After a gallon of Gatorade and another half gallon or so of water, I was still on the verge of passing out by the end of the day. Non stop for 9 hours. Not even a meal break today. I should mention I've been helping the guy move from his old shop to his new shop in between working on vehicles. The new shop has a huge storage area above the office. There's about 3,000 pounds of wheels, tires and misc. car parts up there. Yeah, if it's 100 degrees outside, imagine how it feels in the attic of a tin building.

 

Better take it easy and drink water sapper! Is it a race to get moved or what? If so then he should hire some day labors and let you just keep on the body work part of it.

You have to eat a little something, the body does not run on liquid alone.

 

Today was the last load to the new shop. He's officially out of the old building and moved in to the new one. Now that everything is in the new building, I have to figure out where to put everything in the shop and get the office in order too. ......and turn wrenches. .......and do the billing. .....and order the parts.

It's like I'm the only one there. ....oh wait. I am.

 

Hey all! Havent been around due to a phone issue that would not let me change my password from my phone. Anyway, I got all fixed and am back online.

Alan, if you want to let me know if you find a Diesel Motor for Big Red let me know. I am starting to look. I also have some other issues with Red, that I am sure you know about, that I want to get buttoned up before winter.

Tried to catch up on everything, sorry I missed the event.

 

Alan, I see that you are going to do the Shop thing, cool, hope it is what you want.

 

Here are some pics of the monster and tough truck show in Miami Ok from a couple of weeks ago. I took first in stock class both nights and got two sweet looking trophies.

 

It's not, but it's money. I'm still hanging on to the shop as long as I can. I just ordered a ton of stuff for the C-cab. (it's so cool to buy toys with someone else's money) Monday, I have to drop off the engine at the machine shop and pick up the metal for it.

 

Finally figured out how to post some pics so here is some cool monster truck action from the same Miami show.

 

Hope everyone has a great night and stays cool tomorrow. Alan I know a little how you feel. At work I have to load metal for customers as well as unload deliveries, fix broken skid steers and forklifts, as well as clean and organize the lot and get the welding guys all the metal they need in the shop. I don't think my phone goes without ringing for more than ten minutes with my boss calling to tell me I have another "project".

 

Phone? Oh, hell no! If you want me to do something, you can get your happy *** out of your air conditioned office and come find me. I hate "bosses" like that.

 

Anyone know where i can pick up some free pallets in the Springfield area?

 

Jeff. I got some at Lowe's. They set aside the broken ones. I didn't care if there was a board or two broken on them. There's a plastics place in Nixa that has them stacked up two stories high on the side of their building. They might be willing to part with a few as well.

Good Morning Everybody!

Drinking coffee and mentally preparing myself for the day. There must've been a heck of a storm blow through this morning. I have big branches down in my yard and the neighbor lost part of a tree in his yard.

 

Might check with the grocery stores or if you have a grocery warehouse around.

 

I get mine for FREE all the time at this place. Stop by the front office and ask, they have stacks around back behind the bldg.
