OT going back to work

After being laid off for almost 4 months, I got the call today. And i'm going back to making pistons the 28th. Now I've just got to save some $$$ and give Clay and Ed a call.

Way to go Brandon! I don't know what I would have done being laid off for any length of time. I know the wife would be real tired of me hanging around the house.

Cool! Can you whip me up a set of pistons for my PSD that won't melt at ~1220 degrees? Oh, and a set of rods that won't fly apart at 400-500 rwhp would be good, too...
