Yeah. My Crew cab has slowed way down. My life, my buddies life. It make it tough to get anything done. And on top of it the crew cab project is 45 minutes from my house.

Hoping to have the Coe bolted down, and the drive train swapped from the new donor by the winter. Seeing that the Coe is in my driveway it is a little easier to wrk on. But not counting on getting the swap down i'm well aware how things go in this hobby.

 

What's the intentions for the COE, a car hauler?

 

Yup. exactly.

E450 chassis. 7.3 turbo diesel. Automatic.

and the obvious car shows, swap meet hauler etc.

 

Will be a big project, do you have a time frame you'd like to finish it by.?

 

Well obviously I'd like it done today but I'm a realist. I might get everything swapped, wired and drive able by fall/winter. But I still need to fab up the body/hauler body.

Id like a moveable vehicle by fall. Just don't think I'll have enough weekends before fall.

 

I take it you are still working and earning a living which of course is good but doesn't provide a lot of free time. I retired a year ago and get to spend a couple hours a day, sometimes more on this project but for some reason I think I got more done when I was working..

 

Yeah. I just turned 40. And will probably have to work the rest of my life. I have weekends off now. So I get the full two days. When, Weather, my buddies schedule (for the crew cab) and my life/wife cooperate. Lol

 

When I worked I had some different schedules that provided more days off, I worked an 8/6 then a 7/4/6/4 and then a 7/7 schedule so had plenty of days off. At 40 you'll be working for a few more years yet unless you win the lottery, be we all wish for that...lol

 

Yeah. I contribute to the lottery, but all I ever win is a few bucks. I've one a few thousand on scratch tickets. But it's been a while on those. I'm sure I didn't cover my losses on any of them. Lol. Ahh. U can't win unless u play.

 

Closest I ever got was one number out from winning 2.5 million , ended up with $2200. I think my luck has run out...

 

Good morning Rhode Island...... and John.


Hope all is well... had to break out the windbreaker today.... got to love new England.


John, I always think that I will be the guy one number short of millions....

 

One dollar short of a million would be much better...

Hello Tom and Rhode Island...

 

yeah.... one dollar short would be better... lol

 

We are finally getting some relief from the rain today but it's still rather cloudy, thinking I better get out and cut the hay field...lol

 

Yeah, we had about a week of rain here a few weeks ago. It sucks.


I mowed my lawn (takes about 10 minutes total) a week ago and it needs cutting again....


Maybe I will get that done tomorrow... I might even do some weed whacking to clean up the lawn a little more.
