A belated good morning Oregon and everyone oneverywhere else. Good afternoon to all those east of morning.

MIL problems so wasn't able to stay around earlier.............I think we have gotten my youngest son convinced to move in with her. Says he will get right on it since he has been layed off and is staying with his brother at the moment. It will solve one really big problem we have right now.

What loiter? It was only 8:30...............................

Don had a good day today. Got the new 7.3 installed in Harleys F350. Got more paneling installed in my new shop office. And FINALLY figured out what was wrong with the gen-set in the damn motorhome! Not to happy with the fix though. The first page in the Onan manual says..............."Most operations in this manual will require removing the unit from the motorhome"

Yep, I have to pull the damn thing out........Please, just give me 5 min with the engineers that designed this thing...

It weighs a ton too..........trust me.
Reminds me, I need to go visit my motorhome.......Got it stashed at a friends place, no room here on the drive way.
Been thinking about bringing in a new road up to the house so I could keep MORE rigs on the property, but this would require removing a couple 150ft doug firs, and making a neighbors place across the river visible..........Which went over like ***** at NAACP meeting, with the wife.
So the motorhome is still exiled.............I need a new camper for the F-250.......THAT I have room for!

They are designed to be assembled, not repaired Don. It's the story of my working life.

I have a set of forks that fit on the backhoe after taking the bucket off the front. Takes about ten min to change. Makes things a lot easier. Used it today to install the 7.3 in Harleys truck.

Been checking in here quite a bit but just reading;
Had a stroke last fall, kind of knocked my package in the dirt. I'm good now, still a little shakey but getting back out in the shop.

Sorry Don....

It was a swim meet weekend. That means up early and off to the pool all day. We went down to my inlaws and picked up their old F250. It's going to get some work and then it will be daughter's ride.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don and Gerry.

Another day at the salt mines for me.

The old F150 made it to Seattle and back last night and since I didn't get any frantic phone calls I presume all went well.

I'll have to check things out tonight when I get home from work.

Any of you folks in Central Oregon know if there is still snow at China Hat?
