Your truck looks great. What's the ride difference, smoother? quieter?

Funny thing, SCSG-G4: - EVERYBODY has lived in Fairlington, once :naner::beer::naner:

The rigs are right beauteous. And that is pretty country that you're in, US6x4. Never been out to Washington State, and it never occurred to me that any part of it was that flat like that. Mighty pretty!

Excellent!!

Thank you, G744, you helped me override my Lazy Mode! I still don't quite get the idea (yeah, I'm kind of slow-witted), but it seems like the step of pre-heating installs the rail at a "happy medium" (thereby minimizing the effect of any later thermal expansion/ contraction). Or that's my...

Never understood that: - How is the differential expansion handled in those lengths of steel The expansion/ shrinkage; it has to go somewhere, right? Does anybody know?

That there is criminal.

What I recall from the article made it sound like the operation was almost TRYING to abuse the line employees and make them quit. Sure seems odd, like "what a way to run a railroad", you know?! Like what is management thinking there?

Yikes! You were right, some ground rules for the man are definitely in order.

Yeah, that sounds right. I picked up that it was affecting people somewhere out West (and the policies sounded close to criminal), but I wasn't reading the article real close for detail. But I'm going to bet that you're right on the money, G744.

I was reading some reporting about a week back, and can't remember what railroad operation it was, but story was how they were working their crews ragged, like what's that about?

Oh, Man, what a hoot!! Wish there was a video of that episode!

I was never a Boy Scout, but "be prepared" is a good way to go for sure.

That's for sure one nice thing about paint!

Glad there's no heartburn, bchristensen, and that truck of yours looks real good from any angle: - But, you just GOT to tell us The Story behind your truck "taking a nap"like that! :driver::naner::driver:

That rig of yours, Mad Texan, is one mighty fine looking machine. Yes, sir!

What's your method?

Glad you kept your cool. Nice work! How did you screed that slab (especially the portions in the middle): - no intermediate formwork to guide on Did you drive pieces of vertical rebar to-height randomly around the area? Or just how did you work that?!

Mad Texan, that right there sounds like a mighty fine time! [thumbzup]:beer:[thumbzup]

The slab looks great, Weldman! That is some serious yeaoman's work you and your sweetheart placed there. Outstanding. The service pit is brilliant!! Man. Nice job!!
