Popular Post Joey Mack Posted Friday at 12:06 AM Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 12:06 AM Ok.. so now i see why you have to separate them.. A reciprocating saw will make quick work of that. I think someone posted that as well. Glad to see you working on it. I still cant work on my old truck because all of our daily drivers need attention each weekend.. The blazing hot temps here kill my motivation.. Almost forgot... I still work a full time job.. 👍 2 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/70/#findComment-579344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Friday at 01:30 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:30 AM Yeah, weather is the same thing here. I just get up early and get out there today. I had to go to the gym first and then I figured I might as well eat lunch first then it got very hot but I went out and messed with it for a while I’m trying to get them all ready by Monday morning I’ll take them all down 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/70/#findComment-579356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted Friday at 10:29 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 10:29 PM Well, I didn’t get anything done today. Kind of a busy day taking care of other appointments. Sometimes when you have all the time in the world, your body is needed elsewhere for some reason or another all good. Still have to go to two small gathering for two different reasons, I could sneak outside for a little while, but it’s too hot. I didn’t wanna shower and get dressed twice either. I just sit watch television until the old lady gets back here. Happy Friday, fellas. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/70/#findComment-579410 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Friday, fellas. you made it through the day ; which counts out the statement "didn't get anything done today". also took care of other appointments. I'd say you got a lot done today. do what you can while you can. I have a square baler all apart at the moment and had to cut the work day short due to some issues. back tomorrow ?? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/70/#findComment-579418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Well, I never thought of that. Paul seems when I’m working. I don’t really notice it but just standing still I seem to get hotter. That’s very interesting. Took everything to the dump a little while ago. Now I’ve got to do an errand and then come back and mess with my tree Water drip system always something.
