Yeah. I forgot one of the things that Tyson Foods taught me. "If it don't work then get a bigger hammer." "If I can't fix it then I can fix it so it can't be fixed."

yep

I was asking the lady I was fixing the radio for. Her name is Robin and she is Polish. I was asking what she thought I should do. Basically she told me, "Don't ask me. I am a dumb Pollock." She was smart enough to hold the screws for me though. There was this one screw I was trying to screw in at the bottom of the vent that surrounds the radio and eventually holds the radio adapter that fits inside it. She said she didn't understand mechanics that well but asked me if I thought maybe I should take the screw out that was under the vent cover since the screw I was trying to put in went into the same hole. But I was the one who found the bigger screw that was supposed to go into that hole. She kept trying to go back into the trailer to watch her race car show. She likes watching Nascar. I just can't get into Nascar and watching these cars keep going round and round for hours. I am more of a AB person where the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. But she wanted the radio in so she held the flashlight for me. the funniest part to me, yesterday was after I got the oil drained that Maddie her three year old grand daughter came and stuck her hands in the old oil. Robin had just congradualated her on being a good helper for picking up her toys. So she thought she would come out and help me. Maddie thought the old oil was fun to play in. I think she might make a good mechanic. She isn't afraid to get dirty.

i love Nascar and hope to start driving in a stock car some day

Hi, I am new here. Just wanted to say hi

How do you keep track of all of these threads?

yup as long as its 7up lol

it's not too hard,you just have to learn your way around the site and remember what each thread is listed under

Hi, ret. Welcome to the thread and JSH.

Hey, Jt I can't believe my friend Mike is really going to take his dually to the junkyard and scrap it out. But with the price of gas I guess he really doesn't have an option. It is one of those great big four wheel drive trucks with the king cab. It has a monster engine. I think its a Chevy. He is making 29 bucks a hour with this job that sends him all over the place. He just came back from Wikiki, Hawaia. Said they told him a certain pay rate on wages and renigged on the deal. He was telling me the outrageous price he had to pay to live there on that job. Said the folks he went with didn't care much for that part of Hawaia. I was hearing on the radio the car manufacturers are cutting down on making the big gas gusslers. Had a pretty good day. Wasn't too bad.

how much is the junk yard going to give him for it?i bet i could find someone that would give him more for it than what the junk yard would

I am not sure. He was trying to sell it for 500. I think he is going up to Thomas Barr in Harrison. His wife Tracy and him are making it on unemployment now till he goes out on another job. He is a boiler welder and he gets sent all over the place. I will try to see what they offer him. His wife and him used to work at the nursing home with me but he figured that 29 bucks a hour was more than 9 bucks a hour. He just lives up the road a piece from me. I know he is ready to part with it. I will try to get more particulars on it.

it runs,right?

Yes. It just has the big v8. It is the kind of truck one would have to make money with to afford the gas. He drove up here from Georgia when he first got here about a year and a half ago.

tell him not to take it to the junk yard,i can find a buyer for it!

Ok. I will tell him.
