    The second wind...a love hate relationship

    My day.....wake up at 4 am, at work by 4:30 and on my way to Bristol Connecticut to look at a machine we are thinking about buying. I hit the George Washington bridge at 6:30 am and it was grid lock......F'ing gps...I knew I should have taken the tapanzee bridge...spelling is off what ever. I honestly dont know how the people that live around NYC do it.....to hell with that traffic! I arrive at my location around 10 am...spend 3 hours taking serial numbers off of motors, the machinery and plenty of pictures.....1 pm I point the company tuck south.....made good time on the way back......mainly because I skirted the GW bridge and the nightmare that NYC is.....and made it back in 3 hrs flat, after spending that much time in a truck I needed 2 things, a hot shower and a cold beer.....got home got the shower but decided to hit happy hour at the local pub....girl #2 called and we hung out for a bit ...we both got what w were looking for and here I am, up since 4 ....frosty beverage in hand and not really looking forward to the alarm clock going off at 4 am again tomorrow....F it you-only live once right....The moral of my story is beware of the second wind.....they always hit you when you should really be sleeping.

    LIE is one reason for moving south..

    used to have a supra twin turbo..useless in the winter..so i drove my trusty IH Scout 350 BB, 33" Cepeks, chains for snow..invincible..that is until a snow storm drove 5" drifts against the barn doors..took 4 hours to dig it out..only to find frozen battery due to heater malfunction..said f$^k it and moved south..enough of that crap. Frosty beverage..can that...want antifreeze???TEQUILA is the only liquid for winter months.
