Good morning all youins.

 

Good Morning Everybody!

More cutting, grinding and welding today. Hopefully my welder behaves and I won't feel the urge to give it a tune up with a large hammer. Stupid thing was giving me fits, yesterday.

 

Morning Chip, Alan. Was wondering when you guys would start this! Happy February. Although, I'd be happy if we could just skip right to April!

 

Our new chapter leader he slipped again

No donuts for late comers.

 

Sprinkles are for winners.

 

I am currently swamped with family issues (my mom had to get an infusion of 2 bags of blood yesterday), then after all that, I took her back to the nursing home and right after I left, she fell. She is ok, its just nerve racking.

Thanks for firing up the new thread and thanks for linking it in the Jan thread.

 

Sorry to hear that Rich.

Just remember if I wasn't busting your chops, it would mean I didn't like you.

 

Afternoon All!

I just got back from urgent care. I was working on one of my new axles and it slipped off the jack stands, knocked me back in to the wall and landed on my foot. Once again, ....words were said, ....stuff was thrown.

I managed to get the axle back on the jack stands and finish welding the spring perches before I went to the doctors. Two broken bones. One metatarsal and one phalange. They just have me in a shoe right now. I have to follow up with the ortho guys in a week or two.

Seriously, if I'm not breaking the equipment, I'm breaking me.

 

That reminds me of what we tell our kids. If the coach is yelling at you all is well. It's when he stops yelling at you that you need to worry about and then go ask him what you are doing wrong.

Aging parents are a challenge. We are currently living with my father in law. We lost my mother in law in October and it was a huge shock. We will be selling our house and moving in with him to help care for him. He has been in the house 48 years and my wife is not about to move him out.

 

You don't like anyone Dan.

 

I have been up for a while FTEing it.

Dang your luck Alan, be safe.

Morning Ford fans.

 

I spotted these two this morning while heading back from Ozark.
Good morning everybody!

Unk Bob

 

Ford truck stalker...lol

I just called to ck in on RC, I could sort of hear him in the back ground, he told the nurse he did not feel like talking. She said to try and call back later on today.

I told her to tell him the FTE clan says hello.

 

Morning ,Well i was not sad to see jan leave . Thats not going to feel good to get sparks down the top of a cast on your foot ,your gonna need some duct tape Alan .Thats like 750 pounds on your foot .

 

Good Morning Everybody!

No cast so far. They just gave me a shoe thingy. I have to go see a podiatrist on Tuesday. Why do I feel like they're going to make a bigger deal out of this than they need to?

Anyway, gonna go cut grind and weld some more, today.
