    Was in Lowes this afternoon ...

    ... and found a manager's special.

    Kobalt 20 piece, 1/4" drive socket set for $9.98.

    Ratchet, 3" extension and SAE sockets 5/32" to 1/2" and Metric from 4mm to 12mm.

    Perfect for the race trailer.

    What's that?

    After 27 years, I have acrued 5 weeks of vacation time. I get 2 additional days which are considered "bonus time off". If the plant performs well, we get an additional 20 hours and if we perform well in outages, we get another 20 hours. And this year we had 2 outages.

    That doesn't include comp time ...

    So that's 280 hours time off. Gotta burn it or lose it. Couple that with a Four 10s schedule ... it's a lot of time to take off.

    For 09, I have each Thrusday and Monday of a race weekend scheduled as time off. And I still have almost 2 weeks of time remaining unscheduled.

    SWEET!!
    I don't think many of us understand that this forum would not be operating w/o Mitch's help at the plant. Every time I flick on that light-switch I think of Mitch and all that he does for us!
