Wake up Guru's its time to hit the bricks.....today I get to drive a truck which will be fun for awhile.....actually Im teaching a driver who only drives our 18A the finer points of shifting a 13M tranny. I will start him out double clutching but will get him to float the gears as soon as possible. Don't hurt Lola is what I start out with.......

Dang it.....Christmas is coming and I am so not ready......maybe I will just skip it this year......yeah right....

I get to drive my truck tonight.....first time in 8 days.

Eaton now builds a 13 with synchronizers.

WHO HAS NOT? AS IT FITS THE SOCIALIST NARRATIVE THE MEDIA WAS ALL OVER IT. THE "ASSOCIATED PREVARICATORS", WITH THEIR USUAL REGARD FOR FACTS, TRUMPETED HIM AS AN "ACTIVE SHOOTER". AS NO SHOTS WERE FIRED BY ANYBODY THIS IS A BIT OF A STRETCH.

SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PLOY TO GET ATTENTION AND FURTHER A DISABILITY CLAIM: "SEE, I REALLY AM CRAZY, GIVE ME MONEY."

MORE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TODAY, THE LIST IS BEING WHITTLED DOWN---

Asina ría!

Been stuck on a conference call for about 90 minutes, and they're still flapping their gums. Oh, joy!

Have a good one, yawlz!

Gris: Active Shooter means he could shoot at any moment and is brandishing what is believed to be a loaded weapon in a crowded public place. Defined by a cop friend of mine as "Active Shooter: An individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area!!"
They take the route to err on the side of safety for all when issuing warnings. His most recent FB post was as follows:
Need Assistance ! Have Federal Judge "John Goree" of Social Security Administration mis-stating, changing n falsifying medical records documented over 22 times!!! Have multiple Civil Rights Violations of Federal Workforce, Arkansas University and several Arkansas Dept. of, all resulting from 8/22/12 accident at A.S.U. Newport!! Have multiple Malpractice/Ethics/Misconduct of Medical and other Professionals also all documented!!! NO ONE will even read much less touch or help due to FEAR OF GOVERNMENTAL consequences!!! Told multiple professionals and people in State of Arkansas I AM SUICIDAL and now HOMICIDAL, which is what appears they want so problem goes away, thought I would DIE from injures or kill myself by now!!! Any and ALL assistance as well as passing this on to everyone you know would be appreciated!!! This story is True, Documented and does not need to covered up, but put into the Light. MY DEATH should not and will not end the TRUTH!!! I already died twice as result of accident, if necessary let my last DEATH be for a purpose!!! Let the TRUTH and JUSTICE be shown. IF NOT IN THIS LIFE, SURELY IN THE NEXT! GOD BLESS n PROTECT US ALL!!!
He's an idiot. The classic example of people's perception of 'loose cannon redneck'...
Anywho - body shop owner is off having surgery this morning and left me here to keep the shop open and see to things. Supposed to have a gal coming to help me with some stuff but I don't figure she'll show up. Rainy and ugly here today but at least it's quiet for now...
Hope you all have a happy Friday...

Good Morning CGs!

Got the kids up and washed. They will be off to school soon.

Don't know what the plans are today.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I USUALLY RESORT TO JEWELRY, BUT THIS YEAR DARLING WIFE WANTS CASH. SHE USED TO GET A LITTLE ROYALTY MONEY; THIS WAS HER "BUTTER&EGG MONEY" TO FRITTER AWAY AS SHE CHOSE, BUT SINCE OIL TANKED THAT HAS ABOUT DISAPPEARED AND SHE WANTS TO REPLENISH.

SO I BOUGHT A NICE CRISTAL PITCHER AND FILLED IT WITH WADDED UP MONEY. THE FAMILY WILL GET A KICK OUT OF IT WHEN SHE OPENS IT AND SHE WILL FUSS OVER HAVING TO FLATTEN OUT THE BILLS.

CHRISTMAS IS FUN :-)

Well that did not work out as planned.....got to where I was to fill with grain and the auto tarp did not work....so couldn't open the tarp.....messed with it and finally brought it back to town and took it to the tarp fix it shop.....it had kicked out a relay switch .....

Flipped it on and everything worked great......and also learned you can go to manual mode if the motor does fry....and there is a handle mounted up underneath that I did not even know about....

Its a character building day.....I am becoming such a character....and its pissing me off....

AND THERE'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COP DEFINITION AND A BUREAUCRAT/MEDIA DEFINITION. COPS TEND TO DEAL WITH THINGS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. THE MEDIA LIVES BY SELLING EXCITEMENT. "IF IT BLEEDS, IT LEADS."

WENT TO MUSKOGEE TO RUN ERRANDS. HALF OF THE THINGS THAT WERE TO BE "READY ON FRIDAY" WEREN'T. THESE FOLKS THAT THINK THE DAY DOESN'T START TILL NOON DISTURB MY TRANQUILITY.

Marcus ..... How about a Proctor and Gamble Gift Card? Discount messages at Happy Ending Oriental Massage Parlor or Annual Pass to the nearest zoo, aquarium or museum. Just one annual pass, for her.

Those ideas have some merit Tommy......meanwhile....

Janis we hardly knew ya.......

A MAJOR STEP FORWARD HAS BEEN MADE: THE CHRISTMAS TREE HAS BEEN BOUGHT AND IS BECOMING ACCLIMATED IN THE GARAGE BEFORE BECOMING AN INDOOR TREE.

AND YES, MATTHEW, I DID CHECK FOR SPIDERS :-)

I wasn't worried about spiders. I was more curious whose front lawn you cut it down in?

Lots done today. Looks like we are in for some major changes weather-wise. Much cooler tomorrow and snow starting early Sunday morning and going through most of the day.

I got three cabinets designed, cut out and assembled today, along with fabricating a vanity top with an undermount sink. hoping to get them far enough along where I can get them out for stain and finish and paint....two separate jobs and I don't have to finish either one, that's the kind of building I like.
