took us about a week in total, but my cousins is an 05 with a reman engine from around 07 or 08, so silly items that took us an hour to destroy off my engine, fell out of his when unbolted. there was no corrosion on any of the aluminum to steel flanges. also, since his is newer the tricky crap that sits under the turbo for my 03 is out in the open on his. the HEUI rails and standpipes are one piece with no tricky STC fittings to take apart. needless to say it was a dream compared to mine.

that pizza looks gross, but i like the idea of a challenge. perhaps several of us can go try it in teams one day

How many bales you looking for? I've got a bunch in my barn that aren't doing anything but taking up space. I know it's a long drive for hay but thought I'd offer.

I filled out my application for IBEW local 42's apprenticeship program today. Hoping that goes well...

Good luck with the lineman apprentice Pete!

Local 42 is in Manchester and handles outside high voltage. Local 90 is down by me and handles inside wiring.

Anybody have a lead on a dump trailer for sale? I'm looking for a tandem axle, with a GVWR of under 10,000 lbs. new ones aren't unreasonable, but figured there must be a used one out there somewhere.

That'll do, Miles. I have seen a 12' model, which would be better, but not necessary.
