The new steps look great.. Its good to be messing with our trucks in decent weather isnt it? Although looks like some rain this week but I wont complain... I put some grass seed down this weekend so could use some help from Mother Nature..

the tarps or cheap headers.... i can help with tarps. cheap headers, well i'm not there yet. if you're giving money to mechanics, i have tools, like to sit back, watch ppl use 'em & don't charge.(yeah i'm a D/A)
i'm about to start charging by the lb of air coming out of my compressor.
And bring hot dogs. Sassy loves 'em

Here are a few more signs of spring......
"Honey, you need to clean the house windows to get rid of all the road grim"
"Honey, don't you think that it is about time to clean out the woodstove?"
"Honey, it is time to clean all the dog poop out of the pen from the winter"
"Honey, isn't it time to put the mower deck back on the lawn tractor and do some mowing??"
"Honey, isn't it time to put the snowblower away?"
"Honey, you need to rake the stones out of the lawn that you put in there with the snowblower"
and the list goes on and on.

Sorry gang that I haven't been online. To catch up on some of your posts:
Bill - we missed you. Hopefully you can make the next one. Maybe we should plan a fall G2G there like you suggested.
Love that statement!! 
Rob - glad to hear you were OK. The parents are doing better now. They are home and slowly getting back into the swing of things. Thanks for asking!!
I hear you on that. They are taking it slow and really haven't gone out until recently. My Mom still has slight congestion whereas my Dad just gets tired easily. For the most part they are staying home and taking it easy.
Barr - I was wondering about you. Glad to see you are OK even though you got dumped on. So how did you make out with the trans?
Glad to see everyone that have posted that they are alright and getting their spring cleaning projects done.

We got it all done in good time but it wasn't easy. One of my men was sick with the flu, and the dump trucks tranny snapped in half on it's first lot.... yes you read that right - it snapped in half. We were down two trucks. Yesterday I spent the day tearing the the old flood victim apart, I think the case will fit the dump truck.

Sorry to have been away so long. Made the switch to high speed and rean into some problems, both with the connection and the computer. I hope both are now solved.
The two weeks goofing with this has put me behind in all sorts of things.
We didn't enjoy much snow from that last big one here on the highlands surrounding the Genesee Valley region. I mean, snow in April is no big surprise around here.
Got a belated Christmas gift of a digital camera and will be able to post some pics and some "re-pics" where I have photographed an older print of interest. That way I will be able to show those of the Mid-America Trucking Show. There is a lot to learn to use the camera to its best advantage and I have to learn about connecting to the computer to be able to share them as well. It will be fun, but one thing at a time.
Glad to be back in touch.
Dave

Dave - glad to see you back online. Wait until you get the hang of the digital camera. It is great. I still use my film camera for action or low light situations as the digital can't handle those. Can't see spending $1500 or more on a digital that will do those as well.
