Been gone awhile
Just checking in to say I'm not dead. I hope everyone is doing okay. I've been working steady midnight shift at my regular job since April 1st and all the hours I can stay awake for at my part time gig. My daughter graduated high school and is getting ready to head off to college in the fall. Not much time to goof off. Been dealing with a bunch of other issues too. Still have my trucks just no time to spend on them right now but that will change come September.

Re: Been gone awhile
Been doing 60 hour weeks myself. Yesterday was the first non-holiday weekend Saturday I've had off since February. Sure felt good!

Re: Been gone awhile
Good to hear from you Clay. Also good to hear you are well. Congrats to your daughter for graduating and best wishes to her in the fall.
I haven't been around here much either. I lost all my subscriptions on the site so I am pretty much out of the loop after following some threads for a few years. Heck, this thread is an old timer's reunion of sorts.
