Know what the funny thing is Budda, I swear to God, every single time I wash the thing or do something good for it, that's when it breaks down on me. Guess she don't like the attention. Lol

Hey Rick, I used to commute in with three guys in a white TransAm 6.6, out of the Ontario area. I was from Rancho Cucamonga. Did engineering with K&B out of Santa Ana on the El Monte and Fontana jobs. Man, were those the days! Had a big mexican with long hair I used to roll with and a guy name Brian, who was a splicer and his brother was a super. for Shenck. You know they sold to Arguss, huh? Anyway, I only hung out in Harbor Cities long enough to learn aerial construction, then I went in-house with Copley Colony. I was the aerial inspector and Craig Gantner was the u/g inspector. Remember Bill Rocha with Copley? He was retired from Pac Bell with my old man and that's how I got in with them. Too bad I couldn't make enough in-house with a new baby and all. That was a kick ass job. Had a shit load of fun out there. You still in Cali? How is the work load there these days? I have been on the east coast for about 9 years now. NC for most of it. Take care, bro.

Well Bro's I done my part for the economy,dropped $20k on a Lincoln for the wife.The good Lord knows she deserves it.She has been by my side through thick and thin and I do mean thin for 12yrs now and I love her more today than I ever have I thank God every day for her and my children.Every since 9-11-01 I cant love or hug my kids enough,tonight I watched the concert for New York on VH-1 (thanks guys)and I saw a young man go up on stage with Joe Torre,he couldnt have been more than 14 or so,he lost his daddy on 9-11,tears rolled down my face as I contemplated the young mans future.I'am still crying as I think of the so many who are missing their family members,may God bless each and every one of them.This is a time of retrospect for each of us it is a time to come together for a cause it is a time to forget our individual differences and to become a mighty nation whose wrath will not be silenced untill justice is served,may God be with us and may God forgive you Usama because we never will.

Hey Nrb, how you like the Lincoln? I just bought my wife a Cadillac STS. I love the thing. Good ol AMERICAN technology. I've looked at the Lincolns, my only problem is they're a Ford though. A Caddy is a Caddy not a chevy or a pontiac. They're just a Caddy and what a sweet ride, 300 horsepower and it will wipe your ass before you sit on the seat. Lol. But seriously, you like the Lincoln, are they the same way. I saw the sport model of the new Lincolns and thought they looked pretty nice but I personally am just a little leary of Fords. The Caddy has so much Quality in it, are Lincolns the same? Just curious.

Hey gary hows it goin? been so busy I haven't had time to turn this thing on,,, I worked out in El Monte, I went in with ASI we swept the reverse, work untill about 4:00PM, people started coming home and turning on all those little devises that dump garbage on your return path, used to hit that truck shop when you first get off the interstate every morning to make up a game plan, turn your paper work in and grab a quick bite, I was out there when that truck load of Mexicans got hit by the train,, I lived in Torrance, up around 225th and Supulvida, (can't remember how to spell it) we talked about San Pedro, we came real close to working togeather out there,

Hey, Doug. Things going pretty good here. El Monte was my first job in cable. I was strand mapping for K&B Engineering. Ever hear of Tony Bykerk? My dad worked with him at Pac Bell and got me in right out of high school. I knew nothing and it took me two weeks of driving from Santa Ana to El Monte, correcting mistakes from my first few maps, to realize you damn sure needed to be thourough your first time out to make any money in this business. Stuck with me ever since. You don't know how many times I started to say to hell with it those first two weeks. Well, need to run. Getting ready to hit the road back to Kentucky. Sat out a week and a half waiting for system to get the next phase going. Sure hope they are ready for us this time. Can't afford another week off. Take care, bro.
