What did you get done today??

Well, let's see.

Got up, always a challenge. Heck, even managed to get dressed!

Went to work. Assisted in hand unloading a 1145 piece truck. So far, average.

Got home, did some yard work.

Did my schoolwork. Wrote a three page essay on the events of 9/11 for a Fundamentals of Writing course I have to take.

Conquered Ireland, Scotland, and a good portion of France. (Medieval II Total War ROCKS!)

Oh yeah, check into the forum, and wrote this!

Slow day, all in all.


Oh, and spent about an hour outside plinking targets with my little BB gun...cause a guy has to relax ONCE in awhile, right?

 

Went to work started helicoiling some bolts on an ism oil filter base pulled radiator out of Pete 379 started recoring it with a 6 core did some a/c work started putting a clutch back in and worked on putting a cam in a cummins don't you just love bouncing around lol beats sitting at the house getting ready to fl home and see my girls hope everyone has a good and safe night

 

The poor, poor comma. Some, people, overuse, it,. And some people completely and totally ignore it.

Oh yeah, periods are nice, too. Makes it much easier to read a sentence, with a single thought, instead of whatever this is.

 

I guess that's what happens when your just a dumb mechanic I guess if I had time to sit on my ### at home in front of a computer I would take the time to wright it properly instead of busting someone else's balls bet you wouldent bust my balls to my face

 

1st - Got my son started on his home schooling.
2nd - had customer waiting for me to check his truck out. He had one bad injector and one weak injector so I removed those and replaced them. 60 series in a classic (Easy) : ) Fixed an air leak on it that I heard when I backed it out of the shop.
3rd - Replaced a mounting gasket on a Mack for the air compressor
4th - Troubleshot a FRO transmission my brother took out and found the synchro was shot. Removed the back off of another trans to see if that one was ok but it was not so installing new synchro.
5th - brake adjustment on a truck
6th - came home and cut grass then ate supper and now I am browsing while I look over my son's school work.

 

On Saturday I picked up a Honda EU3000is generator and a portable AC unit to use until I get the rooftop unit. Got the ac unit a home where it is secure.
Sunday was brackets/shelf/cover day. Got it all mounted up secure enough that I can jump on the brackets and support shelf and it doesn't move. Can change the oil and get to the pull starter if needed. Generator is a little higher on the frame rail than my boxes, allowing easier access to the underside of the truck.
Monday, removed it all, painted everything, made a door, and got it all buttoned up so to speak.
Left home Monday afternoon after the kids got home from school, then headed up to Cat in Aurora,Il.
Today, loaded a 966K in Aurora and am currently parked in Nevada,Mo.
And thankfully the "spelling and grammar police" aren't around to be picky anymore..... Thank you Bullhaulerswife!

For what it's worth, I would rather deal with a true mechanic than the all too common parts swappers around these days. My hat goes off to you Sir.
