Spent yesterday deciding the new belt tensioner is the problem on the 94. The spring finally cut loose like the original one, and smacked the finger on my other hand. Got a little angry and it went flying. Being it didn't have wings, it crashed.
Got a replacement, and all is good now.

Morning Charlie!

I am soooo tired of glazing windows........ I've done 24 already and have just over 30 to go. Sure would like to have an hour with the boys that broke all these windows, but two of them are dead already.........

Karma always wins in the end Don, You don't need to do anything

The parents of the kids on the other hand should suffer some financial issue tho, you and the owners should be reimbursed for your out pocket, and labor

It happened several years before I bought into the base. The judge gave the kids community service, but would not allow them to work on the base because of the asbestos. Two of them committed suicide years later...

I was living in Arlington at the time and didn't know it even happened. I knew two of the families fairly well, and would never thought they would have done something like this. The families I knew were the families of the boys that took their own life.........

Kids change when they grow.
To meet me, then My kids, you would never know we're related. They Grew up totally different than they were raised.
Only one has a good work ethic, and he spends money faster than he makes it. The others.... Well, There's not enough time for those stories.

I feel so blessed with my two. My daughter Jayla is married to a great guy (that works for Ford!) with 4 great kids, and my son Harley is my best friend and we work together every day. When I see how most of my friends kids are doing, I'm sooooo grateful for what I have........

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Don and Charlie.

It's going to be really warm today. I'm headed out to do some field work today and tomorrow.

Sitting here at my desk, watching the sky turn all kinds of beautiful colors as it comes up over the Cascades and the silhouette of Mt. Hood.

Morning Tiny. Should be 85 here today. Just setting here watching Fox's program about 9.11.01...............12 years later, and I've still got tears streaming down my face.

Never forget.............

Nor will I.


Spent about 2 hours drilling spot welds last night. Got the last row to go around the back window, along the top, when I realize that whoever was doing the spotwelding, oh those many years ago, did double hits all along the top of that window! Ug.

My niece was scheduled to fly on the plane that hit the Pentagon, but had sinus problems so couldn't take the flight. Her best friend and roommate took her flight.......

She was so brokenhearted she committed suicide a year later........


Glad your doing the spotwelds and not me.................lol
