Had to come in on my day off, but that means OT.
Probably be home around 5 and then get going on the MS stuff.

My dad was telling me that it's busier now, new project started and no more 9/80. Is that affecting you too?

Likewise. If the damn thing would stop dying on me maybe I'd actually spend some time working on it rather than being pissed at it and working on the car instead.
Hopefully the CAs will get me going well enough for the time being and I can get out sometime soon. Granted that's assuming I either A) find a new job or B) don't get laid off in the next week or two like I half expect might be happening. :laugh3:

Anyone want to help me pick up a giant welder tonight or tomorrow. I have the tow truck but it's like 700 pounds and he doesn't have a fork lift.

I can only imagine the impression I would leave showing up with your comanche and a tow truck and watching you drop my new 700 pound welder from 6 feet in the air off the side of my dad's nice tow truck.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
That's the plan, I'm waiting to hear back from the guy. Hopefully I can do it tomorrow either in the early morning or afternoon after I go pick up and drop off a car. I was thinking just use pipes, I think you said you did that. And just winch it carefully and hope I don't tip it over. Strap it down and then get back to the shop and then ???
I have no idea how I'll move it around the shop. Floor jacks? I've never moved something this heavy around that didn't have wheels or possibly enough space for a floor jack to get under it.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I'm hoping it will just slide off the deck when I get it back to the shop if I just let the winch out. If I can plop it on the floor somewhere out of the way I can borrow a fork lift from up the street. I think I can do it myself, but I don't know for sure. I've got my dad, but he's got his broken ankle, which is fine but he hasn't been lifting 700 pounds around either.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Why not get some casters and slap together a quick cart or dolly out of scrap? I know it's not the cheapest option but long term it's going to be the easiest and you'd only have to borrow the forklift once to get it on there. That's what Danny's welder is on and it works pretty mint.
What machine did you buy?
