    Lighten the mood

    There’s a business down the street from my house that has a marquee that they put funny quotes on it. Right now it says: “It takes courage for a man to admit when his wife is wrong.” Good for you man. Good for you.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    The painter left everything in the engine bay when he painted it, except the engine. The coil, random fuses, the horn. All thing that were no longer needed or would be replaced.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Finished up the chassis today and dropped the body back on. I guess I didn’t take a finished picture. I’ll get one. This thing is no peach. The definition of a 50 footer. 😕 I’m tired of offering advice on the right way to build it. We’re leaving the 50 years of mud/rust/grease that covers the...

    How would you repair this? Weld/Fab on excavator bucket

    I've done many, many bucket repairs in the field. Can't say I've ever used AR plate. Do like you said, get the Cat wear strips and weld them horizontal with the spacing the same width of the wear strip. What you posted is right, the dirt fills in and acts as a cover and protector. You'll get...

    I just opened a Roth IRA, and am ready to invest in the stock market

    Just thinking about money this morning. I have accepted a new position here in AZ and will be starting it in April. For the last two years here working at my brother-in-laws business I have not added to my 401k. It is still in place with my old company in Utah. The new company I will be working...
