******,
Well, I am working the long shift today 6 am-6 pm. I really don't mind though, I am a contractor and I get paid hourly. I work for IBM as a E-business Network Support Engineer.
That means I make sure companies websites that we host stay up and running. That means if nothing happens I surf for 12 hours. Not bad. Anybody else in the IT field?

SVT-Snake - I'm in IT as well. We keep the global network, servers and systems running. Mostly it's for our own internal use but we do have some customers that ride our WAN.

I was at work, making batteries, mon-sat.
Today I'm at home-at work. Furnace won't stay running & refrigerator is not keeping beer and ice cream cold enough. Maybe I'll just throw some ice in the furnace- and store "valuables" in there. *^$()&$)#@*&*$
Otherwise, not a bad day. Ok, back to maintenance........

LightStruck,
Why does it seem the furnace shuts off when it gets really cold? Mine has a bad relay, the one that sends gas when the electric pilot lights, works when it wants to, like when I am gone and don't need to heat the house! Go figure.

Kent,
All I remember about his exhaust was the JBA headers, at least that is what I think he had. I am planning some major mods in the next few months. Right now my girl is in the garage away from the clod weather. When are you wanting to go to Bandimere next? I will try to have my mods done by then.

Just venting...

Although I've been on vacation since October 31, my parent were up visiting since Thursday, and at times, it seemed like work. I had to explain "why" to most everything. AURGGGGG! For instance, our dogs were standing in front of the sliding glass door because they want to go outside and chase squirrels. Both parents (on two separate occasions) asked if they should let them out. I said "yes but you MUST open the slider QUICKLY." Of course, they opened the slider slowly while asking "why." After the dogs scraped hair off their ribs onto the door edges, I showed them why.

Explanations were required too often!

My Lightning doesn't ask "why" when I say "go." It just GOES!

I don't know how I have time to get on this board with my full time studies at UNLV and a full time job at the Bellagio. I guess its my love for this truck. Hell, I don't know why I'm here right now with my final school project due in 3 days and I'm only 1/4 done.
And to add to this I have to work today and tomorrow but I guess its ok because I have to take care of Mariah Carey and here stupid boyfriend(Luis Miguel), and Eddie Murphy as well. Man these people are a pain in the you know what.
