    Phil, Squid-in-Training

    Head of Management and Operations in Asia/Pacific Region for a Hospitality Company. Right now I'm
    busy overseeing the scaling down of our Southern Hemisphere human resources due to an over supply of
    labour this winter. I'm also primary stock holder in said operation.

    Translated, I own my own Pub/Cafe & Bar that I've been developing. Right now, I'm laying off
    a couple of part-time staff. During winter I have no money to ride. During summer I have no
    time to ride.

    Do you ever pull over the 18-wheeler and take your bike out of the back and ride for a couple hours
    in these places you mention... given that you're ahead of schedule?

    If he's anything like the truckies that I know, he's never got the time cause he's always being
    scheduled too tight. And you don't want to come back and find your $100 000 baby gone either
    (athough the mental picture of an 18 wheeler stripped and up on blocks is interesting).

    I did that job one time - it paid for a small but secure room for the night, a cup of Satan's own
