The old in out in out

When it gets to be turn back time, things get hectic in the reconditioning world. Automobiles manufacturers get flooded by rental fleets and they have to move them in a New York minute. So they rely on Auto Auctions to broker the deal. Manhiem Auctions is the biggest auction on the planet and they move the cars back to your friendly neighborhood dealer. So once the auctions are flooded reconditioning companies are slammed. Thats when travel season starts for me. Playing "Major Backup' I come in and support local markets for whatever task is needed. I have seen so many cars in the last three weeks I feel like I actually have a job again. You might be asking yourself, "what's the problem." Well, working on the weekends sucks, living out of a hotel room with no kitchen is worse, riding the bike at night sucks after the first couple novelty rides and I haven't seen the temperature gauge crack 25º in the afore mentioned three week period. Yes, I work outside, and ride outside half the time. The bitching continues live somewhere in the midwest if you can find me to here it.

There is not much I know for sure. But, I do know this.....cars are coffins, I hate the auto industry, but I like what I do. Wrap yourself around that one if you will.

Today....

....I got up and had a cup of Coffee. Gotcha. I don't drink coffee, and I got up last night. Code Red works better than coffee, and it tastes like sugary goodness instead of dirt. Caffeine has its down side because rest stops suck to sleep in. I woke up in a hot sweat somewhere on I70 as the sun was coming up in a safeish looking rest stop with a handful of truckers staring at me (hot sweat). Not sure when I got there, but I am guessing since I was sitting in it I got there in my Danger Ranger. So the travel season begins. And, as it begins know this...if I am found dead on the side of the road in the afore mentioned Ranger, I hate that truck and it hates me. I love to travel and I like my job. But, my back hates to travel and standing on ice all day sucks.

Go ride your bike and pop a wheelie. Don't read this.
