Did you see Paul's video? We're getting hit right now with a good storm. The news just said Moab is flooding right now.... might get a few mud videos from Matt soon.

 

Final pics of the install....

 

Hell, that's a gap. I can easily drop a 10mm socket past that. I drop enough of them. LOL

 

This is gonna be good.

BTW, what part of Virginia are you in? Not looking for your address, just wondering if I'll ever see that great truck on the road or at a show sometime.

 

Good morning thinkers!- hope you have a great day!- the last two days have kicked my ****!- 15 hrs. Tues., 16 hrs. Wed.- time for more coffee!!- gotta run fellers!!

 

Good morning to you also.

15 to 16 hrs in a paper mill? You are better then me.

A long time ago I worked for a company that fixed cranes. There is a paper mill in Franklin, VA. It is hot on the production floor. It is unbearable on the house cranes. It was ~120F and 90% humidity up there. They pump heat up there to prevent condensation on the ceiling. Work 15 to 20 minutes then come down and stand in front of the man coolers. This was before portable air coolers are widespread. And the awful smell.
And I was an electrician, I felt pity on the welders who were up there in leathers.

A couple years ago, the place I work at now was requested to bid on a job in Jacksonville installing safety systems on there cranes. As I had experience on cranes and mills, guess how got the all expense paid trip to Jacksonville. Anti-sway, zone controls, collision prevention, how long do you think that will last before the maint. people bypass that stuff? I figure first shutdown.
Even worse there. After going up on the cranes and getting pics and stuff it felt like walking into AC when I walked out of the building into 95F and Florida humidity.

I guess someone has to do it though.

 

Hey AK, 2 things.
1. Did you feel the quake and did it have any effect on you?

"Hell, that's a gap. I can easily drop a 10mm socket past that. I drop enough of them. LOL"
2. Why don't they sell 10 packs of 10mm sockets. It's always the 10mm that gets lost/stolen/whatever. They should come in packages like Phillips #2 bits.

 

Quake? Now I gotta go look at the news.

10mm socket sets? All china stuff but they are out there.

I'm near Richmond! Chesterfield to be exact

 

I lived in Chester a few years back. My daughter and son in law live in my old house there still. I still get up that way at least once a week to see grandkids (or just be a busybody).
Nice place to live but started getting a little crowded for my country self.
Hopefully I'll see that sweet ride of yours on the road one day.
