So I am slacking, I am busy, I have a number of other excuses. Lol But here it is, March's chat and BS thread.

 

We'll give you a pass, Rich. It was a short month. I think it snuck up on a lot of us. I know it did, me.

Pieces for two more bumpers are cut, deburred and braked. Now to throw the pieces in the jig and make the pieces into bumpers.

 

I hear ya on being busy busy, between covid for us both (recovered now), telework. Life, ice & snow, grandkids, trucks needing repair. I have a trip to Huntsville Alabama for work coming up. And all sorts of other things going on I straight up forgot.

 

Alan, Just realized you said you might have to fly out to California and paint a couple of monsters. How are you gonna fly? I thought you were anti mask.

 

Being anti mask and entering pretty much any and all airports, let alone trying to get on a plane.....be ready to wear a mask the whole time IN the airport and ON the plane.

 

I'll suck it up for enough money. I don't plan on leaving the shop the whole time I'm out there. I don't picture me and most Californians getting along. He has a bunk room with a shower in the shop. I told him I need a bed, a shower and a coffee every day. Other than that, I'm easy to get along with. I got one of the bumpers welded together. I'll finish it up tomorrow morning and knock out the other one after that. That completes the orders I have right now, but I have enough material to build 5 or 6 more.

 

I wear a mask pretty much anytime I'm out due to Mom living with me so I don't notice wearing a mask on the planes. I hear ya on money makes folks do things they wouldn't normally do. It's not like your doing anything morally wrong.

 

I had to report back to prison today. We got a new warden and he wanted our department
back at corporate. After two years from working at home I'm not happy to say the least.

 

Evening Everyone!

I got both bumpers ready to ship today. I'm gonna pack up some carb tuning bits and pieces and head north tomorrow morning to see if we can get Rich's fleet dependable again.

 

Sounds good Alan, see ya when you get here.

 

Good Morning Everybody!

Rich. I'll get there as quick as I can. We had an emergency last night and we didn't get to bed until 12:30. everyone is moving a little slow this morning. I'm used to no sleep, but the daughter? ...not so much. I'll give you a call when I'm heading north.

 

Back from the Dr. Had to knock me out and scrape my esophagus. Now it's liquids for a day, pudding, jello, applesauce for a couple of days then I can start trying regular food. It sucks but it is what it is. Oh yeah no work today because of the anesthesia. Good thing it's cooler today. Guess I can work on Taxes.

 

sang i missed that ya;ll would be working at rich's today.. i wanted to get up there also, oh well there will be other days..

not much new going on around here. talked with the nurse from the radiation doctor's office this morning.. i will be back up in st louie next tuesday so he can do a biopsy and map out my liver.. then back on the 18th for the actual radiation insertion.. sounds like its going to be a lot of fun alright.

well ya'll get out and enjoy this great weather..... and behave yourselves

 

Evening Everyone!

I'm back from Rich's place. We got some stuff done. Not everything we wanted to, but we were running out of daylight. I may head back up in a couple weeks and get everything finalized. Tomorrow is monster truck prep day. Charge batteries, air up tires, check fluids, etc. Having a display for the first event of the year is a good way to check everything without the stress of actually performing. Sort of like a dry run to what needs attention.

 

Evening folks, Alan thanks again for the company and the helping hand and knowledge on the ol Ford trucks and Bronco's.
