Hey everyone !!
I am getting settled into my camp, room and job. It's not too bad but not like home. Not sure if we can get together while I am home on leave, we are buying a new house in North Georgia and I am moving the family while I am home. Everything is good here, quiet but that could change any moment. It finally rained for the first time in about 6 months and we had an earthquake !! Finally getting cooler so that is a welcome change. I am so ready to smell some grass and pine trees.

Everyone take care !!

Hey everyone,
A quiet week so far, that's great since Patriots Day is tomorrow. Getting excited about coming home soon!! Just a short visit but it's better than nothing. I can't wait to see my wife and daughter, it's been almost 10 months. Going to have to trailer the truck to the new homestead since It's too far to drive it right now. Hope everyone is doing great!!!

IT"S FRIDAY!!!
Doesn't mean much here other than another week closer to home. Dust storm kicked up tonight, just awesome...not. We had the memorial service today for the 3 guys that got killed the other day by the IED in Kabul. Sad day. Hope everyone is going to have a great weekend.

Welcome Dead Cylon, I approved you request to join !!

Welcome Dead Cylon!! Another busy/wild week at the shop. I had some time on my hands yesterday, so I finally ran the duals on my 96 Bronco. Will post pics when I can get them uploaded to photobucket.

That exhaust looks great, I can't wait to start working on mine. I am going to flat bed it up to the new house where it can wait till I get back. I have to remember to make of list of stuff to order before I get home.

The only real thing left to do on the 96 is to get her painted. I just haven't found anyone down here I trust enough to do the work. My son & I have done some minor/small rust repair, but he's not that good at spraying yet.

Mine will need paint too but I am along way from getting to that step. She is going to be pretty much a redo from top to bottom. The engine and trans are great, just everything else needs some attention.

Hmmm, can I post?

EDIT:
Looks like I can. I've been on FTE for years but never even looked here. I'm up North of Atlanta near Lake Lanier area.
Looking for some cheap, rusted crappy looking, dual rims for my 2011 F350. I "think" they have to be 18" or 20" but not sure. All I need them for is pulling sleds so I'll sand them down and paint them black or chrome-in-a-can. It's my daily driver so I'll carry the duals and a jack to the pulls and change them out.

Hope everyone's day has gone better than mine did yesterday. Went to help the wife at her job. We close the store for the day, she goes to get in her van and this is what we find. I took these this morning before heading to the shop.

Man that really sucks. And of course no one claimed it, they just left. Karma will get them in the end.
