Got some subframe connectors, those kickpanels, and a wiring harness off of bad436z28. I'm done traveling, and I believe I only have two more days of work. Progress should be forthcoming.

Actually been working hard the last couple days and there us nothing left in me after work. Thought I would be laid off today. But I'm working tomorrow... Plus, tonight I have a lovely migraine... Two Tylenol with codeine helped, now um struggling to keep my eyes open. Lol. You got that harness in?

No, haven't even touched the harness yet. I really probably should pull it out and get a feel for it, but I don't feel like it. This job I have sucks, I really hope my next one is better. Somehow I'm still working, I chose not to today with the rain, but everyone else is sitting home indefinitely. I'll work tomorrow, but after that? Who knows, from there I will be looking for work, and working on the car.

Construction works sucks, even on the best job and the best day! I did it most of my life, and the one thing I could never get past was the day to day worries of whether I'd be working next week or next month. I just didn't get used to not caring about future work, even though I missed less than a few weeks my entire work life.
Glad I don't have to work anymore, and not worry about the next paycheck anymore!

I have been stuck in one factory or another making car parts for 15 yrs now. I don't have a clue how I made it through the recession and never missed a beat. I have see many friends who have had real problems. One of my closest friends hangs drywall. I couldn't stand the day to day with that. Plus he is part owner. So when the work day is done he's scouting more work to keep his guys working. Sometimes he's left with nothing after paying them and he has four kids plus one in the oven. I would be a wreck.
