Greetings all from Smithers BC. I had a little trouble getting signed in using my cell phone, am better with the desktop. Really though, another computer Luddite.
My ride will be a '56 Ford/Merc pickup when all the pieces are in one place. (code for do not expect pictures soon.) I own motorcycles as well, so I have lots of opportunities to get out in the wind. Being able to roll under things is also important to me, so what I am saying is: closed cab with windshield wipers, heater, and defrost. And also, not a lowrider!
I started out as an HD mechanic, but have spent most of my time trucking as an owner/operator. Those in the business know that mechanic work is necessary to keep the beasts running to work the next day. This helps with the equipment side of things, but damps one's interest. The rod becomes more work to keep just another @#$%^&* machine running.
Reading the site for a couple years has given me a good idea of the talent and knowledge pool that posts here. Although I have some skills, my imagination, experience, and talent are not anywhere near what I have seen. For that reason, my posts will be rare. As well I am still working long hours; maybe some day retirement will happen, although my retired buddies roll their eyes and say they now have less spare time.
