    That means ya got trouble. Rod bearings wear out on the top,main bearings on the bottom. As far as wristpin clips,I always put them where the sharp part to the bottom,so it doesn't tear you,or the next guys fingertips off when you're pulling the piston out of the sleeve next time!
    I've never done it,but I heard of old cheapskates way back when,before water filters,Nalcool,etc.,pulling their Cummins sleeves up,rotating them 90 or 180,and shoving them back in. Get a little more wear out of them,getting cavitated on a different area.

    You probably have someone in-house that does take-offs and builds surfaces. With our stream channel work the 3D surface is provided to us by the engineers. I ought to send you the files for our current project. You and your GPS guys might get a kick out of what we build! Hmmm, not sure if Top Con and Trimble use the same file format though......they probably don't play well together.

    Glad to hear you two fellas are talking about how awesome the OLDSKOOL power is still getting the job done now. Masts.
    Capturing the force of the wind and channeling it to do the work we want it to do. Gotta love sail power. Aye.

    I thought the new stuff was all infernal combustion. Glad to see it's not.

    My FIL got diagnosed with ALS last week. He’s 87. Very old to be catching a diagnosis like this. They say you have about 18 months from when it starts to when you go. His symptoms started last November.
    Man.
    Hard times.
    I know what I’d do.
    Lot more to their situation n what happens to my lady’s mother afterward.

    If any of y’all are the praying type, I’d appreciate some prayers over the situation.

    That Country Up North.

    I've used that one before. Many times. Like I always do. It's a variation of the old Ohio State coach Woody Hayes quote. He couldn't bring himself to say Michigan because of the rivalry, so he'd say " that school up north " instead.
