Its a good day I actual feel productive today. I'm back up and running at work, the screen plant has been down for 2 weeks leaving me nothing to do but sit in the truck and pray for a few trucks to load.

well, the rattletrap is back on the road.
it took 3 days, but it now has all new armorlite brake lines jacketed in vacuum hose to prevent rubbing, and new rear brakes.

now all it needs is new shocks, the frame cleaned and painted, all new gaskets in the engine to stop the oil leaks, and the new cab and body to be put on.

Teacher asked today "how many people here have jobs?" to a class of 22 people. 5 people raised their hands including me. Kinda speaks for the work ethic of the people there....

Not to brag but I went to into the woods today with an empty truck filled it with wood cut to 16" lengths and split and stacked it all before I got home. The truck had enough wood on it that it was sitting on the overloads the entire way back to the shop.
