Ok Day.

Today was kind of a long day. Got up and went to work, Traffic was terrible.   There was a turned van in the median.  It had a baby on board sticker in the window I hope that everyone was OK.  There was police and ambulance already there.

When I got to work,  I grabbed my harness and box and went to the man lift and took it up to the fourth floor where “O” and I have been working.  We are between columns 6 and 7 and the brick is off 1 1/2″ in 4′, and the stud work is off by at least 1/2″.  To do my layout is about impossible.  So after about an hour and a half i got it as it is going to get. 

So “O” and I started putting up our panels.  Once we got the left bay done the second bay went really well.  Trying to find our flashing was kind of a pain.  All the flashing was gone from the second floor and third floor so I had to go back down to the ground and opened a few crates and had to dig out some more.  The problem is that i got into the crate for the third building.  My foremen cant find the extra flashing for the building I’m in right now so he will have to order more so we don’t run short in the third building.

Found out today that in about a month that we are going to from 6/10’s to 4/10’s and some of us are going down to the new area for the pitts pens.  Weneed to do a prelayout for when we get there in late summer early fall.  That there is about a years worth of work, at least. 

After work today, “O” was going to pick up his new bike. He got a Harley.  He was like a kid in a candy store.  He was trying to decided what helmet would match his bike the best.  It was so funny.  Between doing layout on our panels and him thinking about his bike all day,  it was just funny day.

Speaking of “O” He just texted me and he made it home safe and sound and says that he loves his bike.  Congrats to you and I hope you enjoy!  Cant wait to see it tomorrow at work.  If its not raining. <LOL>

Well I talk to my wife a little bit today.  She had so much to say today.  We got mail at the house today that we have been waiting for three weeks.  So we have to do that and get it sent back in.  She had several conversations today from other friends that we haven’t heard from lately.  And then when I was getting dinner tonight she called me and said that the front window in the front door was broke.  My father in law was going to go over and take a look at it for me so they would be safe until I got home.

I’m not going to be able to get home tomorrow. I have to work late, So im going to go home Thursday night. Cant wait to get home and see my little man, and my wife. She has been waiting to make me a new dish, eggplant parmesan.   Ive never heard of the dish but ill try anything. 

My wife is calling, so ill post more later.

I was asked to day to do a post about the Ford Focus RS8, So check back soon.

WOW! Watch Out!!

Wow, what a day. It was so nice today. It was 87outside and sunny. I got up a 4am to drive down to Pitt’s for work and it was 67 out. When I got to work the parking lot in front of our work trailer was full. So I had to park four rows away. It was so nice i really didn’t mind.

We had 6 new guys start today. Our ground man had school this week so we had to get a replacement for this week. The guy there today was doing OK for his first day on the job.

On a diffrent note, did you seen the race on sunday?! WOW! Watch Out!!Carl Edwards had a huge comeback, and then a huge wreck only yards away from the finish line so he got out of his car and ran across the finish line. Now that is commitment. Only if we all had that kind of dedication to our jobs.! He did a great job for Ford.

What a driver. To go thou all that and still get out of the car and run over the finish line.

After work I came home, In Pitt, and took a nice cold shower. After that i ate home made ribs. Once again, WOW! I ate so much its not funny. After dinner i went into town for wipes for the baby. Then back home to talk to my wife.

Over the weekend i was talking to a Ford Rep about a diesel ford focus or a focus hybrid. He asked me if i would be interested in an electric Ford Focus. Sure why not? Looks good and is earth friendly, not to mention that the mileage is awesome. Check it out. Ford Electrified Vehicle.
Support your domestic leader!

I hope that I get a chance to be part of Ford in some way. Being part of the future would be awesome.

Well only 6 days left untill the dipper party!! We cant wait to see everybody. All of our family is going to be there and our closest friends. We will have a ton of food and a keg. ( not for my wife of course.) I’m so excited for my new son to arrive. After the party we are going to remodel two of the bedrooms and enclose the porch. So I have a lot to do in three months.

Well thats all for now. Ill keep you up to date.

PS Fords Fusion Hybrid is at 1197 so far on one tank of gas and still going. Watch for more updates….
And don’t forget Rebuild them don’t Cruch’em

Working Very Well

Today at work went great. So much better then yesterday. I was kinda dreading going to work this morning because of all the problems that we had the day before.

When we started work today, “O” and I stepped back and looked at what we were doing. Then we noticed that its not what we were doing, but that the carpenters that installed the metal studs did not place then in the right place.

The two carpenters that installed them thought that a quarter inch didn’t matter. Well As Iron workers installing panels that need to be within a 16Th’s of an inch, it matters

So when we moved there studs to where they needed to be our panels went up great. We got 2 and a half bays done, In 8 hours.

Hope that Monday goes as well.
