Good afternoon all! Hope all is well with everyone.

 

Evening All!

I had a busy day today, but I still didn't get everything done that I wanted to. As I said, the '48 F-1 is back in the shop. I got the last of Jerry's stuff returned to the car lot and dropped off my key. I stopped by O'Reily and dropped off the info to start up Performance Inc's commercial account. While I was there, I got a job building a small light bar for some off road lights in one of the salesman's Chevy truck grill. He didn't want to drill mounting holes in his bumper, so I made a light bar that bolts to bumper mounting holes and has a cross bar to mount all the lights. (cat eye type lights) Then I got our $20 yard sale lawn mower running. It cost me $2 and and an hour and a half of fabrication.

The kill switch lever and cable were broken on the lawn mower when we got it. SO, ...I made a new mechanism for it.

When you want to run it, you pull the lever over and swing the catch into place like this.



Then when you want to shut it off, simply flip the catch straight up like this.



The $250 push mower I got from Race Brothers lasted one season before the crank shaft bent and broke the block. They were going to charge me $25 to look at it and tell me it wasn't covered under warranty. For $22, I got a lawnmower that works great.

 

good deal on the mower alan..
rich have safe trip home, will talk when ya get back..
jeff how long till ya get through training and get to earning..

 

RC, training will start a week from today, and it will go 17 days. That will have me trained to their specs. Not sure if that is 17 days in a row or if the are excluding weekends or what. Not sure.
Then I have to tour each facility and then I can work for the big $. Hopefully anyway. I've never been hired while a background is still going on. Makes me nervous. 90 day probation.

 

that sounds about normal jeff.. hurry up and wait..

good morning missouri ..i guess i will get some work done this week maybe!!

 

Good morning everybody.

 

good morning chip....
alan if you get on here before heading to the shop give me a call.. i dont really have my day planned but i know i cant get up your way till i have my truck off loaded ..and i am moving slow..

 

WELL GOOD MORNING THERE BOYS, from my kitchen table in the good ol state of Missouri.

Ended up being a 1 taxi, 4 airplane ride, and another hr drive to the house (thank you Penny ) Ended being a 27 1/2 hr trip from hell, but none the less I am home.

I have to get over the jet lag quick, cause I have to take the grandson back home later on this evening. But not after his bronco ride some time today.

Sounds like all is well on the FTE Mo chapter home front.

 

Good Morning Everybody!

RC. I'll be at the shop today pretty much all day except for lunch. Take your time unloading. There's no rush.

Rich. Woo Hoo! Glad you made it home safe. Since my schedule just got a whole lot more flexible, let me know when and where you need me.

Jeff. That's great news. I hope everything goes smoothly from here.

Chip. Good morning to you, too!

I'm already tapering off my anti-death pills for my colitis. It's amazing how fast I get better not having to deal certain people.

 

WELCOME HOME RICH!!!!!!!!
glad all went well for ya, we will need a missouri fte gtg as soon as you are able..

alan never tell me "no hurry" because i can move real slow when i try.. ha ha ha

 

Ok, then. Get your butt up here, it's really important!

A Mo chapter G2G sounds good to me and I realy like the ides of the 18th of Oct at Seymour Mo at the SMORR (Southern Missouri Offroad Ranch.)
