I got a little promotion at work so Ive been there a little more here lately while still doing some work out of my shop and helping to sell off the stuff at the building supply. When Im not working I certainly dont want to be tied to the computer chair dealing with e-tards on FTE (present company excluded).

You got promoted and didn't even tell us??

Check out this EB I just found on craigslist, no asking price, but its beat up, maybe I can get it on teh cheap. 460+tons+boggers+EB = WIN

Figured no one cared except 73 Ford whatever and Tinnian. They were already swinging on my nuts so they knew as soon as I did.




Promotion is a misleading word I guess. Im still a "production operator."

I was transfered to a different part of the plant where guys usually wait years to be able to work. Just a $1/hr raise but I dont work near as hard and dont get dirty. Sitting in a control room pushing buttons and watching monitors in the AC mostly. Beats the hell out of sweating like a farm animal running a 25ton overhead crane.

oddly enough i have done that job^^, and completely agree. plus i never really enjoyed moving huge *** plate steel with the suction cup setup that barely worked. always felt on edge doing it.

me hate cranes that big

Paul, find out what they want. We can get another ranger short bed body, a 460 and make you a light weight mud truck!

he could hook up a trailer to Caits bug and drag it back

I can see that little *****er trying to make the Rocky Mountain passes with 5000lbs of trailer and EB hanging off the bumper (by bumper I mean styrofoam filled plastic in the shape of a bumper)

na, 1500 maybe since it doesn't have to be a enclosed trailer. Winter time is best to ship because less people buy and sell cars and less work for truckers
