    That’s dope, one of my life regrets is not taking the offer to go work for them after getting out of the Corps.

    Wonder if that includes golf... It's uncontrolled... Can they shut down an uncontrolled airspace?

    Interested in this contingency plan...

    :popcorn:

    If I get in it'll be good work and good benefits. Both are very rare in this industry so I'm hoping for the best.

    Trying to build up the motivation to remove the transfer case and crawl box so I can seal up the crawl box correctly.

    Another week or so in quarantine and I'll be starting in the diesel swap.

    :rofl:
    Well uncontrolled I’m not to familiar with but I’d think within the airspace you could fly buy beyond that I’m not sure unless it’s a complete ground stop like what happened in 01 if your flying vfr shouldn’t be a issue but I wouldn’t expect any radar services like flight following or practice approaches.
    Depending on the length of a layoff if it happens I’d try to go work overseas but just realized if the airspace Is down I’d wouldn’t be able to get there.

    Can't today
    Got a flight physical and the weather is supposed to go to shit. I'd like at least two, preferably three good weather says to knock it all out.

    I'll be breaking it down completely and sealing up everything.

    Looking over AWC today looks like it’ll just be some scattered showers. I don't think we're going to get anything too bad until Saturday.

    Yep, doing alright. Got out and about today.
    Went and got fingerprinted, hit vatozone to drain my oil catch can and get some stuff for the truck, went to Lowe's for saw blades and tape.
    I'll start on the fenders in the next couple days and then I'll drop the crawl box and xfer case to reseal both. I cannot believe how much that damn thing leaks. The xfer case has a small leak I haven't been able to pinpoint yet.

    That’s a shame as much as you spent it won’t hold oil.

    No kidding.
    If I hadn't just punched a big ass hole in it, I'd send it back for another.
    Don't get me wrong, I love having a crawl box, but I'm not really happy with my frankencase. Had I known it would be such a bastard, I would have held out for an all-Marlin Case. They made it sound like only the adapter would be InchWorm.

    On the outside I don't see why not. On the inside, I won't know until I open it up. Every seam leaks.
