LOL, nice I love it, and having worked in a continuos production operation, we did things in 8 hr shifts. Work 8 rest 16, be back to hit it again. It was a never ending story. Weary ain't the word for these bones.

Talaniman: You know it, brother: And, then, there were the GLORIOUS Annual Shutdowns where the "days" had no "hours": You could work as long as you wanted to, nobody would tell you to go home.....just be back out here at O'Dark Thirty! Thank the good Lord, we only have those every 12-18 months! Takes weeks to recover from them....like some kind of hangover without an initial "feel good" time, just the kick-in-the-head feeling from the start!

The memories of those days still wears me out NOW! 16 on 8 off, but we always had a down unit to service. Yeah, that explains the nightmares about machines, 17 years later.

My best friend Jack Daniels tried his best to help, but that definitely didn't work out. My bad for trusting the sucker!
