Popular Post maint1 Posted July 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2014 Going to be going to get this IH and pumps next week, building a Gulf station in the Museum, and it will be part of the display. Won't be able to see any more shows for awhile as my wife isn't doing well. Just working part time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackdog2 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I spent many years of my life working for that company to have my job eliminated after 14 yrs of working there case they wanted to save money and didn't need mechanics Yet they got mechanics again just for a lot cheaper then what we got paid. They should have just got rid of some of the deadwood in the management, however there were some good guys on the Gulf LP side of the fence.Ive left a good job to go back to work for them for third time thinking it was my last job but they run it like a farm.

57 bcr Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Prayers to your wife and you. Hope all goes well. I never did work at a filling station ( I was lucky enough to work in a truck garage!),although many of my friends did. A good place to hang out and help when needed. That was before the garages were converted into C-stores,and bulk oil was available at the island! At least we have the memories, right?
