Keith,

It looks like the best way to your house is up 25 to Folsom right?

I didn't try orbitz or anything but just checking online they all run within 20 bucks of each other. The Courtyard (marriot) is off the main drag and may be safer for leaving our trucks overnight I'm leaning real close to this one it's real nice and my company uses it when we do the NOV crane schools in Covington.. There's a Holiday Inn, Super 8, BestWestern, Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn, La Quinta Inn, Etc. The cheapest double room (me and Kevin will split a room) is 90 bucks at the Super 8 and the most expensive was The Courtyard 109 bucks. This was online no special deals or anything. I'll talk to Kevin and let everyone know where we decide to stay.

Alright Keith that's good, I got it and know just how to get there.

Craig that's cool, Kevin and I are going to stay at the Courtyard (Marriot) just in case you change your mind. I just got off the phone with him. I'll book it in the morning. If something happens and I don't get a room there Holiday Inn is next on my list. I'll know for sure tomorrow, I'm headed to bed soon 4.30 comes early and I'm on east coast time here in Trinidad.

Wouldn't you know not 20 minutes later they came and got me. We had a hydraulic problem with our drawworks disc brake and I wound up working until 3.30 in the morning. What a bummer. At least I'll sleep good tonight.

Hey Mike, Thanks for doing the legwork on the room, Dawg. I'm like you, Aug. 8th can't seem to get here fast enough.

:lol: I am not laughing at you bro since I know EXACTLY what you are talking about!

Nothing better than changing a EMD pack at 2:00am and finally getting to sleep for about 30 minutes and someone opens you door saying, " Chief, hey Chief, you asleep yet, Captain said to get you up "? I jump up and soon realise that there are NO alarms going off on the panel in my room so I run down to the engine room only to find EVERYTHING running perfect.

I go up to the wheelhouse to see whats going on and the captain says, "hey, you got todays fuel report?" :twisted:
