Popular Post mowerman Posted September 28 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 28 Thanks for the cheers brothers. I feel like I just got out of solitary confinement lots of time to play with the DM now. Fixing on diving. On that thing I was planning on staying with Fedex working the dock part time in the morning, but they don’t have a position for me right now so I told him give me a shout when you get a spot open extra play money for East Coast truck shows they said they would be calling me soon. They will have part-time forklift driver work pretty soon, but yes, it’s nice to be free of those long hours for at least a few weeks. It will be DM ha ha my puppies will be happy. I am here for them all day. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74587-hollywood-last-day/#findComment-559141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Have a ball enjoying the free time Bob! I expect it to be a bit unexpectedly to find out you're not going that same path to the job place every morning and should look for an affair or two to put your attention to instead. But I'm sure you will get used to that state of things really soon. And that part time involvement with the fork lift or another job seems as is a good idea. Just don't remember DM's waiting getting dust on! 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74587-hollywood-last-day/#findComment-559145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 I’m fixing on pulling off the fuel lines Monday and running them down to the hydraulic shop. That thing won’t start at all right now and it’s driving me crazy if nothing else I can’t move it around to where I like to sand it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74587-hollywood-last-day/#findComment-559161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Thanks for that Bob yes, I am already ready to spend a lot of time on that Mac all day every day. I should have at least the nose pretty much cleaned up ……next. I’m gonna start on the transmission and the exhaust by that time it’ll be too cold to work.

mowerman Posted September 29 Author Share Posted September 29 First day off at Saturday forever from here on, and I’m even thinking about telling Fedex goodbye altogether the choice may be mine I just heard it tap into your 401(k) if you start working while you’re collecting it these greedy pigs got you coming and going.
