That's true for me.....and in my case.... cost nothing. All paid by other guys Insurance Company.
My body man even got the hail dents out of my hood before repainting!
No idea how.... but it's a whole new site picture! Smooth hood and no bull bar sticking up in front of the grill.
Loving it.

Very nice job Wayne. Don't get dangerous to others, like those "texters".

When I posted above, it was what I had been told by guy in Shipping.
I just made a local delivery and went by Choctaw Truckstop to check it out.
As of 10 min ago.... both gas and diesel were at $3.65 cash!

Max, You need to come to next GTG, and take a drum or two of diesel back with you.
Saving over $.40 a gal would be well worth it!

Excellent! Sounds like you found a home!
Future of wind generated power still looking strong? (Just curious from an industry insiders point of view).

Stopped by Lazarsmith's last week.... looked like a CTD parking lot! .
Glad that moving to the middle of nowhere has not hurt business.
Six or seven trucks lined up and waiting for Mike's magic..... from as far away as Montana, I think.

Fade 94 - Just noticed from pic above.... your 03 is as5 speed?? Did not realize 3rd Gens had 5 speeds. Was 03 the last yr? IS it still 3.55 or newer 3.73 gears? Can't imagine 3.73's on a 5 speed, unless Dodge changed the 5th gear ratio?

My new job title is "Erection Supervisor"

I will handle the contractors during erection and make sure they do the job correctly.

Yes, Wind turbines are still selling. We have three projects starting soon, I will ship off to Iowa, Idaho or Pennsylvania next. I am hoping for IA.

also, my 03 is a 5spd. I think only SO California emissions trucks had the 5spd?

I guess I should have stated projects are not booming like they were pre 2008 but it is starting to come back slowly. We have a new turbine coming out N117 which is a lower wind class turbine with a rotor diameter of 117 meters (383 feet). We can cater to all markets and hopefully get some turbines up near Fort Worth!

I fly to Tejas tomorrow for a few days off, I keep hearing of tornado sirens going off in the DFW area. I hope all is well with everyone.
