G-man... I can!!! Small disappointment tonight though! Ok... I admit it & it drives my wife crazy! When it comes to consumables... whether it be tooth paste or whatever... I'm gonna squeeze every last bit out cause... I paid for it. Well... I went to fire up my welder just now to finish up the flooring structure I built over the weekend & guess what... NO shielding gas! I mean that sucker was on flat zero. I've been on borrowed time for about a week but too chinchy & lazy to filler up! So guess where I'm be tomorrow!?!

They better not be, but mountain passes can get weather about any time of the year.

UPS delivered these new one slot pulleys & here is the 1st real mockup for the flooring. A little trimming & spot welding & there we are. Gonna order a Gennie shifter in just a little & move on down the line!
