Glad it helped! If you're wondering why I used a top link instead of just a chain, it's because I can tilt the bucket, (now the plow), forward and put down pressure on the plow to really scrape.

Thats a good idea, I might have to incorporate something like that into the one for dads tractor.

How thick is the plate that you used on your setup?

You'd have to run that it to something pretty darn big to get the 1" plate to bend!

Evening again all.

Nice to see you too.

Been extremely busy at work. They moved the mitsubishi line out of another one of our buildings and moved it into my dealership. So it has just been absolutely crazy.

I'll try to check in more often, for sure.

Just reading a book, darn near about to pass out.


Hope all is well.

Josh

Hey Matt,

Long time no type!!!!

Good news on the interview. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!! Very Cool!!!

I got a call from my old coordinator myself. He is putting in a letter of recommendation for me . Hopefully that will be enough for the board of directors to hire me back. I'm kinda hoping it is just a formality. The wait is driving me CAAAAARAAAAAAZY!!!

Do you know if there are any forensic scientists, or crime lab people on here?

Thanks Wyo, and good luck to you getting hired back! Are you still out east or are you back in god's country now?

Dunno any forensic scientists but I'm sure Chaikwa can interorgate someone for you and get good results!

Sorry dude, lost my internet connection there for a while. Must have been those black helo's!!!!

Ya I am back home. Got here about the 18th. It was good to get home but came back to -28, at least that is when my thermometer gave out!!!

Was good to get back home though, I don't think I could live out there. Those people kinda suck. Everybody seems very angry, no sense of humor either!

Guess maybe I'm just used to livin in the country!!!

LOL. Actually, it DID bend when I welded all the connecting parts onto it. I knew it would and it's bent only 1/4" accross the horizontal face of it, but still...

Morning everyone.

Today is Friday, January 15th.

On this day... nothing happened. My history site is down this morning so no history for you!

alaska is what? four hours behind the east coast? just trying to keep pace with 'daddy do right'(ofc marc)

stiiiiillllllll waiting. driving myself nuts at the moment, so I thought I'd pay bills.

was going to take the splitter out for the pile of stumps we have now, drizzle/rain had other ideas. 30 years of working in any weather means now i don't HAVE to. done my time.

checking in for all you working guys- thought pizza would make a nice scent on the counter....coffee is fresh, albeit in clean pots so the taste might not be what everyone is used to...... meat eaters, veggie, haiwaiian (mmmm) and buffalo chicken wing- hot and ready!!

son got smart (little late) but nice to see him thinking. wanted my 46 *****'s jeep. hubby did not like the top I got on ebay (too much hassle install) soooo he persuaded the young one to blow 1,000 bucks on a top that 'fits'. I am ignored. lot of drilling , bending, frustration - and that was WITH instructions.
son decided to take 2001 VW beetle (blue) and trade it in on a 'economy' car (no payments) in february. very nice gas mileage, comfortable for big men, but someone made a negative comment and he will not drive it anymore (2 years was fine, youngins! sheesh!)

so, secretly, I am thrilled cause i get my jeep back and will put MY top on it. (hard to get Bestop tan or spice color with solid,padded doors- all for 300 bucks total) shhhhhhh! don't tell them I am happy.

heheh heidi
