I'm replacing the floor pan in my truck today.
Wouldn't you know I run out of MIG blend gas... (the seat and pedal box are out)
My buddy will give me a ride to ABCO in the morning.

You either run out of gas or wire at the worst times.

Inopportune time, but life is good.
I have to just keep plugging away at it.
Stopped at the bodyshop supply last week and thought I had all my bases covered.

Good evening guys.
Glad to hear everyone is doing well.
The weather the next few days should be very nice, enjoy.
I'm just sitting and watching Ice Road Truckers.

I think it's ice cream time.

Evening, Everyone. Picked up a Vermeer 1250 chipper today with a Perkins diesel. Used but in great shape. Can handle up to 12" diameter.

Will hire out chipper + man w/chainsaw for $100/hr with a one hour minimum. Just throwin that on out there.

Will be putting it to good use on Thursday clearing a site in North haven.

Had my mountain bike stolen today. It was a piece of crap. The crank bearings were gone, front derailleur didn't work, tons of rust, rear derailleur sucked needed adjustment all the time. Rusted handlebars, and rear frame part at kick stand, front fork rust. Pedal keeps unscrewing from the crank. Good luck ******* with a ****ty bike, i hope it breaks on you. Sadly this was my only form of transportation at the moment. This bike never worked right even when i got it ten years ago.

Got my friends bike in my garage and my sisters brand new bike she never used, also have my other bike that sucks even worse than the stolen one that i could use. Didn't get my bike computer stolen woooohoooo, I do need new sensors tho.

He needs a bunch of deadwood gone from his back yard.

Alrighty just be aware that I'm currently not equipped to haul the chips away just chip and leave chips on-site.

Need an 08 bed and the dump system off Ray's 7.3 before I can build myself a chip box.
