Good Morning Rob, all my Nebraska buds, and all who wander by today! I feel like I'm the only one here at work today! Dont' see a whole lot getting done. Well, did Santa hook everybody up yesterday? Hope so. It was 41 when I left the house this morning! I almost wore shorts!

Howdy Pat... kind of a ghost town around here today, I think I'm the only guy in my group here (guess that says who is the low man around here!) Hopefully all the folks who use my systems are off too so I have a peaceful day.

About 38 degrees here this morning, what a nice feeling that was! 'Santa' didn't bring me anything else since he busted the budget on the 79 F150, he really can be a tight wad sometimes...

I had to order a new dimmer switch from LMC. Can you believe beating on the old one with a hammer didn't do any good??? I thought a good hammer fixed everything! I also have a small power steering fluid leak somewhere. Can't wait till I have a garage so I can investigate without freezing or getting covered in snow.

Yea, Id rather be at work too, lol, although i did just go buy parts for the Ghost, going to do a tune up as well as add a coolant overflow bottle to it.
so all in all had a good morning so far

Jobs goin pretty good actually. Spent one day riding along, then the other 2 in the warehouse. Driver was just to busy and wouldnt have been able to show me anything, so ill be riding along this week as well. A real good bunch of people there too, probally less than a dozen people work there, at least that i can see.

Good to hear it's working out. I'm hoping to sneak out of here early today, and get the fuel filters changed on the '06. Should be warm enough today for everything to have un-gelled.

Hey Jerry, glad that new job is working out good for you!

Pat, did you have the truck towed home, or did you have it taken somewhere else?

Later Jerry. Rob, had it towed home. Not about to pay someone for something I can do myself. Ford wants a million dollars a set (okay, it's actually $75 a set) for their filters. I can get them from International for $35 a set. I'll have her back up and running tonight!
