observation

I just returned from my bi-monthly 7 day work sojurn. A year ago, I could sit down at the computer and catch up on the past weeks Forum posting in about 15 minutes. It just took me 4 hours to read everything (yes, I read all of them!)that was posted since I have been gone. This thing has really grown!

Hugh,

I do have access to the Internet on my site location, but I hardly have time to check it out much myself lately. I try to check ealy in the morning before my people get here and from then, it is catch as catch can. By the time I get to my house in the evening, I am ready to crash.

I think I am doing a little better than you as you don't access for the full week. Glad you are back safe!

That is roughly twice as many as we had this time last year! This site is beginning to ROCK!

Come on now, I work in a shhool like you do. Aggravating sometimes, yes, but hard money, no. Kids are generally great, parents are a problem.

It takes me a pretty good amount of time to catch up with whats happened overnight!

Jim, it's in the oilfield, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

I got my 40 year Rolex two years ago, started drawing my SS last year, work a week on and a week off and get 5 weeks paid vacation. On top of that, I have time to do my grip checkering while on the job! And they keep worrying about me retiring! Who want's to leave a cushy job like this one? I feel like I'm semi-retired already.
