We're having a party for the maintenance dept. on Tuesday, at a bar in town. Well, I'm gonna sneak out a little early tonight. I'll catch up with guys tomorrow, if you're around. If not, have a great weekend!

Yeah, it was a little odd. It was on "good" terms because of no work to keep me - as much as a situation like that can be anyhow - so I guess they thought it was the right thing to do. I politely declined, saying I had plans for the day already and stuff.

I am sure that is why they did what they had to and it was nice of them to invite you.

Yeah, I appreciated the invite, but by the same sense it was a bit awkward.

That was nice of them Bill but I can understand where you're coming from too.

Depends on what your looking for. pretty long drive, and kinda pricy, but they do have a lot of stuff


Crazy Rays is the bomb around here now, they have a bunch of yards, and parts are cheap. They don't keep an inventory tho, you just show up, and pick a part.
I think they charge $1 to get in the door, comes off the top of your purchase price. I usually drag a wagon with me when I go, and carry my tools in a back pack


Old stuff I still get from Elwoods auto exchange ( used to be Elwood Grimm's ) up in Hagerstown. Not too far from you really, kinda more Smithsburg/ Cavetown area

Ok, thank you. I'll look these places up. I'm looking for a drivers seat for the 04 and a couple of other parts. It looks like its was chewed on at a couple of places.

Good morning and happy Saturday folks!

Time to get into high gear and getting ready to head to the shop. Busy morning of repairs before I can get to my truck to make some repairs needed. At least we will be inside working in the warm!

Have a great one and enjoy. Stay safe...

Morning Bill. Another hour-and-a-half of boredom, before I can escape.
