I went to Sarcoxie Friday evening, then sat morning we moved a giant (12x25 or maybe bigger?) storage bldg. Dragged it with a big John Deere 2 blocks after we put a single steer wheel under the front porch. The runners were smoking!

Today helped the son inlaw with the x bro inlaws a/c A coil pull and clean and service. Tomorrow back at it, and I get blues new starter.....


Jeff nice new digs, lots of "open the door room". And lots of room on each side to put a lean too...

Good morning all. My week off wasn't as productive as I'd hoped, a customer ended up talking me into working on his vehicle and it ruined my week. Metalflake, no matter what the Rat Fink's son tells you, has to be sprayed in intercoat and with light loads of flake per coat, not a full four ounces per quart of high solids clear. Now the car is solid black and shiny, I told the guy if he wants flake, he can let me do it as I want or take it elsewhere. At least I fixed the A/C in the Dangitdontgo.


Dave, I hope you were wearing boots and britches, not shorts and tennis shoes while welding. Get a rag soaked in the hottest water you can stand and lay it over those stings, it ought to quell the itch.

I had an old pair of jeans pulled on long enough to get it welded it up. As soon as it was good to go, I changed right back out of them.

Not much happening here - just another bonkers Monday at work. I'm waiting for a new pair of blades to arrive for the mower before I attack any more of the yard again. The ones on there are pretty dull and have been pushing the grass over rather than cutting through it. Granted, the yard looks better than it has in a while, but there's a long way left to go.

Evening All!

I was at the shop at 0500 this morning and with the nice weather, stayed until after 1600. The owner of High Roller came down and started wiring the truck. I got the doors ready for a coat of primer, the last fender flair fit, a bunch of holes welded up on the bedrails, and a BUNCH of mud work done. We're moving right along now!

RC, where do you normally buy your weatherstrip from? I need a set for High Roller.
