Well it is nearly Christmas , It's a little different this year with Mom being gone . I get to work day shift the next couple weeks which is kinda nice. No production over the holidays, so we can get some of the major P.Ms done . I get to work 7am to 3pm rather than my usual 1 pm to 11 pm shift. 

  I got a bunch of stuff through the fall  employee tool sale , with extra discounts over and above the regular employee discount. One of the items is a jump starter /battery booster box. It takes an 18 volt battery and boosts it up to start an engine. That might be a handy thing to have in these latitudes, if it saves me fooling with jumper cables or dragging out a battery charger and 100 feet of extension cord it'll be worth it.
