I finally get a cool motorcycle and all it does is rain. but looks like towards the end of the week it will be OK.
Went into work yesterday for a while and it was busy so I'm glad I was there. Me, the wife and little man went to our favorite wings place in Rome after work and tore them up.
We have double hung thermal glass windows and they are great.
most of mine will be double hung double pane (thermal?) i guess. The only sliders will be where original sliders were with sliding screens as well

1977 may not be energy efficient. ask them if the finance is a second mortgage that how most of the remodeling places work. they definitely put a lien on the house

It is about 8 for us no matter which way go. The wife likes Panama City the best, that’s where we went on our honeymoon.

No windows are definitly not efficient at all.

Im sure as with any contracting company they will put a lien to make sure they are paid before house is sold or whatever. I will have it paid off ASAP

Good luck on the truck.
This bike is so impressive, I almost forgot how much fun it is to ride. My new riding jacket should hopefully be delivered today.

i would love to ride again, maybe one day when my bills are paid haha

today went to junk kind of quick. Got handed a job I know I didnt want to do because of helping another coworker on a similar model/brand. But it actually didnt turn out too bad to tear the booms apart, until I found the chain had just destroyed the second boom. Bad news bears from me to the foreman for the past 2 days.

I know it aint my issue, but I just want my jobs to come in, and go out. So far I have 3 sitting idle, worth 300k+, waiting on parts and approvals from customers....

Jacob that typical 300k is really not that much on heavy equipment .

Got the front section of the driveshaft hooked up to the transmission looked up saw 4 holes in a crosmember right where the center bearing is sitting. Thank you Ford, now if the had just bolted the mount in place vs 4 huge rivets. Another trip to Johnson and the drive shaft piles should be easy to find the rear section. Had to go to the actual book to find the front ujoint

Hump day !!
It sounds like you are making good progress on the truck.
My new Army riding jacket came in yesterday and I really like it.

The driveshaft is the last major thing. Have master cylinder in the slave I put in next time I am under the truck. Electrical is the clutch safety switch , back up lights, adjusting the ignition switch and reconnecting a few wires for my mirrors that got dis.connected

Howdy Folks,

I know its been a while. Hope all is well. Sorry Hugh you are still having trouble getting a driveshaft. Have you thought of getting driveline atlanta to lengthen and balance your shaft? So my 73 has been a part for a bit due to a cracked piston (water was getting on the piston) but its about to go back together and I am excited. I bought my crate from Blueprint Engines and if you stay in contact with them all throughout ownership they will take care of you! My engine was a year out of Warranty and they paid to ship it back to them, rebuilt and replaced it block and shipped it back to me! I highly recommend them! I am sure the story would be different if someone bought one, never talked to them, lied about something then make a claim randomly hoping to get free help. I have enough saved for A/C which is a must in GA. Going with a kit from Nostalgic AC in Ocala. I am going to try and take pics and do a write up to help others. Fingers crossed I get this truck done before we get pregnant this year!
