Weir Driving cont.

This week I have started working alot more hours at my job at Weir, and let me tell you, it's starting to really catch up with me. I feel like a man thats been doing this for thirty years. I wake up at about 5 in the morning get to work by 5:30 or 6 and I don't get off until like 7 or 8, or later. load my truck up and head on my first route of the day. Lately I have been going to Missouri alot, which isn't so bad since most of it is city driving anyway. But they did have me going to like Marion and places farther south in Illinois like that. Those were okay but at the same not because they were kind of boring drives, because everything looks the same. I really enjoy the job though, it allows me to not have to do the same old thing everyday. Thats one of the best perks of the job. I don't get to do as much as I used to in my spare time with this job though, which kind of sucks, but the paycheck ends up being worth it. I don't mind putting in all those hours though, it keeps me out of trouble and gives me something to do. When I get off I'm always hanging out with my girlfriend, working on putting something new on my jeep, and sleeping.

Weir Driving!

So last week at Weir they asked me if I wanted to drive a route all the way down by Metropolis so I was like what the heck why not. I drove the long three hour drive down there and finally got back after a whole nine hours after all my stops when done. After that route Weir asked me if I would want to be a full time fill in driver, which means that whenever a driver calls in, which they all do at some point, I take their route for the day. There is always atleast one driver a day who cannot drive so I stay very busy. I also just recently bought a gps which made my driving life a whole lot easier on these routes. If I didn't have a gps I would be lost everyday of my life on these things. I've recently been as far as Jefferson City in Missouri, Metropolis in Illinois, and I'm going to Paducah Kentucky on tomarrow's route. My favorite of all of the routes that I have done would be the S-1 route to Metropolis.

The Oakland Raiders con't...

Alright well the Oakland Raiders are now 1-3 which is a bunch of bull crap because we should of won the last two games we have played in. We lost to the Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans both in the seven point range. We had the Cardinals but the bastards beat us by one point and the Texans beat us by a touchdown, they scored in like the last two minutes to take a lead. I think we will still be okay though for the rest of the season as long as our offense starts improving just a little bit. I also think that Bruce Gradkowski should start rest of the season and Jason Campbell should just sit for a while and Darren McFadden is definately improving this year. McFadden will gain well over 1200 yards this season without a doubt. For this Sunday's game i'm predicting that the Raiders will sadly lose by a touchdown but only because the San Diego Chargers are pretty good this year.

Lifted 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I own a lifted 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. It is light gray with dark gray trim on the bottom. I bought this jeep from Total Eclipse two years ago when it had 113,xxx miles on it and it now has 160,xxx on it but, I've been replacing almost every part slowly since then. On the interior I had a new headliner put in, I bought two 10" Alpine subwoofers, I put new back hinges on back hatch, It has a new head unit and I recently put in an alarm system. On the outside I Put a 3" suspension lift on it with new shocks, new rotors and brake pads, new 15x8 black American Racing wheels with chrome center caps, new chrome lugnuts, I had 20% tint put on 360 degrees including the eyebrow on the front, I have blacked out my front turn signals and tail lights, put new headlight assemblies in with new headlights, put vent visors and a bugshield on, just recently bought new 31x10.5x15 Hankook Dynapro ATM tires, I have a custom exhaust and the last thing I have done on the outside so far is replace all of the seals on my four wheel drive and front and rear differentials. Under the hood I have bought a K&N air filter and put a new battery in, and flushed out the radiator and put new anti-freeze in. I've also repainted the roof rack on it and had all the dents removed. It also has a Fox sticker on the back window. Altogether I have about two and a half grand put into my jeep for now. I will keep you updated on my modifications when they occur.

The Oakland Raiders

I have liked the Oakland Raiders since I was about six or seven years old. My dad was watching a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Oakland Raiders and I just picked the Raiders and I remember telling my dad that's going to be my favorite team for now on and they have been ever since. even though the last like four years haven’t been the best for Oakland I think this year they will at least win eight to nine games, realistically. In my world I would love for them to win all sixteen games, but come on seriously that's asking a bit too much. This year they have started out 0-1, but we play the St. Louis Rams today (who are TERRIBLE!) so I’m thinking the first "W" will come today and that will be our first win this season.
