Hi Space; I like your artwork. For that you get an "A" for sure. I would like to use that foe my avatar if you wouldn't mind. I also have no clue on how to set that up. Your grammar and spelling are not that bad. You still get a passing grade. LOL. I did excel in grammar in school so for me it comes easy. Most of my errors are blackberry related.

As far as being busy, it all depends on who you ask. For me my busiest times seem to come when our hotel occupancy is between 60 and 90 percent. Below 60 they cut staff and everybody including management get lazy and they only make work orders on serious stuff that is broken. Above 90 percent and everybody is too busy dealing with guest satisfaction that they are too busy to call in work for me unless something is really broke. Between 60 and 90 it is just busy enough that things that are broken are an irritant and they have the time to make out work orders. When it is slow I am glad to have my smart phones. It makes the night go faster. I also get to surf MCF a lot and keep in touch with my friends on here. Tuesday night I was busy because the dish machine crashed in the kitchen. It is one of the three most critical pieces of equipment in a commercial kitchen. Can't operate without clean dishes. The other two are the walk in freezer and walk in cooler. Everything else they can work without. When those three go down the management come out of the woodwork and complicate everything. Right now the resort is close to 100 percent and will be until the second week of January so things for me are a bit slow.

But I fell in love with AZ right then... After I retired from G.M. Thats when we started to spend the winters out there in the Motorhome. Best time to be out there is from Oct till May. But car shows are crazy out there. Greg would go nuts. I seen a guy and a couple of his friends bring out 6 cars he owns. These cars are one of one , two of one. Cars you never ever see at shows! You do see out there. WOW! I make it a point to get to them for a few hrs.
Rick I am sure you are right, I would go nuts in Arizona. I also want to get a motor home and vacation out that way. Here in Florida we have lots of car shows too. I look forward to getting off second shift so I can start seeing them again. I bet there must be a ton of rust free project cars out that way looking for some one to care for. I am currently working on a deal for a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura or Sprint two door hardtop with a 289 under the hood. It had a 260 from the factory. It is almost rust free. It needs paint and interior. I think it is too good to pass up. I've never had a Falcon before and it might be close enough to a Mustang to make Susan happy.

woohoo! found somthing!!!! wrenches will be warm and i will be cold but my hands should stay fairly warm
Justin I feel for ya man. I remember those days being bundled up in long johns, and insulated skidoo suit hats gloves and heavy socks to go out and work on cars when I worked in the salvage yard. It was hard to move and when the temps were below 15 degrees there was no way of staying warm. Moved around like a robot. It sucked. I hope you get what you need done, done quickly.

I have a nice pair of carhartt type coveralls that I wear for winter car work too. I was wearing them last week fixing my sons car. I think they shrunk a bit since last year tho or maybe I grew a bit.lol I do hate how they ride up when getting in and out from under the car.
