I have one bay but we have an isle running down the middle of the building between the bays on each side that's big enough to pull in equipment out of the weather. I feel beat up this morning, always feel this way after installing a transmission. My working buddy has a doctors appointment so I am going to try and finish it myself today.

Making my last cruise payment on Friday!! I am ready for our vacation now. I hate winter!

No but I can still get it for 157 dollars. I think I will just to be on the safe side.

My buddy took the day off, I finished hooking up the cab, hydraulic lines and filled the fluids. I am warming the transmission up for the pressure tests I have to run. Mine won't be done for a while but should have his done by the end of the day.

Lucky him.
The insurance may not cover pre existing conditions, I think for that coverage you have to get it within 30 days of booking

Got the steering finished on the golf cart. Was able to get the bar on the chainsaw staightened , where the kid (29) helping last week twisted it. Had to run him off, another freeloader

Finished up my buddy's transmission yesterday and I am still waiting on mine so I decided to take the day off. I have some stuff I need to take care of before I head to Florida on Saturday.

You can't save them and roll them over to the next year. What you don't use they pay you for at the end of the year.
