Go Figure?

[Doug Cox]

This weeks highs have hovered around 0 degrees F and the phones are stilling ringing. I actually have a pretty good week coming up and have been out 3 days this week. Winter business is generally very slow unless you have a heat wave. Anyone else?, in the cold belt.

What are they wanting done?

 

[hogjowl]

Our highs have been in the 30's and the only time my phone has rang has been from telemarketers and a couple of cleaners trying to find out if my phone is ringing.

We are having a cold front here and I'm still busy. It's supposed to get as cold 61 tonight with high of only 75. Burrrr. Get out the winter coats.

So what is your son doing on these down days?

 

[hogjowl]

Same things you and I did at that age.

 

[Mikey P]

What age?

 

[hogjowl]

Good point. He's 24, but doing the things I did at 18.

 

[Mikey P]

No mortgage, no car payments nor a girl.


Mine will slack away his life if he doesn't become man soon...lol

 

[Mikey P]

Were driving.to socal right now for the funeral / memorial for Paula's dad.



Jr will be riding home with us.


A life changing conversation is going to take place.


For all of us.

Mine actually enrolled in college today. Hopefully he will take it seriously this time. If he wants to work with me for the rest of his life, I'm cool with that, but I'd like him to have options. Right now he has none, and when he's not working he's doing things to entertain both heads.
Like me at 18.

It's been pretty cold this week, lows below 0, highs in the low teens, had a pretty good week last week but only 5 on for next week as of this moment, I'm sure it will fill in with something.

That was the thing I hated most about sliders. Although my swing doors are loose as shit after 6 years of heavy use

I can't think of a time we have ever had a sliding door freeze up.

We run Butlers, but trying to recall even from the days of slide ins having this situation.

We do have heated shops so maybe being inside each night dries things out a bit, But would think with Keith in Wisconsin, he must have a shop of some nature too.

Just curious what could be causing it and of course see if there is a solution to make life better for those it does happen.

Sounds like a water leak or condensation with the slider closed that is forming ice on the rails or the sliding mechanism

Grease the heck out of them and it should slide easily
