark smoking doesn't make you look cool!

Depends on what ya smoking :dance: ....................................... :whistle:

[Rebel64]

LOL....where's Bob? ;)

[Camo500EFI]

LOL....where's Bob? ;)

You beat me to it!:rofl:

[Rebel64]

Hahaha...figured you'd remember that convo!

[Dirtbmw20]

Hahahahahah, Bob is at my house waiting on me.

[Rebel64]

Not any longer...I already paid him a visit. You gotta find a better place for your spare key.

[BIG_T]

I still can't believe some people's stupidity. I've never met bob. Or any of his friends.

[Camo500EFI]

You guys have fun with that. I think I've got a meeting scheduled with the Captain this evening.

[BIG_T]

for 25 years of my life I never understood why people get drunk. Once I moved to Illinois I figured it out very quickly. I now completely understand.

[Dirtbmw20]

Not any longer...I already paid him a visit. You gotta find a better place for your spare key.

:Cry:

[Rebel64]

Believe it or not, I've been without since that ride at Ruffcorns.
Just had a J-bomb and having a few beers tonite. Not many though since I'm working all weekend.

[Rebel64]

:Cry:

LMAO...no worries, I would've left you some. :)

[Camo500EFI]

Believe it or not, I've been without since that ride at Ruffcorns.

I have to work tomorrow and a good portion of it is training our part timers for the show. Nothing better than trainning with a hangover!!

[Rebel64]

Well that should be fun!
I'll have a few new guys in my dept tomorrow helping out with a new engine we're casting, but I won't be hungover. Today was my day for draggin azz since we stayed up way too late last nite. Damn it sucks to get old...can't do it everyday like we used to!

[Camo500EFI]

Speak for yourself... I got he boat show coming up and thats 5 nights of serious boozen and long days on the show floor. I can still hang, I do better with less sleep.

[BIG_T]

Maybe I should join you Ed.

[Rebel64]

Ed, just another reason you should come down to the Nats with us!

[Camo500EFI]

I would probably stay there if I went.

[Rebel64]

Your wife prolly wouldn't like that too much.
Or then again, maybe she would. ;)

[Camo500EFI]

She wouldn't but her boyfriend would.

[Rebel64]

doh!!

[Rebel64]

So Ed, how did the Captain treat you last nite?

[Camo500EFI]

I didn't get a chance to talk with him. Maybe tonight. Maybe I'll stop by the bar on my way home from work and get an early start.

[Rebel64]

Ok have one for Tim while you're there!

[Camo500EFI]

Oh I did and then some.

[BIG_T]

man I overslept this morning. Had a hard time getting up before 10 after Mark's girlfriend kept me up so late last night.

[Camo500EFI]

man I overslept this morning. Had a hard time getting up before 10 after Mark's girlfriend kept me up so late last night.

Wow mark I want to help Tim get a little but your a true friend and believe in whats mine is yours....... I think I want to come down and hang with you a bit more.:lock1:......... This will have to do since I don't see my dancin nanner!

[Rebel64]

LMFAO!!!

Oh, one more year and she'll be legal Tim...just be careful until then. hahaha

[Camo500EFI]

You a bad boy Mark!!

[Rebel64]

Not ME!!! He's the one that stuck around over at their place after I went home to get some sleep before work today!!

[Camo500EFI]

Well thats our T........ You gotta love him.

Man I wish I would have gone riding today. My backyard is like a swamp and there was a ton of water out on my riding property last week. It has got to be even worse today and I'll bet the mud is like soup!! I want to get these new tires muddy so bad!!!!!!!!

[harmonsbrute]

lol i went out riding today

[Camo500EFI]

I don't even have time tomorrow and I'm off.

[BIG_T]

Well, to be honest both mark's girlfriend and her daughter kept me up late. though, his girlfriend kept trying to get me drunk.

[Rebel64]

You never did have that redbull & vodka?

[BIG_T]

no, I didn't. I didn't want to lose my inhibitions and let your girlfriend take advantage of me ;)

[Camo500EFI]

Oh my!!! I missed a good party didn't I.

[Rebel64]

That's too friggin funny!! Don't forget she's old enough to be your mom! ;)

[Camo500EFI]

But thats when it's more fun Mark.:jaw:

[BIG_T]

maybe she's interested in someone younger with mroe energy and stamina?

[Rebel64]

Quality over quantity buddy!

[BIG_T]

Maybe, but it doesn't matter how good a steak is, if the chef can't provide enough of it you still start craving a hamburger. :D

[Rebel64]

LOL! You're such a nut.

[BIG_T]

how's work going today?

[Rebel64]

It's crazy. Dealing with process instructions on the new EMD block, helping out the newer guys, and still trying to get info added to Infinity.
2 hours to go until beer:30 though.

How's things at your place?

[BIG_T]

eh.
i was thinking of driving up tonight and getting my truck then coming back, but it's still not done. What takes mroe than a week to fix a transmission for? I'd realy like to get it before saturday, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to.

[Rebel64]

Wow that sucks. What are they telling you?

[BIG_T]

it's just not done. that's about all they're telling me.

[Camo500EFI]

There still not done with your trans????? Maybe thats why it only lasted four months since the last time they touched it.

[BIG_T]

yeah, i'm thinking they might be doing a better job this time.

[Camo500EFI]

Or atleast you would like to hope so.

[BIG_T]

yeah, that's more like it.

Hey who put that tree there??? ;)

[BIG_T]

yeah, gotta watch that. I once tried pushing a golf cart with a RZR, I ended up climbing half over the golf cart before I could move my foot to the brake.

[Rebel64]

LOL I can just see you doing that!

[BIG_T]

yeah, it was one of those "oops"
not my greatest one by any means, but still.

[Rebel64]

Those happen.

Hey did it get windy at your place last nite? I heard a tornado touched down outside of Mackinaw and took down a barn.

[BIG_T]

it was rainy and a bit windy, that's all I know.
Hey ed, what did you send me? I'm not opening it here at work.

[Rebel64]

Don't open it...I fwd'd it to my home email.

I didn't notice anything on my side of the river except for a whole lot o' lightning and thunder.

[Camo500EFI]

What??? Are you two scared to open emails at work?? Chickens..

[Rebel64]

Certain kinds, yes! Man I'd be hating life if I got the net taken away from me here.
