Updates on life.

Hey everyone I miss all of you. My mj is out of commission for a while and that's why I haven't been posting very often. Thought I'd post something to see what everyone's been up To. I started a plowing job and just did a 10 hour shift and also did a 25 hour shift the other day!

 

Also in the picture is My garbage can xj. Thing makes me reallllllly miss the drive of my mj

Just some friendly life advice from somebody who has been there.  Don't pull 25 hour shifts, especially not if you're operating dangerous equipment or working on critical devices.

 

After 18 hours you're fatigued enough to be equivalent to what is considered legally intoxicated.  It will get worse from there.

 

We had a young guy stuff the loader bucket through our hangar door right after Christmas.  Had to get the prybars and the sledgehammers out to straighten it enough to open, and had our air ambulance offline until we could do so.  He had been plowing snow starting the afternoon before and then continued all through the night.  I'm pretty happy he only hit the door, and that we managed to get it working before missing a call.

 

I've also done some incredibly stupid things as the direct result of fatigue.

my life lately has been project after project.  first the heat pump tried to burn the house down, then the durango got hit, then the lawn tractor started leaking oil as fast as I could put it in the top, then the fridge died, the the septic stopped functioning.  good times.

Yeah I agree. I was only in a empty home depot parking lot and felt fine. Definitely not something I would do  more then once a week.
