Just post what you got going on day to day. Current thoughts, how many fish you caught, etc.

Just sitting at work right now, chomping at the bit to get out of here. Just found where Alro Steel is here in Lansing and I wanto to look at their drop-shelf. I gotta get my rear suspension finished. The upper A arm is making scary noises.

Also, if anybody knows where there are any jeep 258 engines laying around, let me or Shayne know. Doesn't have to run, but pref. not siezed up or grenaded.

Pre 1990 YJ and of course CJ's and J10's. I have a Miller 140 set for flux core right now.

Those fuel rods ever try to shoot back?








Don... ; )

If you ordered replacements and cut yours out, they make body adhesives now that would be as strong or stronger than welding. It's paintable and helps rust proof the seem. A buddy in Portage adhered the diamond plate onto his International flat bed, tilt body without welding. Welder's available, just tough being across the state.

I've still got that 79 cj5 with the 258, I'd give you a deal on the whole thng. I'd even deliver it if you needed. I'm gonna be in lansing on the 30-31st anyway. The motor does roll over too. you could pull the motor and have shroyers come pick it up for scrap.

Sitting at work this afternoon. One of the afternoon guys had something going, so I swapped shifts for the day. Couldn't have worked out better with storms blowing through now, not much else to do.

Make sure he takes his ring off.

Haven't gotten around to a tat I want yet. In the gulf, the armor battalion I was assigned to were the Black Lions. We had a black heraldic lion (like lowenbrau) on the sides of all the vehicles. In the gulf we added a palm tree behind him. Want to get that on my right shoulder. Right shoulder is where the combat patch is worn.

Ok, thanks. You guys have to do much for the quake yesterday? Sounds like a plant in Virginia went off line for a little bit and went to generator power. Right now listening in on a couple kayakers lost in the U.P. Waiting for fog to clear to send a bird up. Tomorrow's my Friday, can't wait.

Coffee's ready.

My long weekend too. Hour and a half to go. Got chassis savor put on my rear bumper finally, still have to add some pieces to it though. Nuther coat on the front and an oil change. Gonna hopefully start on my rear arms this weekend so I can get the bigger springs on finally. Wanna go to 33's soon so the stroker will have something to do when it gets built. If I get the amrs done, I want to start my tank tuck next.
 
Woo Hoo! I am back, apparently when there is a hurricane hitting where we are working the job gets cancelled. So I am back till next week.
You should head up to R&V next weekend. I'll be there all weekend and I think that there should be a pretty good turnout espescially on sunday.
