Things are a changin'

Well, I got some more house reno stuff on the go, got the glowplug timer finally bypassed on my Nissan, and this afternoon, I got my guage pod in the '96! Man, that things been sitting in the corner of the kitchen mocking me since Christmas. Had to go play with it a bit for some reason.
On a more serious note, My employer is changing manning at the plant. Since they bought us in September, they've said changes were coming. They run a LOT leaner than my previous employer did. Nothing in writing yet, just rumours as to which positiions are being cut. I'll let you guys know when I find out more.

You`re a busy guy with house reno stuff on the go, working on the Nissan, and getting your guage pod in the '96! Nice to see you have time to play with the F350!
That is serious with the changing manning at your plant. Hope you do ok, keep us posted. Maybe you`ll have to come a litte further west, things are happening here and seems to be quite afew decent job openings.

Have you made any progress on the 4x4 front axle swap in the Crewcab?

No news yet on my job. THere's supposed to be more meetings today. We shall see. As for the axle swap, I've gotten all the tin off the front end of my donor. I haven't even touched anything else yet. And that was last week. The next thing on that list would be getting the engine out and checking it out. After that, the tranny and tranfer case. those will go straight in the '96. All I'll have to do there is get my driveshaft shortened 'cause the donor is a SC. The rest may take a while.

It`s a big job so I would expect it will be a lengthy time consuming one with lots to do to make it work.
