as the weather improves....
I actually do have a life!! It was just put on 'hold' till last monday!! With the arrival of spring, came 'spring fever', and the activity that had been tabled..
I spent last saturday on the tractor prepairing for the arival of the new 10,000#, a -sym, lift!! And the building that will cover it! We have to get ready for a concrete pour, and the block laying, so the guys that install the building have a place to put it!! I had to get a tire repaired on the loader, FIND all the tools I havn't used since the last 'pour' 4 years ago, and make all necessary arangements.. I had to get the electrician down here for an estimate, order a new garage door and windows etc etc!! All that said,, there will be an 'absence' of subi-crosser, till all this stuff is 'in the can'. Ordered the new spool gun, to give the mig aluminum capibilities, and look forward to the busiest summer of my LIFE!!! I will continue to 'LURK' and will throw out a little 'sage advise' from time to time.. BUT, the rest of the time, I am going to be throwing sparks, mud, rubber,putty dust, and hopefully NOT parts into the air!! (last year, I threw some yellow fiberglass, but will try not to do that again)!!! I am registered for the saturday auto-cross in cumberland, (mothers day weekend). I don't have any idea which subi will go with me, but one of them will be there!!! Might even have to be Tom's 'tire warmer', for the supercharged SVX!!! I might even work in a little sleep!! Jerry

got up at 5:45 am, packed daughters lunch, woke daughter, and hauled her to school. Went to local (non-discount) parts house and ordered a 'hen's tooth', a waterpump for a Continental 6 on a 1952 fork lift. Next I went to the insurance company that handles Grundy antique ins and bought some coverage for the yellow truck on my pic. As I was setting there, the shipping co called about the lift... I left where-ever it is coming from today, and will arive on fri or monday! I went to the supply company ( NOT LOWES, OR ANY OTHER BIG NAME- LOW QUALITY outfit)!!!!that had ordered my garage door, and gave them a 'wish list' for tomorrows delivery. I then went to SVX files shop for a short visit. (I spent all day saturday on the ol' Case front loader moving dirt, so the concrete guys could do their thing..) I then went to the electritians place and paid him for the necessary up-grades to the old shop, so we could hook the new shop up. I then ordered the blocks, sand, moarter, re-bar, gravel,Wood for the forms and 'retained' a block layer...I jumped back on the Case for a while, and then I took a 45 min nap, and went to work for 8 hours! It is very tired out, I think I will fall down for a few hours!!! Jerry PS, ( it's a secret), SVX's are 'leaking' onto my farm, Could this be the beginning of a new '4:44 swap-stop?????You know, that would break my heart!!!

I hope I have that kind of energy when I grow up. I guess I just need some tools and alot of broken stuff, then Ill be set
Oh...If your MIG welding aluminum...Hopefully it isnt anything that holds a heavy load. Prettymuch every aluminum MIG weld I've seen was either broken or damn near it. Sometime down the road yo might want to invest in a TIG welder, if your doing alot of aluminum work

It's Christmas morning!! The CEMENT truck will be coming in 6 hours,The forms are in, and the re-bar in place and I can't sleep!!!! Saturday nite, I parked the loader about 7:30 pm, got off, sat on the wall next to the 'scene' where building number 2 goes, and WentTo Sleep sitting up! It was about an hour later that the 'night time birds song' made me realize that I should try going to bed!! I went to bed at 9 pm tonite, so the night would pass faster, but it only worked till 1:30am, Jerry

I care too, Jerry.
You're in oldtown, you're 90 some miles from me...like Tom said, you could be one of my options. Because you have the garages, most importantly you have a lift there! Because I think I myself have broken up with the Red Hill Auto Center...on the 3 repairs, spent like thousands and thousands of dollars, I didn't have any great experiences.(the last worst thing on the last swap was my tranny drain plug WAS hand-loose - dripping tranny fluid......) I don't think I was treated fairly enough on some events and they're not being friendly enough...heck, I just didn't want to give a scene there because I'm drivng a subaru, I'm driving SVXi, I want to represent my color, my race, I'm responsible...I'm trying to be nice even in the not happy situations for those reasons and alot of reasons....heh-heh, don't hijack your stuff... but, like tom said, the pictures worth millions of words. If I'm free and/or at Tom's place, I would like to visit your place...

I'll be making my shop (s) available to Tom for all other Subi-related things!! The campfires and camping are 'complimentary', IF the campers bring beer, marshmallos, hotdogs, and occasionally, GOOD STEAKS!!! We KNOW how to 'respect' a really good cut of meat, and the proper handeling of such items!! Delmonico, NewYork strip, etc are NOT wasted on us!!! Stop by!!! Grand opening is set for June 1'ST', unless we can get rid of the deadwood before Memorial weekend!! Then we will party on that weekend, and let the 'formal' opening for the next week!!! Been spinning our wheels for 10 years, this is the first "spring" worth celebrating!!!! Jerry
