Yeah, my thoughts exactly Morris. I really wish that my box would have been fixed correctly. But hey, it's currently a lot better than what I have to work with, so I'll make use of it!

I'm planning on keeping my truck for a while, so I may as well put the work in myself. No sense in crying over spilt milk.

Guess I'll be getting myself that MIG welder, Plasma cutter and all those air tools I wanted along with body tools Oh well?

EDIT: My box is actually all done with grinding and cleaning. Got that all done last night. Just hope I don't get rained on here cause it was left that way so I can work on it tonight.

Morris, I unfortunately dont have a rain gauge but we got a bit of rain out here!

Did you get your bobcat yesterday? I assume thats where you were going when i seen ya on highway 16.

Yeah Aaron you do have a little work! If your looking for a cheapy welder I have one ill be selling for a couple hundred bucks. Its nothing fancy though, I used it with flux core wire, and it has the place to hook up the shielding gas, but no regulator.

Yep, picked my Bobcat just before all this big rain came....
What do you think you got for rain, a couple of inches or more?

I dont think we had a couple of inch's, by my uneducated guess Im thinking maybe an inch though. There were times it came down pretty hard, then it kinda just drizzled and repeated that whole deal.

Interesting. Got any pics?

Does it come with a tank for gas, or do I have to get one myself?

And usually the gas regulator is on the tank, not the welder. Unless yours is different somehow?

Just heading into town to deal with some of my wife's grandmothers funeral stuff, but Ill snap a pic of it later.

The regulator is usually attached to a hose on the machine, but its just a simple little pull off hose, as well as it does attach to the tank.

I have a nitrogen regulator Ill never use but it wont do ya no good anyways!

Sorry to hear that Sheldon. Don't worry about the pics for now.

Yeah, a nitrogen regulator won't do me any good at all! I would need one that regulates from the tank to the hose. Wonder if my dad has any extra tank regulators kicking around ?

Morning everyone!

Looks like Regina is getting that rain that you Saskatooners talked about yesterday. *Shakes his fist* Why did you have to send us that rain? Haha.
