Holiday for me, gotta love working for the govenment .... Gotta go get the snogo out and fixed up. The wife is out getting $480.00 worth of someone elses hair weaved/glued into hers ...... Maybe do some more rock work ni the room after the snogo is up and running, other than that I will be here causing trouble.

 

Glad to see all you fellas are still getting along. I have been out of the loop for a bit and missing my daily read. I am in Viginia and broke down. My truck ran smooth for my vacation and was splendid with the 5ver. I got on the road for Virginia from Texas and ran into murphy again. My number 3 fuel injection line snapped at the ferrel fitiing and spit diesel all over. Spent the next 3 nights in a truck stop parking lot waiting on parts. Cummins was half the price of Dodge at 65$ for the line and got it a dat faster. Finished trip and checked into my new command a half a day behind schedule but they didn't seem to mind. I was going into work a couple of days later and my spindle nut backed off. Wheel hub assembly with new bearings on order now and should have them in tomorrow. I just replaced them not to long ago but didn't replace the 1 time use only spindle nut. An 11$ part bit me in the butt this time, oh well! I pressed the bearings out and tried to get a replacement but it seems that TIMKEN is back ordered for 16 weeks on them. I am going to spend the 160 $ on a new bearing
from TIMKEN but will get the entire assembly from Dodge for 234$ to get me back on the road. Can't stand my 5 wheel vehicle any longer...hahaha! My trailer was flawless until we got to Virginia but then froze solid and we had to get water from the restroom for a day or so. Looking for a trailer skirt and some under belly ideas. I have 2 coolers and an old sleeping bag blocking the wind and a work light adding some heat for now. Haven't froze up since the jerry rig was put into place. Work is great, trailer is getting smaller by the day and we are praying for some fishing weather. Hope ya'll have a greta week and that I can get back on the net more regular now that I am settled. Anyone in the Virginia beach area that would like to show a new guy the ropes can PM me and I'll get back to yuh as soon as I can.

ShortRound,
Stop by for a beer tonight before you leave the great state of Texas for Arkansas

Tim

 

Well,
Working another all nighter!

I see that Top drank all the coffee again! and Shovelhead left all the old pizza boxes in the hallway.

I hate all nighters!

Rich

 

I'm here too Rich,,,,,,, ,,,,, at least till 1600,,,,,
And I ain't pickin up those pizza boxes,,,,,,,,,, second thought,,,,, lets put them all in Jack's office and leave a disgruntled note concerning the lousy pay signed by Shovelhead and DD4x4! We can dump some used Rotella in Top's coffee pot cause he normally drinks anything in the pot that can be heated up in the microwave. He won't know the difference since the meds he's been taking after he had the surgery make him goofier than normal. Top =

 

Mornin folks, everyone ready for another balmy day in the Northeast?
Think i'll stay in the garage today and do a valve adjustment on the truck.
Coffee is on, standing by.
Rich

 

Hey James,
Glad to see ya made it,,,,,, just wish you would have had a better time of it.
We have a couple of folks down around that area that are members of the VADTR chapter #7. Timinva ,,,,,, 46mech are in VA Beach and butchera is in Suffolk with a few others ,,,,, and Dieseldude4x4 and I are just down the road a piece. Hopefully, we can get together soon!


Dennis

 

Make sure ya warm up that throwin arm while you're out in the garage Richard,,,,,,,
"TRASH CANS AWAY @ 06:00"

 

I dont think Top would even notice the difference. Then again, considering the coffee we get around here, Im not sure there is a difference!

Hey, how did Phox end up with the corner office?


Rich

 

Howdy folks,
Popping Tums after all that pizza last night.
(Guess you didn't find the empty "Adult refreshment bottles" I hid in the ceiling tiles)
Coffee's hot, office cold.
I'm gonna start leaving the space heater on in the evenings 'til the weather warms up.

All the "Worker Bees" should be back after the holiday vacation.

Waiting to see what kind of emergency (lack of proper planning) jobs they'll come up with today.

Be safe- stay warm.

 

We always give that office to the "new guy" because it leaks every time it rains and every time someone uses the "Executive Lounge" upstairs also!

Eewww-eee

 

Rich

 

good morning...temp dropped some last night...25 on the way in this morning.

 

Here....Present.....Accounted For.... something like that.

At least I think I'm here. Physically anyway - We're never sure about the mental part.

Not sure about anyone else but I've about had it with this cold weather. Come on spring.........

All have a good Monday...Er...Tuesday (what ever...)



Wanders off in search of coffee......

 

Throwin arm warmed up, trashcans ready.
Too late now though to be effective.
Guess i'll just have more coffee.
Rich

Dennis, have to watch how many times I throw 'em.
Don't want to get in trouble with SR when he gets back.
You know i'll get the abuse of power speech if I get out of hand.
