    I cant blame you,our weather hasnt been the best.Upper 30s and 40s at times,next day 70s or 80s...then back down to the 40s and back up to the 70s.But nothing like what your dealing with .Personally,one of the hardest things in my life is not to answer the phone when needed....its against my work ethic.And that might not be good,its an old way I guess.Maybe the young generation is right,they dont think anything of it.But if you text them you have a better chance.I feel for the guys that are short on lineman....because as you get older you understand more and more that there is such a thing as a break.Anyway good luck.

    Not trying to be funny or anything ,but I wonder how many times Bren will actually do hot work giving the unusual short amount of time you spend at any given company .Seems like a moving company training would pay-off more in the short and long run to me .GET IT (SHORT).But what does reppy know?

    Havnt used one yet ...we are only the contractor for these guys. When we get up and running next week I will see what vehicles we get... NOT A CLUE YET. !!!!! But should get a go in one of these mewps and I will ask them how they rate them.

    Poece of cake Reppy ..
    I was on my way to a round of the world superbikes a few years ago. Four of us set off from London to go to Imola .....
    no problem going through France Germany " bit of Switzerland " across the alps ....
    THEN WE HIT MILAN AT RUSH HOUR..
    TRYING TO GET AROUND THE ROUNDABOUTS WAS MENTAL.
    i remember one of the lads saying " the only way you can be on the other side of this roundabout IS TO BE BORN THERE"

    "ALL ITALIANS THINK THEY ARE RACING DRIVERS.. " and God forbid they ever let go of the horn".

    I think that's why the pope lives over that way. " THE DRIVING ENCOURAGES PRAYING ".
