Evening my fine Ford 6.7 loving folks!
Just spent the past couple of hours working on a clogged drain and water in the basement....UGH.
Knee's killing me and it looks like I'm going to have to bust out some concrete to replace some old PVC if I can't get this thing opened up. What a day.
On the plus side, the docs have said I can drive again so I got to get out to pick the kiddies up from school and cruise around for a bit in my 6.7.
Savage, congrats on the boys' football win! Ours weren't so lucky. My boy had a couple of strong 15-35 yard runs but they were only able to capitalize on one of them. And, he did manage one sack and a couple of other tackles. We can't get these kids to block......more work ahead I guess.
Oh yeah, Darren......thanks for the PM from the golf tourney.....made my week.

It's a shame we're spread so far apart because it would be outstanding to have a "Well........it happened" / "This is prolly a 1 page thread at most" G2G some time. Especially during the next month while I'm still off from work.

There is a guy that fly's R/C jets in my neighborhood. He has a small trailer and countless prop planes that sit. It's all about the fighter jet now. He loves it. I bet he has $25k into this hobby.
I used to race 2wd electric buggies and stadium trucks. Got bored. Bought a 4wd nitro truck. Loved nitro. Raced nitro 4wd touring cars and monster trucks. R/C is a really good time. I still have all my vehicles, but no time to race anymore.
Good morning all! Have a great day...

Awesome Roy, I can't wait to do some mods to my truck. I have been making a list of the mods that I have seen in here and while I'm in Afghanistan (head there right before Christmas) I will order all of the stuff I want and have it waiting at home for me when I get back.
I'm headed to Fort Davis, TX today (180 miles one way) to visit some friends at their ranch.....may even do some rafting.
I hope that you all have a great Labor Day weekend!!!!!
P.S. Roy I see that your post was at 2am this morning, I sure pray that you can get some sleep.
Take care and be safe.

Hey jet pilot. There's a super duty and a trailer in a nice wrap outside my hotel.

Says a lot of stuff about being a mobile dealer support team. Not airplanes but they seem to do similar to what you are going to do.

No prob John.
Been a real rough week, not enough well it happened time
OH WELL, its almost over. I think I am gonna pound thru 4 - 5 hours of work and get the heck out of here for the LONG WEEKEND!!!!!
A GTG would be WAY TO MUCH FUN but I am pretty from ALL of you. I could fly in and rent a super duty. The flight and rental is no big deal, it's the 20k + in mods thats gonna hurt LOL.
Have a good long weekend everyone!!
AT least I sold 4 little air conditioners this week

@Roy Nice job on the steering stabilizer. It looks very nice. I'm sure you will like the feedback in the wheel.
@Randy I keep forgetting you are apart from your ride. Man that has to be tough. It will make you appreciate it that much more when you get home. Thanks for your service and enjoy that R&R!
@Joel You likely home tonight? I hope so...It's been a long week for you and your dad. Time to see the family and enjoy a long weekend.
@Darren You kind of sound like my customers. They will say the have to put a RTU on the roof of one of our buildings and they send me a spec sheet like that...lol. Sure, no big deal...your frame weights just doubled! Nice job moving the units!
Have a great day everyone!!!

LOL, up here the snow loads are so huge throwing an extra 30,000 lb on the roof is not that big of a deal
Most of our crap sits on piles beside the building anyway.
We do mostly modules built in Edmonton then shipped up north, like the one below.
Funny story, we had a module about 20' wide x 75' long. It was about 15' high tho and had a roof platform on top with a couple of big units on it. I was there when it loaded, my customer (the module supplier) was talking to the trucker and telling him the load was very top heavy. The guy says not my first rodeo. Anyway, the whole building ended up in the ditch at the last turn before fort mac. Got a PO to do the exact same thing again the next day LOL
