Maybe some day I will check it out.

Sounds like fun. I have never been to the big show.

I'm really just going to spend some time with him. We don't see each other a lot. I'm not really in the market for anything. I do need a single point sling.

 

[Birds Away]

It's just a long drive down. I read so much bad about it, the area, etc.

I enjoy going. The Wizard and I went to the last one but that was the first in a few years.

Gotta enjoy each other while you can.

He just retired at the ripe old age of 60 after 44 years with the same company.

I have about 2 days worth of work to do today, so I will have to kick some ass.

I have months worth of stuff to do, but I have been sick since September and every time I start turning around, one of our drivers will do something stupid that I have to clean up in inclement conditions. By all rights I should have been well at least four times by now and instead am in the middle of a hard downturn in the process.

 

[Birds Away]

Sorry to hear that, Dave. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

That's a long time. I have been here 26 years.

Hope nothing serious.

Thanks. It seems to be pretty run of the mill aside from hanging on this long and getting worse than it could be at times. Not much voice right now, and not much endurance at doing anything too closely resembling work. I was on the mend before Thanksgiving (second weekend before if I remember correctly) and had to use a trailer that I had given the driver a ball of rope to put a couple of pieces on the opening side of the tarp over the trailer. In order to make any difference, the ropes have to go in the middle of the tarp to keep a strong wind from getting under it, and I had to use this trailer on a day that was cold, raining, and extremely rainy. He had put one rope at the extreme front and another at the extreme rear, and I found myself on the road with tarp straps snapping and the tarp stood up like a sail. I got it fixed well enough, but not before getting drenched in ice cold rain and my recovery gone right down the john. Wash, rinse, and repeat a few more times, and here I am.

I will remain on the chunky size if that is the cure...

 

[MrsGungho]

Dave have you been to the doctor?

 

[MrsGungho]

how's everyone else this morning?

 

[IndyDave1776]

Dave have you been to the doctor?

No, I haven't. I don't have much faith in them, and besides that, it isn't that I can't get well, it is that every time I am on the mend one of those idiots does something stupid creating conditions that reverse the improvement. It works much the same way that the fire department can't prevent recurring fires when the arsonist keeps coming back.

well, I'll try to not worry. But I will.

Good here, how's about you?
