A lot of hours and years to get there. I worked it a union shop so that helped get me out earlier.

I've got a LONG way to go...

Gotta finish up the exhaust pipe, weld my front seats back together, I need to patch a few holes in the floor board so I can rhinoline the floor, weld up a rear bumper and incorporate a receiver hitch, I also need to complete my front bumper.

I've also been thinking about adding a humvee cowl intake tube.

 

[Tydeeh22]

I need to tear my truck apart as well. Ugh. Warm weather is required.

...assuming you started working at 16 years old...you're now 107?

 

[GregD]

Interesting math.
Better back the number down Jagee, while working in a trade you can also be a union rep.

 

[Tydeeh22]

New plug wires. Cap. Drain and refill xfer case oil. Adjust the shoes on the rear end. Change out the resistor pack on the blower motor. Headlight switch.

Yup!!! I age well!!! Actually I'm 53. Started laying brick at 19, started in the mills at 23. Union official at around 26.

I figured there was some sort of overlap, but I just went with straight addition. Added them all up plus 16.

So you laid brick and worked in the mills at the same time?

Got that right Greg. Been through many contract talks. Glad I'm done with them! Let the young ones do it now!

 

[GregD]

People think being a rep is easy, they are so wrong!

 

[jagee]

(Side note: Finally getting my new tattoo tonight. Scheduling conflicts and the weather have delayed it, but tonight should be a go )

Yes sir,, won't be long and I'll just be laying around the pool!!

 

[jagee]

Sounds like you've earned that.

 

[Tydeeh22]

Is it break time yet?

 

[jagee]

Is it break time yet?

Break? I haven't done anything to take a break from...

 

[GregD]

I've got a couple of errands to run.
Hope you all have a good morning and stay warm.

 

[jagee]

See ya, Greg
