What do you plan to do with your time off?

It's countdown to Christmas and a lot of us will have some time off (I get 2 weeks), What do you plan to get accomplished?

Me? I plan on pulling an engine or two and putting one back in my '52, probably numerous trips to the pick n pull to make it work, drinking beer, opening gifts I don't need (not many people will buy you a used car parts for Christmas), drinking beer, maybe mockup the TAV8.

I plan on doing all my Christmas shopping this Sat., leaving the rest of the time open for getting greasy.

You?

 

I get no real time off seeing how we are small business owners.
Im spending the Eve with family
the Day with Wife and kid
then they are off to Cali and Im free to wack off and watch **** without worring about getting cought

 

The Rocket Factory usually shuts down for about two weeks for the Christmas/New Year holidays. Since we're still trying to get something flying again, we may have to work over the holidays. If I can weasle out of it and nothing else crops up, I plan to do plenty of mini-milling!

 

2 weeks off,
Most time off during a holiday for ten years.
Plans are to take the sick 21 bolt flatty out of the 37 and replace it with a new and improved smallblock crate motor. NOT
Actually another flathead 8BA will rise from the ashes and power the beast. Can't wait!
Pictures and story to follow after the holidays.

 

What, I'm suppose to get time off?!?
Ain't gonna happen. I work for a newspaper (online ad dept) so it's tough getting even a whole day off. I've got a few vacation days left. I'll take Christmas Eve and New Years Eve off.

 

I get no days off either except for Christmas day...but hey I work at a landfill so its pickin through all the stuff people got rid of!!!!

 

Saturday with the family and Sunday in the garage.

never had time off when I wasn't sick or layed off.

never had a paid day off, ever.

Thanks, that's a picture in my head that will never go away. Your jack rag will be able to stand up by itself.

 

More like a towel hahahahahahaahh SICK O's

 

I only have a few paid days off, and don't plan on doing much except screwing around w/ my new F1 and getting drunk.

I was fortunate enough to have been given 2 months paid vacation this year (in addition to the company paying me to go to Jamaica 3 times), so I'm thinking about a major road trip through the northwest this summer.

 

I'm rewiring my chevy during my time off

 

I'm heading down to Tennessee to terrorize the Poor Boys and do alittle work on Big Olds..... oh yeah, I hear there is a HUGE s****book store in the Piegon Forge/Gatlinburg area that I need to find while I'm hanging out in the area.

 

My last Christmas off was 1971. I'll be working overtime so one of the married guys can stay home and break the kids toys & trip over the wrapping paper.

 

I get 2 weeks off. So I plan on...

Sleep.

Weather permitting I am hoping to stripe a friend of mine's car... first car to stripe!

Paint, pull lines, etc.

Work on some web sites

sleep

get some domestic **** done

probably do some work on the Buick and whatever else I can help my husband with on The Beast.

stuff like that.

Oh, and did I mention sleep?

 

I'm not sure if I work every day or get every day off?

Me and some friends are going to make a log manifold for my buick, and I am going to get down to the shop and pull the head of the straight 8 to see what kind of rebuild job I have infront of me.I also plan to sleep and get some real heavy pinstriping practice, I love spending an entire day just pinstriping.

 

Time off what the hell is that. Found out today that I am going on Swing shift (3:00 to 11:30 PM) and scheduled to work both Christmas Eve and Christmas. Christmas BAH HUMBUG!!!!

 

Well, if I can get some space in my old mans garage, I will be doing a mock up on my pickup and channeling it!

I'll be busy..I just bought a new Radiant Gas tube heater for my shop..the ins. company nixed my woodstove three years ago so I haven't done much in the wintertime. Gonna install the heater..put in some more ceiling insulation..got a few sheets of plywood to put in the ceiling...gonna take a set of heads to the machine shop for my Hemi-'56 F100 project...put a few project cars away...fix the floor in my Peterbilt...probably shovel some snow... maybe start on my ch***is jig...

Mommy, I learned a new word this Christmas!!
JACK RAG!!
Could have gone the rest of the year without uncovering that gem...
G.

 

I am off from the 24th to the 3rd this year...makes things kinda nice. The last two weeks I have been working 3:30 am until atleast 1:30 pm, it will be nice to sleep in until...say...6 or 7 am. Other than Christmas with the family, my only plans are to do some detail work on the Buick.

 

What time off?
Am I missing something?
I work all day to look after the kids!
After having the kids all day,
I'll wanna work!!

 

where I work we got to draw straws for time off, I got to work thanksgiving, so I have christmas off. People always travel so I am always at work. Plus I work all the weekends so I never have a saterday or sunday off.
