Started another thread to avoid further contamination of this one. viewtopic.php?p=21914#p21914

After inappropriately posting on another thread about this, I figured I should start a new thread. Why South Dakota? It's where my mother in law lives. on the western side of the state. What kind of trucks will I drive? Big ones, they are what I am comfortable in, and there is generally plenty of wo...

We will be based in South Dakota.

This is the entirely wrong thread for me to post in, but seems to be where all of the action is. I'm moving to the States in a few weeks. Have been approved for a green card, have the visa stamped in my passport and plane tickets booked. Will be driving trucks in the near term, so may have the possi...

You must have been devastated by that Dennis. Didn't you build that for your home?

I received an email from Sharkey this morning. He is in the process of resurrecting his old website.
It is now at http://www.housetrucks.org/

Had my first Pfizer vaccine shot three days ago. I found it easier than the flu shot. No side effects from the first shot, and am booked in for the second shot three weeks after the first.

Sorry, they are still making it excessively difficult to get in here. On the upside those of us that work at the border should be starting to get our vaccinations in a week or so.

At some point I will look at getting chat working again. There is an XMPP server running on the same server as the forum, I just need to work out how to connect the two again.

Finished the MIG course. We were given some 6mm (1/4 ") plate to play with, which I found more enjoyable, probably because it was easier to weld. We only used mild steel on the MIG course, and went through open corner, butt, butt with gap, lap, fillet, pipe, vertical up, and over head welds. La...

It is still so new to me, that things are still pretty hit and miss. But it is starting to sink in. And yes Jack, it is fun. I've only done one night on Aluminium and one night on stainless steel so far (TIG only), so should get one more night on each of those. Two nights of MIG and three nights of ...
