Alright now that the great snow storm of 17 has passed, I'm ready for some 70 degree weather and getting outside some more.

Bob,
Nice score on the shopsmith, I just wonder where the heck your going to set it up at your house right now!

Agreed on the cold stuff...

Looks like I may have someone coming to look at the volvo tonight. I'm tired of driving that damn thing, hopefully going to look at older ranger this weekend.

It's crammed into the other half of the shed. I won't get to play with it until we're settled in the next place.

What a new toy that you can't play with Bob? I do understand how that feels.

It sucks not being able to play with it yet. But I do have it. I've been looking at Shopsmiths back in Missouri too. And this one that we bought was listed just a couple of hours when I jumped on it. And I got a smoking deal on it.

I am more that with you guys on the weather.
Tomorrow will make 3 days of no work.
Too wet and now too cold and because it's to cold I cant do any body work stuff on my truck as I have no heat in the garage.


I got a feeling when I do go back to work it will be 12 to 14 hours days!

I hear you on that. I spent 15 minutes out in the shop this evening and called it quits. Didn't even give the heat time to attempt to warm that place up. I've also put the kerosene heater up for the year, and didn't feel like digging it back out.

So who's free Saturday? I'm getting tired of looking for a fender and hood and door for the truck, where every one wants 200 for each! Found a parts truck, heard back from the guy, hoping I can pick it up this weekend if everything goes to plan. Then take what I need, strip the rest and scrap it.

Josh as of right now, I don't think anything is going on around here. So unless I'm told differently, I'm in. I'm ready fr some playtime away from this house.

Hey guys... my dad is currently in the ICU of the Trauma center for the hospital.. so please do whatever it is yall do when wishing someone well.. I just rushed 5 1/2 hrs to SC to visit him in the hospital. Earlier today he ended up in an accident that required him to be air lifted. While he is still alive and talking.. the nurses mentioned he may need some for the internals. He has a bruised liver, cracked rib, collapsed lung, some internal bleeding but theyre not sure how bad at the current time, broken clavicle and lacerations on the front and back of his head theyre saying he will also need surgery for. While his lower half seems fine his upper body is all sorts of colors purple. but has all sorts of tubes and things going in and out of him...

so please say or do whatever it is yall do when wishing one well...

as to the accident all we know at this time was that at one point he was into a guard rail which then resulted in him being under the rear of a tractor trailer that drug his car over 60ft...
