Morning Fellas. Sun peeking through the clouds this am making a little ray on the trees is quite pleasing.

We had a momma duck nesting in our bush for the spring. Yesterday my wife noticed she was gone and the nest was empty. Hopefully hatching was a success for her and her little ones. Good luck in the future to them.

That's a great looking interior John!!

Have a gooder guys...weekend is almost here again!!

Good day folks!
Sad news from the fires in northern Sk:
Cluster of northern fires now 5 times the size of P.A. | paNOW
My only decent talent is finding a good deal Gerry, building vehicles certainly isn`t my forte!
Hopefully your little duck family is safe and sound Sherm, it`s quite the challenge in today`s environment!

I just went for a ride with a buddy in his tuned 6.4 powerstroke. He had it on the 250hp tune and man did it leave a good burnout! About 60-70 feet of rubber on the road and he wasn't on his race tune.

John, that looks real nice. Next thing is to swap out the junk gm drivetrain for a Ford drivetrain

Sherwin, I wish I knew how to operate heavy machinery. You could make a lot of money running machine out on the rigs.

Grant, I know how you feel about the apple not falling far from the tree. I am a lot like my dad.

Gerry how's things?

Morris, I know how you feel about building vehicles. I do most of they work on my truck but it takes me two to three times as long as everyone else lol.

Morning gents. We've made it to Friday once again!! Chance of T-storms here all day. Here's hoping we get some moisture along with it.

Randy, running equipment isn't difficult. Its like most everything you do, practice makes perfect. I've never had any training, just lots of opportunity to try, and I do. Never pass on the opportunity to try/learn something new. I've often thought about buying a smaller dump truck and a midi hoe for a sideline business, but honestly I don't have time. Perhaps I'll make it a "coasting into retirement" business.

Morris are you keeping busy with skid steer work this year?

Nice you're working on your garage Gerry. Did you get everything sorted out in the end?

Have an awesome Friday fellas!!

Good day folks.
Randy, it`s usually cheaper buying an older vehicle than building your own.
Gerry, a loft sounds like a cool idea, any pictures?
Sherm, the last couple of yrs have been slower for me which is ok, I`m kind of liking my free time to do more around the farm site. I`m keeping my tandem and just put my single axle is for sale, it`s just been sitting the last few yrs.
Sounds like you`ve had a rough week Grant.

OMG Morris might part with a truck, lol

the loft is still in its unfinished stage, about 44 ft long by 13 ft on the floor, 7ft head room
I ordered loft style trusses so the shape is pre determined .... I'm insulating now,
