My buddy Mikey is here for the next few days taking his 65 apart. Need to get going on the new paint job, and I've got a couple customers rigs to finish up. I've got a meeting with the LLC to discuss the upcoming house remodel and finalize the plans and order the materials. Lot's to do........

I'm hoping to get that 79 cut apart this weekend, got the dash cleaned up, ready to cut out. I'll get the front axle out of it after that, hopefully on Sunday.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don, Gerry, Pat, Allen and Jim.

I was forced to do two things I hate to do yesterday... Go shopping at the mall and stay up late.

So I slept in this morning to make up for it.

Lots going on today... My daughters graduation ceremony is tonight.

Yard work needs to be done. House work to help with and I'm sure a laundry list of "Honey Do's" that need to be "discussed".

Careful with those discussions. You could end up spending more time in the camper this summer than you had originally planned!

Much as I would LOVE to have the Mills, it's the tooling I'm going to miss the most. Timing is just not very good.......
I can bring it to the house here Don. Maybe your summer will break loose later.

Good evening Oregon. Nice day today.

Replaced the coil pack (#5 blown big time), spark plugs and wires on the Merc Sable. The miss doesn't miss anymore. Wife is happy for now.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

I'm up early to pick up my daughter from her all night grad party.

It looks to be another beautiful day.

I would love to say yes Charlie, but alas, probably not going to happen.....

I'm just starting my busiest time of the year. Loggers and farmers count on me from about now till the snow flies.......

I'll keep looking for a mill a little closer to home. I would be happy if you save me some of the R-8 tooling! Maybe I can find the cash to buy some of your tooling, and have it shipped out here.

Harley and I were realy looking forward to a road trip to meet some FTE members across the country, but just don't have the time to do it. Real bummer because I could help some members with some clean sheetmetal.

I've got a sweet, very clean rust free 1967 F-250 that I know would sell back in the midwest, and bunches of fenders, doors, hoods, and pickup boxes that would help others also. Just too late in the year to get everything going........



Morning everybody. Looks like we'll have Mikeys cab mounted to my gimbal today, and can finally start the painting process!
