Popular Post other dog Posted yesterday at 01:21 PM Popular Post Share Posted yesterday at 01:21 PM I know a man who used to own his own truck, used to build log trailers from the ground up, worked in H.H. Moore's shop for a while. One of the hardest working men I ever knew. If he was working on something at H.H's. and needed a tool or something that was on the other side of the shop he wouldn't just take a leisurely stroll across the shop to get it, he would run. The engine swapping made me think of him. He said when he was young he used to cut pulpwood. He had a Chevrolet pulpwood truck and a Camaro. He said he would cut pulpwood all week, then take the engine out of the truck and put it in the Camaro so he could cruise on the weekend. Then Sunday he would put the motor back in the pulpwood truck. Next weekend, same thing. I don't remember if he eventually got another pulpwood truck, another car, or another motor, but he did that for a while. Hearing that from most anybody else I would have thought "what a total B S. story, nobody did that". But coming from him I didn't doubt it at all. 3 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Of course, its gonna be a while. Im still just a kid.. 🍻 If this will make you feel any better I’m usually full of piss and vinegar when it comes to projects around here But once in a while, I just don’t feel like doing anything but watching TV but everybody’s different. Glad I don’t have to work anymore. If nothing else way too many hours. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/85/#findComment-582741 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else way too many hours. best part of retirement goes with what you stated : glad I don't HAVE to work anymore". going to work (on farm) based on I choose to makes the projects more fun. I take lot of sit down breaks now only due to have no choice when knees let me know it's break time. so a project which should be an hr may take two or more. what can happen ; I'm fired !!LOL 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/85/#findComment-582745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Well, Dave, I had not thought of age. Maybe that’s why these days it seems like it takes a lot longer to do everything than I figured. But yes, I do a lot of sit down breaks also but sometimes they turn into an hour or so but I have no bosses no time limit usually. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/85/#findComment-582767 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as your sit down breaks are NOT in front of the TV or on the computer they are allowed!!!! 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/85/#findComment-582773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take lots of breaks I can go most of the day! 4hrs or so of productivity ! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/85/#findComment-582774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
