Morning Ken. I'm having it delivered here at work, so I can unload it with the forklift. I'll pull it out of the crate at home with the engine hoist, and then put the old engine back in the crate the same way, then bring it back down here for them to pick up.

Morning guys, happy Hump Day! So, it got here, but....


the stupid driver refused to give his name, or show an ID to the gate guard, so they refused him, as they should. Called the shipping company, they were not happy with their driver, since either he, or some other driver, will be returning today with my engine, with explicit instructions to cooperate with the gate guard here. F-ing moron.

So, I'll bring the truck in tomorrow, if the engine shows up, and then swap it out tomorrow night, bring the core in Friday, and schedule the pickup for it.

Enjoy that rain, boys! Ken, the guard called me, and the guy still wouldn't show him any id, or tell him his name. I was going to head to the gate, but, the idiot driver, had already backed out and left by the time I got up there.

Okay, engine has been delivered! I'll bring the pickup in tomorrow, load it up, and take it home. At least the driver wasn't an idiot this time!
