CHET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE!!!!!!!!! You have NO idea how many times I tried to call and call and call and call you! But, the phone just rang and rang and rang and rang and rang ... no answer, no voice mail, etc. Then, when I saw the link posted to the Monte Carlo Mailing List ... I checked it out ... and was STUNNED (happily, of course) to see YOUR NAME on there!!!!!!!!!! So, I joined ... and thought I'd mention it  . So glad you are "home" with us, now, bud!!!! Oh yeah ... and WELCOME!!!!!

Not too awful much got done to the Major Pain, just a lot of other "shop work", and regular work. Been getting into tractor pulling a little bit, tried my hand at 3rd shift in plant maintenance for a year at Kolbe (my employer for nearly 12 years now), still married to Dawn (shes a saint to put up with me...), got back on first in production, and scored one ticket for 15 over (with my grandma in the truck no less--she was thrilled  ). My site can be found here.... schnitz.activeboard.com/. It's a free site, so it reeks of me being cheap ;D That time on third really messed me up, couldn't eat right, couldn't sleep more than 20 minutes at a stretch, and I turned the house phone ringer to silent and proceeded to break the selector off. Worked great until the answering machine crapped out... Oh well. My shop is nearly done, and I'm loving it. Except the small size of it. Maybe later I'll build on. Anyways, it's great to see you all again! In a while, Chet. |

rebelx, I run a buddy's Massey Harris 101 Jr. in 3,500 lb stock farm class. She's been completely redone, and she's purdier than at least two of my ex's... ;D So far, my best is a 3rd place in a field of 14, but that's only in 3 pulls. It was my first time out with it tho. Second time, the timing jumped while I was on the line pulling on the throttle. It flat stopped dead. Last attempt yielded a 5th of 8. I hate pulling late in the group....
Keith, I gotta figure out how to post my pics on here before I do that.....
In a while, Chet.

I don't get on here as much as I should either, check new posts every couple of days, respond only if I really got something great to share. Old group??? Try "old friends". Except most of us ain't that old.... Excluding TMM....... In a while, Chet. |

Chet...man....dude !!!
Welcome back home, INDEED!!!
Been missing you along with some of the others. I too, unfortunately, have been busy with work and not on here much lately. I couldn't remember some info today and I realized I didn't have my hard drive with all my Monte data... then I remembered, I had posted some of it up on here in the library....sooooo.... here I am.
It's been too long... for me... and for you Chet.
Again.... good to see you again brother !!

Chet & Dave ... just a thought... any opinion on combining the two message boards into one? Basically, get all members of both boards to use one? Increase our numbers?
I'd prefer to move all members to here but I'm sure the same could be said by the members on the other board.... anyway... just a thought.

I was ready for "the home" about 10 years ago. Back when I farmed, I got the stuffing pounded out of my body on a daily basis. And now I'm paying severely for it. Then, after going to work in the factory, I messed up my right shoulder, and the low back. Toughed out the recovery time by just doing as I did on the farm. Kept right on going. My shoulder is the worst right now. Coming rains, cold, it hurts worse every year. Good thing I plan on pushing Daisies by 40. In a while, Chet. |
