Evening Everyone!

I got some errands run and my new truck paid for today. I guess I'll have to wait a few days to bring it home. I was cutting grass in a T-shirt today and it was sunny and 70. Tomorrow we're expecting 2" of snow and 26 degree temps. Go home Mother Nature, you're drunk. I need to order a new fire suit, also. My fat butt doesn't want to cram in to my old one anymore.

Alan,
With your new schedule I’m assuming your build list is being pushed as well. Just wondering how far back I am on your build list. No rush really just wondering if I can start on a different project. Still want to do just trying to plan my year.

The list should be about the same, but I WILL slow down a bit. I'm going to try to get what I can done through the week, so the weekends can be for shows.

I just ordered my new fire suit. The jacket is coming right away. It says the pants won't ship until May 5th. I sure hope they do. We have a show on the 22nd and they're kind of important.

Alan did you not or could you not use the black 2 piece 5.11 Flash Gear set (with an appropriate) fire rating I gave you? Yes I know it not as cool, but it is your favorite color.

"FR-x3™ is a revolutionary new fire-retardant fabric exclusive to 5.11 Tactical. This unique material contains 51% S.P.™ cotton and 49% FR-x3 modacrylic fiber. It inherits cotton's natural breathability, comfort and ease of care, yet its fire-retardant nature is inherent to the fabric and doesn't wash or wear out. FR-x3 exceeds minimum standards in NFPA tests for after-flame and no-drip properties according to ASTM D6413.

The FLASH Shirt is an extraordinary new product for operators who require protection from flash fires. Made from 6.8-oz. FR-x3™ canvas, the shirt is triple-stitched and bartacked for lasting durability. It features 5.11's hidden document pockets and a smooth front placket. Cuffs are secured with hook-and-loop closures."

Well its a 2 piece set up almost looks uniform like for (cops and firefighters), it is what they issued us to fly on helicopters in Afghanistan years ago. But I guess the MTRA has it own set of rules he has to follow.

So I got the lawn mower to fire up and in he middle of cutting the part around the shop, it starts to SNOW. To heck with you drunk mother nature... I kept mowing and at least finished the back part with my jacket hood up.

The view out my front door. The weather idiots here said it wouldn't go south of Kansas City, so I was when Alan & Rich said it was snowing.

Good Morning Everybody!

Rich. The garment has to have an SFI tag on it for me to use it. It won't pass an inspection without it.

No snow here yet. I sure am glad I got the yard done yesterday, though. I need to drop a bumper off at the Greyhound station today and maybe start cutting steel for some bumpers.

Rich. Haha! I'm good. I had to spend enough money on the Simpson stuff, so I might as well wear it.

It's all good, I was just trying to look out for you way back when you were an "independent" and just locally sponsored when I gave you that stuff. And it was black...your favorite color. Lol You have a HANS device don't you?
