Moonin.

Scott, I'll ask the boss for it.

I hate to say it, but it's going to be a bad day/bad couple of days. Nothing serious, mind you, but frustrating. I sure need this school to succeed, but it is a pain in the chaikwa.

Coffee and oatmeal. PT is next.

We took the 1997 boom off a 1990 l9000 Ferd that we had, stripped it down rebuilt all the pistons, all new fittings and hydraulic lines, controls and mounted it to a 2005 KW T800 heavy spec triple frame. We put new tool boxes on the sides had it all painted up, all new aluminum rims, brakes, cans, clutch, etc. All this while maintaining all the other hangers we have.

I can not wait to get my bay back.

Yes, you did. But I figured THAT one would be long since finished by now and this was another new one. THEN I remembered you were a truckie and I actually marveled for a few minutes that it's only taken you this long on it!

We definitely need pics tho Tim!

Why does a volley FD need a 35 Ton Wrecker? They drive that bad?

Sprinkled a bit early this AM. Nothing but rain in the forecast though.

Looking like a busy day in the big house again today.

I was kinda sad after our last cat of 16 years died. However, it did move me into the number one spot.

Thats good to know. Guess I will have to try it when I get down south because the stuff I tried before had that boiled okra slime.

Greetings to my fellow DTRonians.
Humidity is rising and the clouds are building.
Humidex of 38C for the next 3-5 days.
Insulating the garage with this kind of heat netted a window ac for the rest of the job.

I can imagine you wouldn't want to go back to the 8th grade for the 3rd time.

I'd love to go back to school, but I can't afford it number one, and I don't know what I'd take up except space.

Just heard from T-Rad Rick. He's back in the hospital. It seems they didn't break up the stone quite as small as they should have so they have to do it again. All I could think of was trying to ram a .45 caliber round down a .38 caliber barrel! He has no internet at the hospital but he promised to keep me posted.

Just 'passing' info along!

Sure hope they get it done right for him.

Fascinating


We could make a dozen Total Ricks, or worse, 1 more Blakes.
