Evening Jeff. No chebbys for me this week! Working on logging equipment this week. Changed trans in a Pete today. Get to start mounting a log loader on another semi tomorrow. Kind of a pain in the *** though. It has an aluminum frame, so I have to strip everything off the inside of the frame and reinforce with steel. Lots of welding, drilling etc. Oh well, it pays the bills...........Got to quit early today because of a BIG thunder storm with lots of rain and hail. Yesterday we just missed a hail storm with "egg" sized hail. Passed just 10 miles west of us.............

April here was one of the coldest and wettest I can remember, and after a few nice days we're right back to cold and wet again!

At least you get to work in the daylight.......outside!
I am stuck inside a hot box building all night..........never see the stars, sun or moon.....the hours of 7:30 am thru 12:00/1:00 are lost to me for sleep.......I would LOVE to be outside in the daylight, rain or shine!
