Morning Greg! Al....Doc!

Yup = cold here too. 27 degrees right now. But it's calm and sunny. Should warm to the 40s I would imagine.

Wow Greg......that's some serious cold right there. We've had it pretty good here - been up in the 70s and just these few past days have been cold. Yesterday it made it to 40, but was windy. We'll see what today brings but starting Saturday we're supposed to be back into nicer weather.

For all the complaining we Northerners do about the weather, it's really not that bad. I've ridden a few times each month this year, and so far in April I probably have about 800 miles in. Can't complain.

Yea I had to jack fit the steel and I was out of french fries. You do about a 3 second tach weld and hit it twice with a 16 lb sledgehammer. It sucked the 3/8 plate to the base steel. A pain but makes for a tight fit. A French fry is a wedge that you drive through a loop to suck up the steel.

Mornin Bob, Russ, Lou. Lou....Buckets, Loader frames, ripper frames are not fun. Done my time welding up pin bosses then aligning the boring bars & cutters and spending hours bringing everything back into alignment and specs. Not a fun way to spend your time.
