And I thought you were leading to the behaviour of some of the E.O.posters.

So for those that stayed out, was it worth it or did you spend the time in vain?

We didn't stay out but noticed this was the 1st year that our carrier did not request holiday commitments from the drivers

So today My two daughters and their husbands went for our annual Skeet shooting, My son was out on a remodeling job and was unable to join us. Anymore I think I go along to primarily insure that the event is performed in a safe and orderly manner.
So who do you think came out on top for the first time, finally dethroning the old man, Daughters? Son-in-laws?

Jim, did you have skeet for Thanksgiving dinner? You've got a great thread going here! And may I add BAN THE VAN! Thanks, I had to get that off my chest.

Well he came against a raccoon in the wall he was working on, with only a hammer, and a nail gun.

jaminjim · Nov 29, 2008

No Moot, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn. Ban The Van?? I think I have heard a rabble rouser say that one time.

Moot · Nov 29, 2008

Looks like coon stew for lunch and a new winter hat.

During the day my son works at a golf course, Raccoons will tear up a golf course, I would have to say that he has reduced the raccoon population by several hundred. Even went out and bought a Tennessee Treeing Walker Coonhound, just to "help" control the undesirable species.

It's not the gross that counts, it's the net.

That is not entirely true. The net is different for everyone, I'll promise you that my net is higher on less gross if you are making a van payment! I don't owe a dime to anyone on anything to do with this business, this business does not have to net a dime, it does but i'll net more on less gross then most, so Gross IS also what counts!

If you ain't grossing it, you ain't netting it!! Unless like me you also enjoy screwing the IRS for every dime you can!!

It does not matter if you have a vehicle payment or not. There is a cost whether or not the vehicle is paid for up front or by making payments the cost is the same (except for interest payments)

Ice....please layoff the CAPITAL LETTERS....bad web etiquette.

Reminds me of the early days when we used our Qualcomm for personal E-Mail. I believe it was called Cab Card run by Com Check.

Anyway the recipient would allways get the message all in caps. That's the Qualcomm way and you have no control over the upper case and lower case.

This prompted my daughter to ask, "Dad why are you allways shouting" HA!

So.... are you telling me that my use of the "shift Key" was only for my personal satisfaction??

dcalien · Dec 2, 2008

I stayed out til the last minute for Thanksgiving and had all the work I could do. Now that it is not a holiday however...Glad I am making more money on the weekends doing something other than expediting.

Hey I have to find some way to support my expedite habit.
