Morniong all. Got lots of work done on the ramcharger the last few days, Its amazing how much work you can get done when work doesn't get in the way. Got the radiator and intercooler installed in the gasser core support. stuck in a steering column. Need to tackle the wiring harnesses soon. Then get the dash in. After that, some seats and fenders, and I will be enjoying the wide open spaces in my cummins ramcharger with no lid on it. Maybe the janitor wants to come over and let his hair whip around in the wind.

Speaking of janitor, to answer your question about my schoolin'. I am working on my masters of education. I am going to Corban College here in Salem. The current class is Biblical Worldveiw and Ethics. The paper I should be writing now is about my Christian philosophy of education. It's not due til the 4th, but as dtr's other college boy says,

 

Went to the scrap yard too... got 30 bucks for some garbage laying around...

Bruce, is that 30 or 20?
No worries... has anyone seen the furball?

Better not mess with Top... I have to keep him happy so he does not reach through the computer and strangle totallyround...

JWBM is taking a break, I think.

Ordered my turbo today. It'll be here next week.

Bout to go to work in a bit for a few...

 

MadDog,
If my figuring is right, it will be 40 (FOURTY) years, 3 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days. I will reach my MRD (Mandatory Retirement Date) on 8 Jan 09. 23 Sep 1968 - 31 May 1977 Active Duty Navy. 1 June 1977 - 8 Jan 2009 full time Arkansas Army National Guard.
Top and I go all the way back to Noah's Ark together. He handled all the pier side security and I had all the deck apes and gun bunnies.

oh, hello all

 

Yes, what ARE you doin' in my room? You're lucky... most people that dare to venture in there never find their way back to daylight!
Nice. Reeeeal nice. No, YOU won't. You never mentioned anyone else that might tho! (You want me to take your word for it? I'm still waitin' for a phone call)Jus' cuz ya don't SEE me don't mean I ain't here... W A T C H I N'!See the above... I'm here! How'd you survive the ph00? Nope. It's this stoopid stuff called WORK!Cool, thanks for the explanation. Y'know, a good strong cuppa coffee would make the studyin' an' paper writin' go a whole lot smoother!I assume you're speakin' of me? I'm here... I'm ALWAYS here.

Been tryin' to write/post this post for the last hour. We've been gettin' heavy thunder/lightnin'/rain/wind/hail since 4PM. Ev'rytime I hit the 'post' button we either lose power, the internet or BOTH! We've had almost 3" of rain since 4 with more expected all thru tonite. Temperature dropped from 84* to 62 in less than 15 minutes a little while ago too. Kinda wild but we haven't lost power permanently. YET!

Got the truck back from the spring shop this afternoon. Had lighter springs put in it and now it rides like a truck instead of a buckboard. Whole new spring packs in the rear with new pins, bushin's and U-joints; $500 installed! I thought that was a pretty good deal.

Ev'rything's all set up for mornin'. Turn it on if'n I ain't here.

chaikwa.

 

Long day. Tired. Gonna eat dinner and read a book. Then head to bed.

 

Hey, good to see you, Scotty! You're my favorite sasquatch!

Hey, Josh... it ain't that late. When you going to OCS? Better hope it's not in 2010... I'm plannin on going up there as an instructor...


Evenin, breakroom. Had a GREAT evenin. Got 2 things on my truck fixed, got my turbo ordered, got the dent fixed on the ol's truck, got here exhaust on, ate some great chow, and topped it off with some homeade funnel cake and some phonecalls to my family. Can't get any better than this...

Oh, yeah... lots and lots of BEER!!!
