How'd it go today?

meeting all day yesterday, two meetings today, gotta love volunteering. :)

tomorrow is a small install job then my niece's princess party for her birthday. I will go and watch Bub so my wife can take part in the princess part. :)
 
Just got a call from where I ground yesterday with the dude telling me he had a report of a broken window.

I fricking asked the 2 people there to go with me when I ground the two stumps near the other people and look before and after to see if I broke any glass (unlikely) so that I wouldn't have to deal with this bull jive.

When I left, I didn't see that it was broken. He said that they said they didn't think to look higher up at the window. :roll: I mean WTF, there was 2 vehicles and 2 windows to look at, how hard could that be? Then again, his girlfriend is the queen of a double wide for a reason.

Unless there's something special about it, the replacement glass shouldn't be more than $50, the job was $400. I guess I'll go over there (21 miles and 40 minutes) to inspect the damage and get measurements and a price on the replacement glass. He can put it in for all I care.

He wanted to know if I had insurance to cover broken windows :what::roll:.

:X

Willie, sounds a lot like my truck. The Altec AM series are available with one or two buckets (the blue truck had two, I removed one) and many of the power companies put big hydraulic winches on the front bumper for pulling lines. My truck had a winch on it but the dealer pulls them off and sells them separately. :( I still have to remove the 1" hydraulic lines that fed it and are capped off behind the front bumper. Weight is about right as well. Mine was 27k empty, 4wd and the winch could add a thousand pounds to that easily.
 
beautiful little truck for the price. i can hardly say know but im sure my wife can. i can get this for such a deal id make money after using it a few years

Does it dump? And even so, the bed is too small for anything substantial. I wouldn't want it as a dedicated loader, but that's just moi.
