Good A.M.
Supposed to hit 20 celsius today...warmest day of the year.

 

Sounds like a nice day!

 

Hi Lou...Bye Lou.
Say Hi to your gang for me.

 

Mornin Skidder and any one else in the room

 

Will do Mike!

 

Mornin Mr. Blue hat!

 

Sounds good, I'm a little behind on the bike, the fluids are done,it still needs a good once over with the Allen wrenches and a shake down run should have that done tonight. Found a loose oil line and had to change the clamp. Not complaining though it was a factory clamp the bike is 18 years old. Morning all.

 

Mornin Mark.

 

Bright and sunny this morning, dammit. Weather guessers say 50% chance of rain Saturday, sure hope they're right this time. Hope it's more than a sprinkle, too. Seldom rains hard here.


Airplanes have a lot of tight places. Some stuff at the top of a 727 tail that can only be reached from inside, gotta climb up from a small hole at the bottom. Peeps in charge always seemed to like putting the big guys in holes, and make the short folks stand on ladders. Management...

Never been down a manhole, but ridden bikes through culverts. One was 3/10th mile, and winding, sure was dark in there. Barely room for the bike, had to keep my head down. Ground a big flat spot on the helmet when I hit some mud. Got it up to 30mph in there, sensation of speed was insane. Wonder if the bike and my skeleton would ever have been found if I'd busted my neck in there...

Sounds like he's got some good sense. Too many young folks today want to skip starting at the bottom, and want a fun job. Some manage that, but there ain't enough jobs at places like Google for everybody, and most of em are gonna have to do it the hard way. Fun job would be nice, I never had one, but paying the bills at the end of the month has to come first if you're gonna make it.

Lotta peeps don't have that much in 28 1/2 years. Either stupid, or get walloped with some kind of disaster. I went from paying cash for a new truck to less than 5 grand cash and nearly losing a house in less than 2 years, had to start all over at 39. Got laid off, and then a month later hurt so I couldn't work for over 6 months. Daughter was less than a year old. Think I've been tired ever since... stress, pain, and all the effort I could manage to survive for a while. Saving money at an early age can really pay off.

 

Mornin Wally. I sunk all my extra cash in paying off my little house. Figurd having a house payed off was better than putting $$$ in a retirement accout. Now we only owe 38k on a 200k house.
