Good morning all, welcome back from the weekend! Early morning for me, had to be in at 4. Waste of time, though. One of our gas valves must be froze, so no start. Been complaining that they need to heat trace and insulate these air lines and valves outside, but, as usual, no one listens. Bet they do now!
Ken, primer done, first coat of white is on. As I expected, will need two coats, I'll do that tonight.

Good morning all, happy Taco Tuesday! Paint is done! Thank God! I'm over that painting thing. So, ,going to give the body a night off, then start hanging lights and installing speakers Wednesday night. Nephew says he'll come this weekend to finish the electrical up. Looking forward to the Great Meltdown starting today, temps in the 50's, should do some damage to all the white crap on the ground!

Good morning, everyone! Or, what's left of it anyway. Man, Ken... seems like all it ever does is snow up your way! I'm much happier with it on the melting side of things, especially the rest of this week. Wife got home with the kids last night and they wanted to go pound around in the snow. They didn't make it 5 minutes and they were over it!

Good way-to-early morning all. I actually beat Ken in today! Had to come in early to run, and running until 7 pm. Long day. But, at least the temps are above freezing this morning.

Good morning, everyone!
To your 4am mornings, I say.... yuck... I have to do that on certain runs with the semi and it's not fun dragging my carcass out of bed at that ungodly hour. The paychecks should be nice, though!

We've been sitting here in Yuma without our truck for a week, it's in the shop with a broken valve spring, they just figured that out. When it started running like crap I was thinking spring but it made no noise so I tried chased down why it was missing so bad, when you don't have your shop and all your stuff it makes it hard. I finally took it to a shop to let them figure it out, it stumped them for a while to until they did a compression test and one cylinder was 0 and the test 175. It's a intake valve so it been messing with the rest of the cylinders. I just need it running good enough to get out butt's home and I will have the summer to fix it or replace the truck or maybe the motor.

Good morning all, happy Thursday! My Friday, taking a day of tomorrow so they can come and install my new lift! Can't wait for that! Nice to wake up at my normal time today, that getting up at 3 am sucks!
Denny, bummer about the truck! Hopefully they can fix you up so you can get back home!

Good morning, everyone! Bad deal about the truck, Denny. Hardly ever hear of something like a valve spring failure these days. Hope you're back on the road soon!
Looks like the nice weather here is going to be short lived... Rain or maybe snow on Sunday night now, so I hear. That's neat.

Good morning all, happy Friday! Lift installers here now, waiting for another guy to show up with their special dollies, since the crane truck won’t fit through my garage doors ( warned them of that), and they are NOT dragging it across my coated floors. No biggee. Nice day out already. But, like Kenny said, Sunday looks like crap. That time of year for Mother Nature’s roller coaster!
