Well, hello all.
Kinda been out of touch this week. Mother-in-law, who lives in SW Missouri, is trying to die. Wife and I took off last Saturday and drove thru a blizzard in South Dakota and Iowa. Turned a 14 hour trip into 24 hours. It's a 1025 mile trip and I was in 4-wheel drive for around 300 of it.
Once we arrived at the nursing home, it was easy to see MIL wasn't doing very good. Brother-in law, wife, and I decided to put her back in hospital to get her strength up for upcoming surgery. Just kinda hanging around now checking on her conditions and supporting the wife.
We went down to Springfield yesterday and bought a my-fi so we would have internet service. It's pretty cool. And we can use it when we go cam.... uhh, I mean, "glamping". And I can keep up with yuse guys once again.
Asking for your prayers for the MIL. Thanks guys.

Good morning Gerry!
It's not nearly that cold here...~55*. But the wind is gusting like crazy.
Good morning Andre!
I'm just the dumb azz HVAC guy taking pictures of stuff
No none of the MV stuff get powered up until the building gets to site (or I would be no where near it). They only test the 600V MCC as far as I know. But like I said, I don't know.
Yes we deal with Warwick a lot actually, you??

That pic is way above my head......looks like a scene from Star Wars.

My 88 yr old Mother sent me this,
An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects:
1. Bible
2. Silver Dollar
3. Bottle of Whisky
4. Playboy magazine
“I'll just hide behind the door”, the old preacher said to himself. "When he comes home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up."
"If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be !”
"If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man, and that would be okay, too.”
"But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be.”
"And worst of all if he picks up that magazine he's going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer."
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-steps as he entered the house whistling and heading for his room. The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.
Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired the magazine's centrefold.
"Lord have mercy”, the old preacher disgustedly whispered, "He's going into politics!!"

Thanks, Darren. BTW, the bumper/winch look cool.
Thanks for the reminder!
