Ok ok I had to. Joke of the day--What's the fluid capacity of Monica Lewinsky's mouth?

One US leader.
 

Scott,
Look on the bright side those cowboy forklift drivers are keeping you and your protege gainfully employed.

TGF, bottom far right, Colt LC45. like the one used by General George Patton. I have more, and have started working on a Civil War. One of my sons has this one hanging in his office,Jason.jpg
 

Folks,

This one is for the veterans both on this thread and elsewhere.

Dire Straits & Eric Clapton - Brothers in Arms.

 

Just got home.

Lots of overtime on the next check! :thumbsup:

Oh, they didn't tell me that BOTH risers are needing to be replaced on the jack for today.

I had to work on several other jacks first: changing drive wheels, load wheels etc.

I didn't get started on the risers until about 8 o'clock.
Tristan leaves at 8 'cause he has school in the morning.

I got as far as removing the caster assemblies, removed the shafts from the "chops" and the nuts from the toe section.

Of course, other drivers interupted me to change a load wheel here or adjust the forks there....
Guess what I'm doing tomorrow.

Still not too much work for an old man!

Best,

Scott

45_Johnny, many years ago after Jump School, I had some leave and visited one of my pals from basic. He got stationed at Ft Knox. If anybody reads this, enjoys military history, Ft Knox has one heck of a military museum. You see Patton was a collector and after battles he sent pieces home. It's called the Patton museum. Anyway I saw one of Pattons pistols there. I am told the other is at West Point. And yes....... I got to shoot an M-60 tank!!!! Yes there is a story there and it's funny

Scott,
I thought this free ebook may be useful to your protege Tristan. It's called the Richest Man in Babylon and it's written in parables on how to save and spend your money wisely it was written in 1926 but the lessons are just as valid today as they were then. Feel free to print or share the link with him or yourself if you wish as the patent has expired and this book is now public domain.

Same applies to the other members of the thread.

I read that years ago ,along with others . A time when lint in my pocket was the sum of my assets basically. ( Success! I have more lint today..)
Maybe it was the book that suggested keeping accumulated gold/ wealth and spending the interest ,but better yet ,putting the interest to work earning interest.
