Maine gets a tad more than Vermont because of the ocean. 4 feet of snow per storm isn't all that unusual. Pretty country tho.. if you can survive it!

Late evening all remaining breakroomians. Came home and got creative. Can't stand to watch to much 9-11 stuff. Gets the blood boiling too high and hot. Took apart an old powered sub and a Honda Pilot sub to make one for under the back seat. One man's junk and all that. Pics later. Tired now. Beer.

Chris

His family is having a reunion this weekend, I gave him an hand setting up the tent/canopy, tables, chairs, and some other stuff. Spent about 5 hrs with him today, had a good time. He really apprieciated the help. Stopped at dads, after dropping the FIL off,to look at the progress of the tractor. So far it looks good,they got the frame, engine, and rear done. They are gonna finish the sheet metal tomorrow.

Made steak fajitas for dinner tonight, I got left overs if anyone wants me to fax them some!

Beer.
Heck, I'm off the next couple of weeks. You aughta come up and help me get my 8N running. I'll buy the beer. Salmon will be in the river. Could do a cast and blast too.

Evening Chris and Claude.

Chris I can't watch the 9/11 shows either. I get upset and mad when I watch them. It was either watch that or Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe tonight. I opted for watching The dirty jobs episode that took place near me at Fair Oaks Farms in Indiana.

I see, he's doin a little more than what Dad and I are into. We are just repainting and getting the M diesel back to original condition. The farmer before us hacked it up some. It did need a new IP and Injectors, that was done a few yrs ago. I resealed the rear/trans, rebuilt the throttle controls(the originals were gone adn the farmer made some cobble of a control to replace it), Ran the over head, took off the after market PS unit and hydros, and it will be getting a wide front soon. He wants it to be a show tractor when we are done to go along with his Super C.
