Hey guys

Finally got a chance to stop by and say hi. How have you guys been? I have been so busy I can think straight. Going to try and start making simi-regular stops in. Don't know how that will turn out.

I'm doing good Dom. Between my shop and still doing this oil field thing I don't ever catch a break. Super busy. How about you.

I'm sure u must be. Lol. I'm sure everybody would love to see u at our tech days and get-togethers. Six-ohs need to represent. Lol. Tats ok everybody! Still love y'all!

I've been busy as all get out too. The guys on the Texas chapter and the six-oh forum are keeping me straight. Lol. I got approved for a company vehicle. Finally! From what I gather, it may be a new ford escape. Ain't no clown cars for me. Too much problems with the ford transit connect. Hopefully, I get it soon before the month is out. I need to rebuild my front end again.

Take care boss! Good to hear from u always!

I might just make one dom. I need to get away and catch some time off.

Woody, yeah pretty much just diesel repairs/mods, but we have a few customers that want us to work on their gas stuff as well so we squeeze one in now and again.

My 07 is about to go under the knife soon. So my sig about keeping it stock will have to change. Decided owning a diesel performance shop and a stock truck doesn't go hand in hand. Cab is coming off if it in the next month or so.

How's your business doing? I'm self-employed now! My exboss pissed me off and that's when I bit the bullet and made the jump. It's been a nervous up and down decision since, but not one I regret. I encourage you to do the same if you can.

Oh I understand. When a fella is busy, he's busy. Lol. Have fun and be safe. I'm sure we'll run into each other one of these days.

I hear you woody. It's been a slow process. We are starting to get real busy and it's looking better all the time. Now if I could just find a few good (reliable) techs I would have it made. It's a lot more work keeping it going than I had imagined going in. I thought it was just pull a truck in and get it fixed. Boy was I wrong. There is so much more involved than that when you own your own business, as I'm sure you understand. I have a plan to get out of the patch someday, and it's looking better all the time. In all actuality the shop is doing well enough I could quit the patch and just work there everyday, but it's just a hard decision.
