Good luck to you on your finals, Pablo. I will be spending most of the weekend with my mom. Off to mom's house sometime after work on Saturday and Sunday we'll be going to church and then to my aunt's for dinner with more of our family.This Easter weekend I will also continue to pray hard for the life of Terri Schindler-Schaivo. A more absurd abuse of the US legal system I hope to never witness again in my entire life. May God somehow save this woman's life and spare her this needless suffering.I hope that everyone has a great Easter holiday and God bless.

Well Pablo I'll be enjoying mine about as much as yours. I get to work 8 hours from 8:30-5pm. I'm missing our big family brunch and I don't even get paid holiday pay ebcause they don't consider Easter a holiday? Explain that to me please? So I'm missing my grandma's excelent home made Belgium Pork Sausage and red cabbage for $6 an hour...

Sorry to hear that, Merz. I'd be mighty pi$$ed too if I had to miss out on the fresh pork sausage!Holiday pay is usually determined by the employer's policies. Many employers don't give holiday pay to part-time employees. Even the ones that give a paid holiday day off to full-time employees usually require that you work the day before the holiday and the day after to qualify for that paid holiday. I'll have to check my company handbook to see how many paid holidays I have this year. I'm into my 6th year with the company, so I think I get 3 but I have to check.

We went on a 6 hour quad ride thru the AZ desert, found an abandoned old horse ranch out in the middle of no where. There were quite a few old bunk houses, a big barn and this 1953 international dozer. It was located in a beautiful box canyon.

That's soooo awsome! I love exploring and finding old things.Never ridden anything with a motor besides a boat, car, and snowmobile. I've allways wanted to go in an open field or something.

That's the funny thing about construction equipment--almost every machine that a manufacturer makes uses the exact same key. I can use my work keys to open and run any machine made by that company anywhere in the country, unless the owner has changed the lock cylinder to only work with their own keys. I have keys for machines made by CAT, John Deere, J.I. Case, International, Fiat-Allis, Ford, JCB, and probably a few more.
