Sorry to hear about the job Chad. Hope you can find something soon!!!

Not a good time to be in the heavy equipment business.
That sucks Chris, I don't know of a field that isn't feeling the pinch. I know Troy is in the micro chip industry, Freescale has closed 2 plants and layed off 2400 people this month. Kinda scary....
Hey Chris, Sherri's haircut looks very nice. I gave her the check and she said "thanks, looks like it will be a nice X-mas for me." Hope that check makes it into BB's account. lol. She is too funny, always great to talk with. Probably my favorite person there. We like sharing kids stories, she's got her hands full with those daughters....

Yeah, just hoping that we can weather the storm. We have 10 Cat 777F Haul trucks in our yard that are from a canceled sale of one of the mines. Several upon several million bucks just sitting there. We normally don't have something that big in our yard - they usually are delivered straight to the mine site - because their bed bodies and tires need to be removed for highway transport. The order was canceled as they were in-route by rail and they ended up here.

I haven't heard the latest from Sherri about the girls. They have a lot of Sam in them. Free spirits for sure. Sherri is the ultimate conservative type.
If they ever change octane or Sirius Patriot they'll lose me as a customer. I'm just watching all you guys chat, waiting on a compression gauge I ordered to show up. Wanna get a good reading on the truck before I pull the engine and tear down.
Chad
They already changed Patriot some time back that just about ruined it. They got rid of one conservative channel and tried to put them all together on 144, why I don't know. But they got rid of 2 I really like. Liddy and Ingrams, and cut Mike Reagan down to just one hour a day. Makes no sense to me. But they gotta do what they gotta do just to be able to pay that foolish Howard the ridiculous amount they agreed to.
well I like hannety, and levin is OK sometimes, but he yells too much. I do miss liddy and still like church and wilkow. I originally got sirius when a job I had took me all over the region. Our terrestial stations here suck. I'll listen to Octane when I want music, my wife listens to it more than me, she commandeered my radio. When I'm in the car I flip to 144. We only have 1 working vehicle, and I want the truck running in a bad way to fix that. We each had a car starting out, but haven't got everything settled where we can be a 2 vehicle household again. So rebuilding the PSD is my poor man's financing. Plus then I can outfit it. I miss not having a mobile ham rig or my own sirius radio, and lots of other cool ideas I have. But let's fix the engine first. Not sure if my gauge is gonna show up today or not, UPS is contradicting itself. I've got a cherry picker and stand waiting, just want to get a few things out of the way before I dig into it.
Jay, just saw on the news we are supposed to be 82 on Monday, 81 on Tuesday and 80 on Wednesday. Sould be really nice for you and the wife next week!!!
I hope Lisa isn't too busy with her trainee, but she said she is the go to girl so I bet her head is spinning with everything she needs to learn.
Oh well, the novelty of visiting the Club just wore off again. How long did I last? I think since Monday. I have a knack for really pissing folks off in there somehow.

Thanks for the update Cris. Looking for some pool time!
