They used to have shift start and end times staggered in groups ten minutes apart, over about an hour or two.

Now it is more like twenty minutes over an hour or two.
Aha, that makes sense.

Hey Bob. Life has been busy
Busy is good, other possible issues can be bad.

There were trees like that where I lived as a boy in Chesapeake, Virginia. The group of boys I played with called them “itchy ball trees”, and the spiny things “itchy balls”. As we rode our bicycles around we would swing them by the stems.



We called ourselves the “itchy ball gang”.

cheesy

A bunch of friends and I used to frequently sample the pleasures sold by ladies of the night. We were called "itchy ball gang" too.
Well, well, look what the cat dragged in.

Is this what it takes to draw you out of your shell Charlie?

Itchy balls?

Hey, I've been busy too. Ten and twelve hour days at The Big Shed. Honey-dos for Mrs. Racer 2.0, and of course all my own very important stuff to do.

And I still manage to stop by and say hello.

You haven't gotten that off road thing hopelessly mired in Quebec mud have you?

Definitely better than the other way around, I agree.

Good to see you, Charlie.
