Good morning gang!

What a nice day it is. Looks like the nice weather is here to stay, I guess it is time to put the snow plow away for the season. I dont think we will be getting snow any time soon.

We spent the weekend at the cabin. I hauled 8 pickup loads of leaves out of the yard, Yikes. We still have a few more to rake/haul, but my arms were pretty much rubber after all that raking and hauling so we quit. It was opening fishing this weekend, I did end up going fishing for about a half hour, LOL.

Have a good day everybody!

Morning all! Sounds like you're ready for summer at the lake Ryan!
Speaking of the lake, we have to extend our boat launch ramp this year because of lower water levels. Its a really nice day, so I think we're going to try and get it done. I hope it all works as planned, LOL!
Have a great day on me!!--KEVIN

Morning all... enjoying the peace at work this morning after a hectic weekend. Got home after midnight last night from a busy weekend trip, only to have to get up at 6am today for work.

My favorite part of any buying trip is unloading the trailer, its sort of the 'unveiling' of what I managed to acquire over the course of the trip. But I also have the contractor (that I paid to disassemble an old barn floor for the wood) wanting to deliver all the wood tonight or tomorrow... so I suspect my week will not be any less busy.

Take it easy out there.

Checking in, very nice day and quiet here at work. its been awhile. im in low gear this morn. spent a good 6+ hours yesterday digging through old boxes, containers... somewhat organizing petro odds-n-ends, pump parts etc... kind of like Christmas unwrapping a gift.

stuff like an 861 I must have pulled the faces and bezels off when I got it 20 years ago, there was one bezel here and one buried in there and the faces were over there. so the pump sits without them.?? usually I run like a mad man to make sure every missing piece is ON a pump when I get it. 'complete."

Good to see you checking in Tom. By the way, I have those parts ready for you. I will email you later today.

Cement Truck made it!!! We got it done, and now its a matter of letting it set up and the taking the separate piece that we formed up, and sliding it down the ramp and into place between the end of the ramp and the piece you see out in the water. Hopefully it fits just right, and we don't have to do any jostling around. It will be nice to have the boat ramp operational again.

Good evening everyone! Last full week of school here and then finals the next week so it is a lot of homework to do before the year is up. Gorgeous day here with sun and some thunderstorms. It was quite nice. I hope you all had a good day!

Kevin-what will they use to pick that slab up with? I guess even if it cracks a bit ,its just for the trailer tires. How did the piece thats already in the water get out there? Just curious... Wow I just Googled the lake- it is much bigger than I imagined.
