I don't have Garrett that week ......
Ring in 2014 right !
put some dates down George so we can look at flights.
Just tossed some dates in on OneTravel for an idea. Depart Dec 27 and return Jan1 was as cheap as $580ish. Have no idea if those dates would work but gotta start somewhere...

Long Time, No Mud Everyone!!
We have been busy with soccer lately.
Update on Srob's 40.
I had ordered an orion from Georg last fall and just now had time to put it in. We got it installed this past week....not without problems. Turns out a turbo 350 tranny can have 2 different output shafts....I ordered the wrong one. Called Georg at least 10 times this past weekend (THANKS). FERGIE happened to have an onion sitting in storage in Southaven/Hernando...(shouldn't everyone?)....he felt fairly certain that he had the correct gear in his...So off to Southaven/Hernando we go...it was correct...drove back to Florence. began building it up...10 minutes later realized that the spline diameter is about 3 mm different...s***!!!! .....We did not grab his bearing. Finished up all of his stuff Saturday Night and Sunday morning he left about 11:30, got to Hernando about 2:30 called and said he had the bearing, met him at Grenada, got back home at around 6:30. I had rallied some of the troops on the we home so J.T. & Jeff came over and we got it installed.
We also got her an emergency brake installed. Her is a 69 model, had an e-brake assembly from a 77, they are different. Monday night we got the bracket mounted and e-brake working.....This was a big deal....been on my ass 2 years about an e-brake!
During Labor Day at Windrock her winch quit working. Turns out the gear on the shaft coming out of the motor broke. J.T. researched this for me and came to the conclusion that it would be better to buy the newer style motor & gear. With help from Jeff & J.T. we got it back together last night along with installing the gas tank and cage.
Thanks to everyone who came down this past weekend it was good to get back out in the shop. Lash, Jeff, J.T., Fergie Ferg, C.T., Deb, Lenny, DNP even made an appearance, and Dan
Sorry, yall know me... no pics.....I'll try to get better at that...lol

Who typed that for you?
It really is awesome that y'all are getting to do all this wrenching. The driving to Hernando and Grenada, not so much though.

If Jrobs shop didn't have A/C then we wouldn't be quite as quick to help! Just sayin...
We had to work on Todd's in the sauna around back since somebody's junk was taking up half the shop just sittin there with a disassembled front axle. Not sayin who, but the junk was camo.
