Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don, Gerry, Chris, Jim and Rob.

I'm getting a late start this morning... at least posting up on FTE.

I just about got into a pissing match with the office bi$natch this morning. I really hate it when someone asks you do do your job then proceeds to tell you how it should be done, what to say and how to say it. I politely told her that she could incorporate my comments into her response to the vendor if she wanted to dictate what was said. Then she went off the rails about 10 things that don't pertain to anything that I'm doing or care about. I told her that she was making a mountain our of a mole hill and wasting my time. Then walked. She went whimpering into my supervisors office... so I'm sure I'll get scolded later on. We'll see.

OK, enough venting. Hope everyone has a great day.

Don, where's Harleys introductory post and request to be an Oregon FTE member?

It got so a team of two of us could completely R&R a clutch and pressure plate and have it out the door in under a half hour on those Gen-1 Econolines.

All of 144 cu.in didn't take them anywhere real quick, and added overhead-oiling was an absolute must, but they were cute to drive. They were what you saw when you looked in the dictionary under "econobox".

USAF had gillions of 'em in the mid-60's.

School buses took longer......

That's a nice-looking resto!
