Check CL for a used skid or someone parting a sled.

It cost me $520 bucks for the slot I am gonna get. I only get four months with weekends off. But like Des said "at least you will get to see your family". How can you put a price on that.

I am getting my schedule together so I will have exact days off soon. Then we can plan some crazy a$$ adventures. They are gonna have to be longer excursions with so few weekends off.

It was just a cab sitting on a frame and there was a motor and trans sitting where the box was suppose to be. Weird thing is there was no front axle on the frame as I had it cut off to sub in a front clip from a car. So they had to work at it to get that thing out of there. Kind of sad for me that was my first vehicle I had ever bought when I was 15. I am looking for the title right now to get the vin so I can report it stolen to the Sheriff's dept.
Dude ... I hope they do find the bastiches that did this. They must have known exactly what was there if they had to work that hard at it. That doesn't seem like a coincidence.

Evening everyone!!

The plotting went well. We'll see what gets broken after the students leave. Documenting a new / re-launched service for work. We launched an internal website for people to collaborate easier about 3-4 years ago. HORRIBLE implmentation and the server environment is all fubar. It works, but it gives us ALOT of grief when we want to change something. We're taking the time to redesign and relaunch the service so that we don't have the same failures as before. I've written more documentation in the last two days for one service than I've written for all of the stuff I've worked on in the past. My biggest benefit for work is also my biggest downfall. I document everything in my head. Katie accuses me of being able to remember facts numbers and things about work forever, but can't remember to pick up a gallon of milk on my way home.

Had a good night watching "The Smurfs" with the kids. Funny movie actually.

Time to hit the sack soon. My eyelids are getting pretty heavy.

'Night all!

Why would you guys want to pull the studs out? My project is to put studs in!

I tried to call troy and Beth and play a live version of this for them but I don't think they answered...

Pulling the studs on the wife's sled, to make it easier for her to ride. It pushes the front pretty bad in low speed corners, and I don't want to put 8" carbides on it to counteract that. She already complains about it bring too hard to ride


Happy Birthday Jay!!!

Good morning Troy, Mike, Gerry.

I wondered if it would sound like anything Troy but at least I tried. They were a really good band except they played that and Sugarlands "Stuck on you". Haha I believe the bands name is 2 Mile Final. We were in Rockford. I should have called Lee to come over.

Thanks Mike. It's actually not until Monday but that is what the wives planned.
