Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Gerry and Pat.

Yesterday was a 7 out of 10. I got to relax a whole bunch. Took a nap in my leather recliner while "watching tv" and went out for a surprisingly good Chinese Food dinner at a restaurant thet we found using yelp in Salem. The down side to yesterday was that I ended up helping pick up a few things from the grad. party on Saturday. The worst part was having do drive all the way to Eugene and back just to pick up a car for my son to borrow.

Oh we'll. back at the salt mines in about half an hour. I don't have much planned for this week... that I know about.

Morning Tiny! Spent most of yesterday building a dolly for my gas grill to sit on, the damn casters broke off of it, so I welded up a dolly out of L channel, and put new casters on it.

Morning Pat. I worked all weekend, as always..........lol

Harley and I did some salvage work in the old Mess Hall. We wound up with 11 more 8' floresent light fixtures for my shop, and tore apart some wood siding to repair a couple garage roofs. Today we start sanding the "mud" we put on last week in the paint booth, and we'll lift the new blower assy on to the roof...

So much for a relaxing Father's day, huh? LOL! Cut the cowl out of that 79 this weekend. Just need to get the front axle out, and then that thing is off to scrap. Looking forward to next week. I'm off the whole week, going to do nothing but work on the 67 cab!

Today Melody and I get to fill out the paperwork for two evictions. Not gonna take any more excuses. Time to throw the bums out, and get somebody in that can pay the rent. These two are NOT going to be happy. There are NO homes for rent around here at all, so I've got no idea where they'll go, but I dont care. I get to be the "bad" guy, again..........

Yeah, you can only put up with so much of that crap. Sucks to have to deal with it, I'm sure.

Not a "fun" part of the job, but one I signed on for. After 4 months we finally have this business back in the black, and the LLC is very happy they hired us. One of the families we are going to evict will bring happiness to everybody up here. The two boys in that family are real brats, and we will throw a "block" party when they are gone! Their mom is in jail (again...) for stealing booze from the local liquor store. Twice in two days!

Morning Gerry. Ya, it's time for them to go. I've got a waiting list of 6 familys that I've already done background checks on that would LOVE to move up here. The "old" managers never did background checks, and didn't even have them fill out any paperwork at all! We are gaining ground every day, and the renters seem to like what we've done, so far..........

Some people's children!

The thing that is so ironic about people like that is they are usually the ones that complain the loudest when one of the other neighbors act they way that they usually do.
