This is a story about choices. I went to high school with Jan. She was an absolute star girl. Smart, pretty, chaiste and well raised. She got involved with a bad boy. Everyone had a fit. Typical nice girl/bad boy thing. It ended and she moved on, made better choices. Knocked it out of...

Who has had high speed shaft balancing done and how did it work. I have a vibe around 60- feels driveline generated with George’s 5:38 gears. Ready to dial in this rig. Thanks Andy

This is not the whole story, but it pretty much summarizes why I let a painter go- During one of his epic five hour workdays, this painter told the electrician if he could not take care of the writing around this outlet cover that day he would come back the next day even though it was 30 miles...

Yep, straight from corporate. Sales go to charity it looks like. And what am I doing at Arbys at 11:09 pm? Oh boy.... I ‘ll post in a sec - After a long day, that was after a long night I put gas and ran my 6.7 turbo diesel- potentially a very costly mistake. My dead 250

This may be a little bit of Groundhog Day but I can’t help but want to put this into words again- I have two workers who are faithful talented and accomplished finish carpenters and cabinet builders. I love them. The odd thing is usually people like this are generally very together people. I’m...
