Tasty Taco Tuesday morning Montana, Roy, Pat, George, Tim, Bud and all the crew.

Roy it sounds like a busy and expensive day you had. One thing about it, it wasn't boring.
Nothing like coming home to wagging happy tails after the day you had. Spaghetti sounds good, send me a plate!

OH the moment you shut the door and as it latches you remember the keys is called an Ignosecond!

Morning Sailor..... Those Jap cars just don't make it IMHO. Love the way the FOMOCO vehicles make it easy to lock, unlock the doors. Have you picked the hitch out of the truck bed yet ?

Roy, you could carry a spare door lock key in your wallet A lot of times, the local police might be able to unlock the car for you.

Good evening Montana, Roy, Bud, Tim, Geroge and Crew.
Hope you had a great day and the Montana had some attention for the fitting of solar.

OH well! It is only money and you can not take it with you!

I locked the keys in my work truck one night. I called the local police to help out, you would have thought there was a bank heist. Three cars showed and the race was on between two of them to see who could get in first.

After all the "fun" settled down yesterday evening, I finished putting the hitch hoist together.......
The day ended just "Great"........




I am going to extend the boom and see how it does......

Today's 0700 - 1300 shift that went to 1400 was a nice shift. Good time at HD.
Montana Sub Shop for a late lunch.
Then to the truck wash.
To the school to pick up Theresa.
Got home..... Relaxing shower.....
Then take Theresa to a Volleyball game.
To North40 for doggie food (now it is $45 per 30 lb bag) and some hardware.
To the game..... watch them get killed.
It was after 1900 before we got home...
Fix dinner.....
Now I need to order toner for the printer....... I am Broke.....

Tomorrow starts with HD again.... 0700 - 1300
I hope to get to Steel Etc to by 2" square alum thick walled or steel to extend the boom. It will slide into the existing boom...

Is there room to run the picker in from the side of the truck? Without causing any damage that is. Extend it too far...watch out for tipping.
Here's a redneck engineering trick that I've used a few times 2 8' step ladders, a 4x4, a come-a-long. Put the 4x4 across the ladders, back under, use the come-a-long to do the hoisting. Used that set up a few times to get engines out of the bed of the truck.
