For your information, I've been in the construction industry since the late '70's. I've hung, and finished more DRYWALL than you've ever seen. I've never, ever in my life seen anybody call themselves "gyproc'rs". Maybe your in-laws are as stupid as you? Nah. They're in their own little world up there. Let it be. |

It's stupid. ============== Let's give it a rest. It's time to go boating. I've been working on mine... Me too. Just changed out the belt for the raw water pump on the primary generator, not a fun job since it requires removing the pump which is almost inaccessible. Also adjusted the belt for the alternator while I was in there , plus changed the oil and filter. Hopefully it's good to go for a while, maybe a little fishing later. Reply: Mine is in the paint shop. Will be ready when I return from Kona. Going boating on a zodiac Tuesday, manta ray snorkel from boat Wed. My car's are a lot slower than they used to be. Age and the fact the wife and insurance company hates for me to get tickets. |
