Well that should brighten your day up!

 

My day IS looking up! I got payed off on 3 jobs last week, and I have the cash in-pocket for it. Just hope it's what I'm looking for. I told a couple farmers that I might be getting one, and they said they have work waiting for me. I should pay it off in less than 15 hours work on it!

 

Have a great day guys! Heading to the shop and try and get something done.........

 

Hope it's one you can use, too big for my shop but even at her asking price it's half what her husband payed for it.
Remember, It's just the machine w/o tooling.

 

Good Afternoon (if you can call a "Monday" following a long weekend "Good"

Was crappy and rainy here in ILLINOIS all weekend.

-The Great

 

I'll buy the tooling I'll need! I'm just glad I've got a big enough shop to put it in, and the 3 phase to run it with...... Still no pics from Carl yet.

Everything go OK at the bone crunchers today?

 

Evening Oregon, Thought that I would check in still alive and kicking.
Now to go baby sit a bunch of adults ( I hate it when people whine and snivel about small stuff and don't want to get along over something dumb).

 

Evening Chris! Meetings suck..................lol

 

Don copy my PM?

 

Yep. going to send the info in a little bit. Kevin still hasn't got back to me yet........

 

That's just ancient history for many folks, Don...........You want the attention of the current crop?, tell them your giving away free stuff.

I have actually heard some people insinuate that if you served in the military during peace time, it's because you were too lazy to go to college or get a real job.

 

PM back at ya!

 

I know Dave. But it still gripes my butt.........

 

Both my parents served in the Army Air Corps, my brother served, my daughter is a retired SWA vet and I put in 34 years. I'm here to tell those folks that the military is a real job.

 

Good evening everyone. What a day, I'm pooped again. Got "tricked" into going to my mother-in-laws. Had to fix her TV, reconnect her Satellite Dish, teach her how to run the thing again and write the instructions down for the whole setup for the 4th or 5th time. Since it has now been several hours since I wrote the instructions, I suspect she has by now forgotten what they were for and thrown them away. After that, I got to fix her computer, get her DSL reconnected, download 30 updates after which I had to get her Vonage router back operational so that she had her telephone back to a working state, which in turn led to a problem with her Life Alert service, all of which is now back in the totally normal and confused, but operational, state of being.

After this, I had to take my wife and MIL to three different cemeteries.

While taking care of business and changing flowers at my granddaughters grave site, I "unretired" for 45 minutes and went back to being a cop and EMT again.

A UPS semi with a 40' box WB on Hwy 99W at 50 to 55 MPH, met up with a small green van that had been SB on Hwy 47 and failed to yield. I didn't actually see the impact but I heard the sound that I have heard too many times before and then saw the smoke and the flying parts.

Jumped over the bank, called 911 and tended to the injured until all of the troops could get on scene. I had to reach and twist around what I think used to be a door and door post and through a hole where a windshield used to be to get to the most seriously injured victim. I guess one of the first fireman/EMT's to arrive got a little excited because my shirt had pulled up far enough to expose the Glock I had on. Once we got that straightened out, and I relayed the vitals I had taken, he and his buddies took over.

I can safely say that side air bags definitely saved the day for several very, very lucky people in a small van.

I then slipped out the "back way" in the ensuing confusion, and went back to the cemetery where I had a heck of a time trying to climb back up the 12' vertical bank that I now wonder how in the heck I got down without breaking my neck. Back in the cemetery I used the water spigot there to clean the blood and the mud off.

However, my wife was prompt to chew me a "new one" because I had taken off at a dead run while talking on the cell phone and jumped off of "that cliff" (which I think she had the biggest problem with) and because I was retired, didn't have my go bag, including gloves etc., etc., etc.. But, now that she has calmed down, I'm a hero so it may be a better night!

And.............how did your day go?
