with todays technology, it be a hell of alot easier to throw it in CAD and be down with it. old school technology... never fails

I even have CAD on my computer on site, its not like they do not have it because some of the drawings are done in CAD. If they have to make a change it is a simple click away, not a new drawing if you do it by hand. Some times people make no sence to me.

yea i know what you mean... we have basemaps in CAD and when they do a new install, rather than add it electronically to the existing CAD file they print it out and draw it and all the details for the install by hand. i mean they printed it out at one point on a comp, so why not just draw it in before you print it out. like you said, people never seize to amaze me.

There were a few of us out at the Buck. Dodges took both pulling classes, a 6.0 beat a 24 valve in the drag finals, and a 1st gen Dodge won the show & shine! The Duramaxes are on the run!

I will be there until we have to leave for the pull. We should have it done by then though.

weather may be the determining factor...looks like rain for saturday night...if so we may head to tuckahoe because the pull starts earlier.

we'll play it by ear closer to saturday.

Tree stump number 2... Went over to a friends house today and snatched an Apple tree stump up out of the ground. Took longer to get there than it did to get it out of the ground. All in in time to get to work tonight. I didn't think to grab the camera before I left. Size, I could most likely get my arms around the base.

This is why I much rather have a truck. Works hard and plays hard.

SGT's exam process is over next week. THANK GOD!!

**Cave request: I have an Air Dog 150 to install. The Boss is requesting (aka telling) I get my stuff out her spare room/closet. Family is coming for my daughter's graduation. Let me know when it might be possible and what might be needed. Thanks in advance. Hope to catch up with you all soon.

Peace
