Dang it's been a long time since I've been on SG. I've missed this place. Quick shout out to all the beautiful ladies in my friends list, and to the new members that I just became acquainted with..... much love.
So what have I been doing? Mostly working. I'm a heavy equipment operator and I'm currently driving the worlds largest offroad haul truck:
I'm not actually in this picture, but I drove this truck just last week. The other day I drove #561, which only had +200hrs on it...... Nothing like breaking in a 6.5 Million dollar vehicle. We work 12hr shifts.... I wake up at 5am and I leave the house @ 5:45am and I don't get back home until 9:30pm..... which leaves very little time to do anything else but sleep. We work 3 day shifts, followed by 3 night shifts and then we get 6 days off....... But I end up putting in 2-3 days of overtime in sometimes.
When not workin', I've been wrenching on my Jeep. Nothing like getting a little dirty. I installed a cat-back exhaust/muffler relocation kit, an evap canister relocation kit, new fenders, front bumper and a body lift kit..... over the last month or so. I've even been messing around with a lot of electrical components lately, so I've been learning all kinds of stuff. I just ordered a cargo rack, new wheels and in the next week or so I'll finally order the bigger tires so it doesn't look as funny. Here's a few pics:
Hmmmm..... I only have the one pic. Oh well, I'll post some more when the new tires are on.
Oh..... for a good laugh watch this:
Well..... It's been over 24 hrs since I've had any sleep, so I guess I should try and fit a few winks in
The good news is that I have 2 more days off, work 1 day of O.T and have 2 more off again YAY.
