You'll get used to it. I know it's rough, but, it will be worth it in the end.

mornin' all.

SuperK, a coworker of mine does that and makes good money. She does her round, sleeps for a bit and then heads either into work or does other non work stuff. I've even thought about it..

Well, I got up at 2 and went to the warehouse. The front page sections were running late due to the all-star race. Once they arrived, I loaded (and I mean loaded) up the car and started the route at around 3:00. I just finished it up at 9:00. I've got to do something to speed things up, although I don't know what quite yet.

Didn't go to the All Star race but was in the area to get a few shots. Here's some of the more "interesting" ones. I'll keep it to a few in case the 56k crowd's still lurking about. I would've loved to have started a new thread but I figure it has a shot of staying in this forum by putting it here. And please...this is alllll in fun....


When the checkout line stuff doesn't cut it any longer (and yes, the place really exists, somewhere between Tsunami's and the Harley Davidson shop).




Oh look, the porch furniture (there's a second recliner on the other side of that sofa)....





Daisy Dukes, god love ya....






Awesome...this must be a race fan's version of a master bathroom.





Last but not least, typical nascar fans enjoying their big day. You have some pretty nifty looking souvenirs in the official merch trailer, the omnipresent Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Sr. fans and three white people with "do my eyes deceive me, is that a black man" looks on their faces.

One word "pooped"! Had the big surprise b-day party for my SIL last night, house was packed with about 45 guests. The cat worked the party all night and if anyone was even near his treats he would pop on his hind legs and paw at the treats, like we never give him any and had to beg for them, stinker! Spent Fri and yesterday cleaning so absolutely pooped, even the dog slept in 2 hours this AM. Wait a minute, somethings calling me again, ah yes, the sofa..hope you all had a great weekend.

That has to be hard. I hope you will be able to adjust okay in time. Hang in there.

Brian - love the photos!!! That lounge and sofa outside the RV . . . I gotta wonder - was this INSIDE the RV and they dragged it outside????

My sister was at the race. I watched it on TV. I love being in the stands, but honestly - sitting at home and watching the TV probably gets the best vantage point, anyway.

I don't know but with all of the mist, rain, and then sun they're gonna need a bucket of Fabreeze in order to make that thing tolerable for the ride back.
