I had a full time job trying to get 5 people doing what needed to get done, but we did good. One of the owners will be back next sat to help finish up the cleaning. I fixed 3 flat tires yesterday on the backhoe. Not fun at all........

Picked up my monster snowblower on Friday. Took 4 of us to lift it in the truck. Got home, and then had the thought..."How the hell am I going to get this damn thing out of the truck??"

Luckily, I have a small hill on the west side of the driveway. Backed the truck up to it, and then laid a couple of short 2x6's out, and rolled it off.

Snowblower would die of old age around here..... The last 5 years has only brought us less than a foot of the damn white crap.

We had a lot last winter. And, supposedly, we're in for a lot more this coming winter. Super.

Brought in my spotweld cutter bit to work, going to have the machinist sharpen it up for me. Nice having a machine shop at work to do stuff for me!

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don and Pat.

We had a little thunder and lightening last night and some rain just to make things real fun.

Nice quiet day a the office today. No boss and all of my co-workers that sit immediately nearby are off today. Just catching up on FTE and watching the sun rise just north of Mt. Hood.

Pat, you should invest in some ramps from the "El Cheapo" store. My FIL got a set and they are great... I used them to help my neighbor unload his HD motorcycle. I'm going to pick up a set very soon.

We don't get much snow around here. Maybe every 10 to 15 years we'll get a nasty winter, but most are mild! Machinists make great buddys......................lol


Got a call from a buddy last night. His father in law just passed away and he wants to know if I want to buy his CNC plasma cutter..........
