I've never known of anybody to use them daily. But then maybe these people ride a whole lot more than most people I know.
As for the strike, I guess the mobile equipment is what I'd be doing if there was one. That's sure better than having to learn to operate one of the mills or an overhead crane. It would be a fun change for a while, if it weren't for having to drive through a picket line of extremely angry people who are facing the loss of their livelyhood if things don't go well. I've never had to do that before and I sure hope I don't have to this time. Things can get realy ugly in situations like that. But what choice do I have. If I don't, I'll lose MY job. Plus, if it happens, it'll be in October, so my trip out to your place would get cancelled and that would just really suck. They're telling everybody that if they schedule vacation trips in October, November or December that they'd better be sure that it was refundable. :o(
Oh man, I really hate to hear that, on all counts. As it gets closer if you think there is a chance it’s going to happen we could always move the get together up to Sept.
