Another consideration I am having in as much as the neighbor decided to be pushy on not allowing a set off of 8 acres is to build a slab/crawlspace house in that valley and for now make a rental property of it
Would stick in his craw every morning he got up and every evening as watched lights in it |

Damned Shameless machine!! Besides the snow and now expected 4-12" MORE of the stuff been bitter cold here. Unheated shop side slid below freezing, had a leftover partial cup of water was using for sanding froze sitting on a front tire. Fluorescent lights not liking it where are about half level lighting even left on for a time. Either gonna have to break down and set up some form of heat or just continue to lay low and await a thaw. Not much getting done but scheduling.

Weather just starts to change better and TADA, furnace(HP) Dies, service call by shop that installed it, NEVER seen what is doing and had to go back for test equipment. Gets back meter will not connect to this unit as Pre data stream capable, house is down to 60F. Reaches in to check for any manual resets on Pressure switches and wire falls away from connector, broken but sitting where should have been. PHEW!! a Easy Fix!! Next up right Hearing aid decides to Quit taking a charge, so back to ENT audiologist, only had this set five months so PHONAK agrees to extend warranty to cover as had ended 12/31. ALSO offered a Warranty Extension for TWO Years for same price as would have charged for the two batteries this turn around. At least came out ahead for once.
Took L fuel tank and engine oil pan down to car wash and pressure washed as much as could get Inside and Out. Began sanding corrosion layer of tank so can polish it back up. R Tank still at welders being crack repaired, not on urgent list.

Had these PHONAK devices for a year and half now, they are not so much basic amplifiers but actually target tone levels I have issues with, actually work well when working. Be two weeks should be back, and extended warranty into Feb 2023. Were pricey buggers when got them, my costs close to $4k

Well,I been needing hearing aids since,,,,well, when I graduated,,a bunce of us volunteered to the Navy under the Buddy-Buddy plan and all the girlfriends and families had a BIG sendoff in town where they bused us to Albuquerque for Physicals. Well,, after failing the friggin hearing test 3 times,,,the base commander told me they was gonna send me home,,,,This was in Oct of 1965 and the Vietnam War was just getting all out!!!! I guess it was my good fortune,,,,,, I do have a pair of over the ear aids for hunting Elk,,but I don't like em for here ,,,,cause that world out there is too friggin loud,,,!!!!

Warmed enough to get some aspects closer to done. Cleaned off floor as will be Thursday before remaining door internals here, measured ONE MORE time Cut floor shifter hole and two furthest internal seat mounting bolt holes installed floor mat, all the under dash components shift boot and pedal assemblies. removed mattress and bunk false floor readying to change the sleeper boot finish cleaning out the sleeper under compartments and determine what small parts are needed here. With boot seal changed can fully install seats and shift impetus back to engine as cluttered floor space will be freed back up with access to areas of workbench back bare. Most of the small tooling can also return to the box.

Getting further but have slowed CONSIDERABLY, as have set myself up success yet again.
Local Contractor has had their OVER Share of grief last several months, Unable to replace retirees, lost one driver to Covid(Passed Away), and just well below any level of MINIMUM for operations day to day. So as a Generous Person I am, called to give condolences and to offer my use IF SHOULD HAPPEN to be able to use a Older Retiree and try to keep it under my SSI limit as to Part Time. So that was several weeks back, Last week he called on a Saturday and asked if what I had stated I really meant or was just being kind, a few moments later I had my start date of Tuesday3/2 !! Rode with a young pup(Nephew to owner) he evaluated my truck operating and functionality with machines then set me on my own on a demolitions job. Hauling busted concrete to one place, raw dirt or loose rock fill another and organics as stumps to yet another. Performed that two days then ran escort duty for the excavator haul from that site to another, next day escort duty to haul a D6H same location both times gave up escort pickup to operator and returned the lowboy to the yard. Hauled quarry stone and lime tailings, hauled #1 mined clay to a service that uses it to produce products for home use of it. Off yesterday, then YET AGAIN volunteered to be second truck for the fella that hauls out of the clay pit for a early start quick half day this MORNING!! Proved myself running a 963B loader Thursday and loaded the trucks first thing this morning, practice. Did still get a little more accomplished on the Beast!! Found a Used Bunk Heat/AC assembly, coming UPS next week(Vander Haag's KCMO) then got boot seal cover Underside cleaned and in then seats set in cab, Right Seat is fully fastened down, awaiting a bulkhead fitting to finish assembly of Left Side. These are the machines I have been running Bucket is Three+ yards heaped, like running a CTL on Steroids!! the spoil pile is the Mined Clay 'Stone'. Been a 'Interesting week' for a Almost Retired Retiree!! |

Inner Door panels back on, awaiting some trim screws for the outer inside door panels. Then attacked the Sleeper AC/Heat box, KNEW was a issue just uncertain as to how much as the cores were loose to the floor. Is just a Taste Beyond my Fabricobble capabilities!!! Do have a Clean Used assembly on the way from Vander Haag's in KCMO.

This bunk as is typical of the line is a 42" depth, uses a standard extra long single mattress as would buy for a house bed. The old 'Coffin Bunks' were 28" or 30" depending of the make truck.

My son has a IH tri axle like the one truck you pictured, yes I would keep it part time as 6 days a week would make for a tired man. The KW is looking good.
