Took the throttle body blank to Geraldo yesterday.
He's been battling Colon cancer.
I must be a bit of a coward because if someone gets that sick I run in the opposite direction.
Maybe I just don't like seeing people suffer.
He looked great and he's beating the thing. It took all my courage to go there I must admit.
He's going to machine the part this week. Go "G"!!!!!!!.
This journey is more than building a liner. I'm starting to see the light.
To any of my friends who are in poor health, I wish you well and you're in my prayers.
Crazy things happen. I ran an ad in the classifieds for welding services and light fabrication.
I get a call from a kid called Dylan whose not looking for welding but a job!!!!.
He's been doing Tig for three months. He sends me a few pics on Whatsapp. Very good from
what I see. I don't need a worker but he's so keen and wants it so bad so I call Duncan who
does my Aluminum welding. Duncan builds Paris Dakar trucks at Redline racing.
I convince him to take a look at Dylan. 6 guys watching this young kid weld and they threw in a curve ball to boot.
The gave him two Aluminum plates to weld but left the plastic coating on face down. He failed on that one but he was
hired based on his quality on the steel. His new job pays three times more than the old one and he's going to South
America with the team from what I hear. He'll learn from the best but I may have dropped him in the deep end.
Racing crews suffer like soldiers especially in the off road scene.
One good turn deserves another. This kid hasn't stopped calling to thank me. I just made a phone call!!!!!!.
I'm so happy for him. Finding a rough diamond like this is rare and hopefully we've added another creative
guy to a dwindling community.
