    She's driving the forklift because she needs the pointy things out front for the deer.

    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Nell I apologize. I'm sure you are a very good driver. I was just trying to be funny and I seem to have failed miserably.

    Oh heck don't apologize Kevin,it was funny,because people look at me kinda funny when I climb on the lift to load them,with 4 guys hanging around they think they want somene who knows what they are doing on the lift,well,I know what I am doing,did it for years LOL.

    When I first learned how,my co-workers made fun of me because of the size of the lift I was on,one Christmas gift I got that year was a Tonka toy,with a note that it was much more my size,I'm used to the kidding. And I take no offense,when customers comment that maybe one of the guys should load them,I just grin and go on with my job,shuts them up pretty quick.LMAO!

    Here I was immediately thinking that if she wants to get more deer, MDN is gonna need a faster forklift.

    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    I like it, given my recent adventure (didn't understand "dodge" the deer, went for "DODGE" the deer) I should probably do the same.

    I had to play dodge the deer 2 nights ago,on the ice that has form since the snowis melting and refreezing at night,thankfully,I respect the snow and ice and was going a snails pace when six of them ran out in front of me,so no issues with stopping,but I had already seen the lights flash in their eyes so I knew they were out there.

    Nice. I was looking at energy management with a solar/wind minor as my degree. I was losing 10 hours a week with the drive to school, and the gas was out of pocket. Just could not keep it up for financial reasons. There is some pretty cool stuff out there, if you can get folks consumption down to work within what the system will make on an average. Once I get back to work, I will be putting a solar water heating system on the house. I already have a smaller PV set-up for the shed out back (should be about 400W), I just have to get some nice weather to assemble it (plus get some LED lamps to fully take advantage of it).

    Looks like you have the potential to be a Double F.A.R.T. if you also qualify for the Fairly Agile Response Team - and it sounds as though you do.

    I'm a "Desk/Phone Jockey". I get to spend my days answering the phone, redirecting calls, scheduling meetings, sorting mail, receiving deliveris and ordering other peoples lunches... I believe the term is "Peon".
    It give me plenty of time to wish I was camping.

    I wish. Unfortunately, our discounts are good for lawn tractors. Maybe a Gator, though...
