I don't think so Gerry, the time you spent there doesn't mean a thing to them. Gave them half my life and will pay for it the rest of my life.

I'm hoping that getting away from this damn shift work and onto a regular schedule will make me feel better and more rested.

John, sounds like you have a full plate. Good luck with your troubled family member. Hopefully you can have a positive influence on him without him causing you any trouble!!

ON John, are you officially retired yet?

Gerry...for a retired guy, you sure don't sleep in much...

Colin...good luck with the truck. Wrenching is fun, but sometimes you have to take it to someone who's familiar with that era of machinery. My Farmall A wouldn't run for me last year, after running at the sale where I bought it. It's time for me to find someone who knows more about those points ignition systems.

Morning Cowboy. Are you water slinging again today?

I think Morris got abducted by the aliens who were using that truck as bait.

Have a great day guys... Grant will be by shortly to give greetings

Good morning everyone.

Sherm, I will be a little bit later.
Do not take off until around 09:00 or maybe even later.

How are you doing?

Well I have it narrowed down to poor spark or to much fuel. It ran fine last fall and now this spring it barely runs.

Morning boys. Looks like a beauty out there so far. I think we're out of the frost now...for a couple months anyway.

Hope you get your truck figured out Colin.

John, I'm already looking for an exit in my recent career change for a similar reason as you mentioned. You give so much of your life with nothing in return but a paycheck. No matter how big it is, you're still just working for "the man" and helping build up someone elses coffers. Working for yourself seems to be the only answer. Sure its only been a few months, but at the end of the day watching how money is spent on useless things while the business needs assets to grow is a painful thing to do. I'm very happy for you though, that you are able to retire and move on!! Again, good luck!!

To everyone else out there...far away from retirement like myself... Happy Hump Day!!!
