Just wondering whats been going on and if anyone I remember is still here.

I have been gone almost 2 years now as I have had MANY changes in my life and way TOO many projects and no time.

Plus the ranger is apart and don't have time or cash to complete the d60/eaton swap.

Took almost 12 months of all my free time to finish my above ground pool and 32ft square deck around it.

Quit my job at Nascote, and started with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and have been working 10-12 hrs per day 6 and 7 days a week with 4 hrs of commuting daily for the last 9 months.

Also have a 3yr only girl that gets every other free moment.


Oh and I have a couple new toys a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 650r in Candy Plasma Blue, and




Hope to be around a little bit more as I am only working 10 hrs a day, 5 days a week, with 2 hrs of commuting.

Happy Wheeling

Long time no see. Glad to see you around again!

Sounds like you're pretty busy, which is a good thing with how the economy is.
