Hey Team,
Sorry I can't respond as quickly as you'd like. I'm running 100 employees currently. They seem to keep me busy. Oh yea, hauling a Siamese Twin D8 up to Oregon two weeks ago and Mary Ann up there last week took some time too. Oops... Forgot about the MVPA. Had to haul 9 tanks there and go to the show today. On my spare time I am redoing the front yard. Shucks... Forgot about the 250' wall I just built in the back yard. It only took every available second I had to knock down and compact 1200cyd I trucked in. Almost done, then onto 350 tons of sand to spread. Darn... My son's Birthday last week, and my daughters tomorrow. Oh yea, after her party in the morning, I have to meet some operators and start a key way on a 500,000 cyd slide I have to fix. That one will keep me busy for a while....
You want it when???? Hahaha
Bmc,
I thought I did respond. Wrong block. Wrong pin size. I called Dana at Florin Tractor. He said he had 90% of every thing needed, and was tracking down the last piece to make it complete. I called him in my SPARE time for you.... Lol
Hotrodwelder1,
I still have the BeeGee units. My problem is I need a couple of guys to get to them. Being on the road and all I have failed you. Your welcome to come visit and look for yourself. I'll treat you to dinner. Out of 3 guys in the shop, I'm down to 1 a day for the next month. I just put on another Peterson Mechanic to keep things going. I'll see if I can make it happen someday.
Oh yea... Forgot to mention... My company just had record breaking sales... Never been busier. I'm not complaining... But I'm spread really thin.
Glen
.......and from the times of your posts and texts I don't think you ever sleep.
Cut Glen some slack. Glen does so much for so many that no one knows about. We are fortunate and very lucky to have Glen in our hobby with us.
Please say hi to JOE and Frank for me. Have fun in Pleasanton.
Oh, and thanks buddy for all you do for all of us. I hope to get the 966 home from SM this coming week when I get back from Holiday. Wish I could have been w you guys at MVPA but having a darn good time w the fam.
Hey Glen, put it neutral and idle awhile! lol there's always tomorrow! right? stress and being tired can lead to accidents or injury. Take it easy! we need ya around!
Hey RomeKG,
Rest??? No time for that.... Hahahaha. Yes burning the candle from both ends. There is a four day MVPA show this weekend. I could only afford one day. Hauling 9 tanks down there and back with permits and all, I wonder if it was worth it? I do things like that so others can enjoy them. Just like the Brooks show. It cost me BIG $ to haul those two tractors up there and back. Again, I did it for other's enjoyment. My problem is I am wanted by so many folks. It seems everyone wants some of my time... Just not enough of me to go around right now. I just try to do the best I can. To some it's not good enough... To others, they are amazed at what I do and accomplish. Last week someone wrote a letter and put it in our local paper. Wendy the author heard of a gesture I did a few weeks ago and wrote about it. One of my employees Mom has Cancer, second time around. I asked about her and my employee got a tear in her eye. I talked to my two kids about a plan I had and got their approval. The next morning, on my BirthDay I called her into my office along with her sister that works for us also. We called their Mom on the phone on the loud speaker. I told her that on Saturday Night a limo was going to pick her up with her 3 daughters. I gave them $250 to go have Dinner, and then a couple thousand dollars to go gambling. I told her to have a night on the town on me. All people present were crying, and the Mom cried out that on Glen's Birth Day I was supposed to receive, not Give. I replied that Giving was my present in life...
I'll do the best I can for you all, but please don't all gang up and throw rocks at me... Just a warning... I do own Tanks... Hahahaha
Thats wonderful Glenn! I wished I lived closer to help you out. Your the man Glen! I to am amazed at all you do and accomplish! Great work Glen! be safe!
Glen, ditto on my sentiments as well!! Please take a little downtime! Even a CAT has to stop for fuel and general maintenance!!
Regards Dennie
Hey RomeKG,
The GrandKids came to visit GrandMa and Gramps. I have a contract to do some grading at a school. In the contract it called to demo a play structure. So in my Spare time in the last 6 weeks I decided to redo the front yard. I built a wall, installed the play structure, added a 33' tall flag pole, and we are in the process of building a shade structure. We will pour a concrete walk and tomorrow we take the boards off the deck and install trex decking. [attachment=37455]image.jpg[/attachment][attachment=37454]image.jpg[/attachment]
My grand daughter Gwenyth calls it the "Gwenyth Park" .,.![]()
