Update on the F-12 and my crazy life!!!!

I haven"t been around the forum for a while because my life took a major turn of events a couple weeks ago. Once again I got laid off in mid August just like I have the past couple years. While in the middle of taking advantage of getting the time to spend on the tractor I got a call about going to NY to work. (I live in NW MO and work in KC- Plumbers Local 8). I had thought about it for a few days thinking it was a few weeks away. Friday night the 12th I got a call at 8:30 pm telling me to go if I wanted. At that point I hadn"t even packed a bag. Made a mad rush of throwing some clothes together and was on the road at 2:30 am on Saturday.
I"m working in Malta at a micro chip plant owned by Global Foundries. From what I understand when this facility is complete it will be the largest of it"s kind in the world.
So as you can imagine the old F-12 will sit for a while. This was an opportunity I could not pass up. It"s tough being away from family but we"ll work things out. The money I"m making will change things for us for a long time. Plus I"ll have a nice little stash to hold back for my little projects!
 
We all understand making a living comes first, play is second. Tractor isn't going anywhere, it'll be there when you get back, and the forum.
 
I didn't realize you worked in KC Seth. I bet we know some of the same people, I know a few of your brothers. Good luck on the road!!
 
As opportunity knocks we with a stethescope respond. Great chance to fill a real need in these times! Jim
 
Good for you on the extra work. Also good news for the race now that I found I have to do a valve job on the regular.................. :wink:
 
Maybe we can actually put the two to a road race someday!!!
Working all these hours I have plans to finally buy those F&H
round spokes I"ve had my eyes on. Ive had my wife running
around pickin up and delivering parts for me while I"ve been
gone. She"s the best!
