I volunteered for a layoff at Duracell a few weeks ago with full pay and benifits and unemployement,the pay will last 14 weeks and the unemployment last 26 weeks with the opertunity to file for a extention after that,anyway I've been in the shop working and selling parts and buying trucks and it dont get know better than that. I have also had two interviews for a new job as a AMIT with Advance Auto Parts there opening a new store across town but I still got about 3 more weeks hopefully. I guess I'm a ramblin man too!

I've been off all this week and will have another extra week in January so I dont back till the 13th. I havent been doing anything to the truck tho. Everytime I touch something here lately it breaks so I'm staying away from it. Nice to be off this time fo the year but doesnt say much for the economy.

Don't mean to rub it in but I am off 365 days a year (retired). Only one bad thing about it -- not as young as you guys either. Much harder to crawl under my truck now.
