Where is everyone?

There's plenty of logging companies by your place, plus you could go work for that AWESOME Fleetwood company....... just kidding LOL

 

I'll be right along there with ya, working till the 20th most likely to make as much $$$ as I can and take 2 weeks off from X-Mas to New Years most likely.

I'm off all this week, and I'm already getting stir crazy, I've cleaned the truck and fixed a few things. Cleaned out the garage and even got the boat and cars put up for winter. Now I'm just sitting around doing nothing, bored as heck.

 

Now I REALLY feel sorry for you. I absolutely HATE that strech of I-35 from Carls Corner to the south of San Antonio. Nothing but a-holes and traffic jams for no apparent reason. May god have mercy on your soul during this holidy travel

 

the logging companies are almost all bankrupt. the mills are closed down. there isnt a mill open within an hour of me except one specialty mill. three years ago there was three within spitting distance. the germans are currently building a pellet mill but it has yet to be determined how many local jobs it will produce. personally i am expecting a large german imigtation to the area.

umm ya, fleetwood. nuff said

 

St cloud, MN working my side job selling nuts and bolts then off to my deer stand in WI for the next 4 days. Sounds like im hooking onto the flat and headed for Gillette, WY Monday morning.

 

$1000 for fan clutch and hub, parts only. how is anyone supposed to make a living? guess i will be running it another few weeks before i replace it

 

You do know that Mercer gets a discount from MHC Kenworth. Is that for new or a rebuild kit? Depending on how bad it is I would be very carefull with waiting to replace it, I have heard of them coming apart and taking out a radiator.

 

I had the same thing happen to my old MXS CAT. The hub got noisy and I took it to MHC in Nashville. They took it apart and had to cut the old hub off. It was in bad, bad shape and they said I was lucky it didn't go flying thru the radiator and the hood. It cost me $850 to have it rebuilt and that included parts and labor. Shop around cuz $1,000 for parts is pretty steep

 

Sitting in silver grove ky behind about 15-20 trucks waiting to get my load back north so I can get through the house.

I hate to stay out for a month having a 5 week old child but I like money and with those 2 short weeks for Christmas and new years, I need to make up for that lost time. I also tend to do better every week I stay out from home so I guess I might be able to get my M4 for Christmas after all!
