Morning everyone. I hope you all enjoy your day.

Nothing much going on here. I have some errands to run including picking up the proper speedometer driven gear so it reads properly. I finally got around to replacing the speedo drive gear in the transmission. I will be doing the oil chance and a drain and fill on the trans once I have the gear.

Machine shop finally came through and sold the extra 300 I had just sitting here. I now have the $ to order the rubber floor mat from rockauto for the truck

The pertronix unit I ordered for the truck based on their own distributor chart was wrong. Luckily I still had a couple days left to be ale to return it to Amozon, or I would have been stuck with it. I am waiting for amazon to credit the money back so I can order the right one.

Next project will be the rear-end. I know it needs axle seals but I thinking about going ahead and replacing the axle bearings as well. I need tp talk to the husband of one of my wife's friends to see if he will help and allow the use of his press. If not I will just buy one. The cost wouldn't be that much more than having a shop do the work.

Spring break is right around the corner. Time to find a good hiding place. Happy Friday 13th to all!

Morning & Happy Saturday.
I didn't have to work yesterday. My Terex was in the shop longer than they thought. That's okay though, it gave me a chance to complete my online EMT Transition Course. YEAH...I'm finally done! Now I have to figure out how to print out my certificate, since I can't hook up a printer to my tablet. Lol I could do it on Jimmys laptop, but I have to figure out how to transfer my certificate to the right program so the laptop will read it & print it out. But either way, I'm excited to be done cause I'm never going to take another online class. What a pain in the ***! Lol

Yesterday My granddaughter and I were discussing the myths about Friday the 13th, She says its a lucky day, I'm not so sure. This is how my Mt bike frame looked at the end of the day.






Debbie says I may have exceeded the GVW.
Anyway enjoy the weekend!

Morning guys,


Happy Monday! Welcome to a new work week.
Guess I'll find out if im working today. Friday my foreman called me to let me know my Terex was still in the shop & there wasn't enough product to run all the trucks anyway, so I got Friday off. I just hope I get to work today, because its going to be a short work week for me already! I'll be off tomorrow for my eye surgery & possibly Wednesday for any recovery time.
Atleast Friday I finished my online EMT transition class.

Have a Marvelous Monday!
