I looked for someone to help me put new plastic on my paint booth where the fan is. The regular plastic started to tear and brake 6mill plastic. So ordered some green house plastic. Asked a friend and he told me of this guy. He showed up Saturday and my friend showed up while he and I was looking at the car. So my buddy Ralph started talking and wanted to look at the car. The other guy disappeared I asked Ralph where did that guy go he said he left. Well Ralph left and went and found the guy we talked this around noon time. He said he had things to do and I offered him 20 bucks for showing up. I went home and started grinding on a snowmobile sprocket for my track chair did one and left the other one with the one I had finished grinding on. The guy was suppose to show up today to help put the plastic on the paint booth a no show. Found a friend home and got him to help me. We got it done. Then was going to grind the other sprocket down to my application and low and behold it is gone. These things are around 100 dollar per sprocket. I tore every thing apart in the barn and no where to be found. They did not take the one I had ground on but the new one is gone. That is why it is hard to trust any one near your shop. I over slept so figure he came in this morning and I was not out their and he got paid by getting the sprocket. Don't figure tool's every where and drills all kinds of stuff just the sprocket missing. Now I don't want to blame any one but he is the only one in the barn yesterday that I do not know that well. Just how are we suppose to know if you can trust someone or not. Russ.:realcrazy:

Ok.Ok. it is official I have lost my mind. Also my faith in humanity is restored a little. Found the Darn sprocket in the box that the other one came out of. I would have sworn I took it out of the box. My mistake. Show's how many brain cells I have left or a lack of. Thought I had left it by the wheel chair along with the one I had worked on. So I Was Wrong again. Dang It all to hell. Russ. Roadunner pic. .png
