You sure hit the mark there Dood. Had a couple of very nice Glenlivet 12 year olds tonite - made me think that I should get out in the garage and clean my Whitewalls, then I remembered that i don't have any !

Now where is that bed of mine.

Helps pain in metal joints, too, d00d!  ;)  (I'm a Lagavulin 12yo man, myself...)

Are you back at work fully?

Luckily I have no pain in the metal joints, but could probably find some other medicinal purposes ;) to partake in some of that. :2vrolijk_21:

Not back to work yet, don't plan on going back anytime soon. I can retire in July '08, and have close to two years sick time on the books. If I'm able to go back to work full duty then I will otherwise I'm just going to use my sick time until it's time for me to retire.

That sounds awfully sensible, d00d!  :2vrolijk_21:  Interesting that you can accumulate sick time like that. doesn't happen over here!  But you should use it as you say.  I guess unless you go back to FULL duty, it would be a pretty boring waste of time (especially when you could be riding or polishing some of that chrome!)  :orange:

Exactly the way I feel. Especially when I can make the same amount of money staying at home doing what you mentioned. They don't pay you for the sick time when you leave, however they have this formula where they will add time to your years of service for pension purposes. This formula gives you pennies on the dollar to what you've earned and there is a cap (six months) that can be added to your time of service. There was someone that retired in November that had over 4 years of sick time and all he got was six months added to his time of service. Didn't take me long to realize if I wasn't able to go back to full duty and I had this amount of time to use it.

So in effect, you get penalised  at the end of your career, for not going off sick!  Crazy, huh?  Still, 6 months worth more than you would get here, so at least it's something.  And you can start a part time business from home - a "Chrome Advisory Service"!  :drink:

get rid of the while walls and get black walls = more time riding.   ::)

They look nice when clean....after that, they'er a pain. 

If you must though..as the majority state...WBW.
