I was ripping out my driveway yesterday, when my neighbor Rich came over and says Hey Joe. Turns out he and his wife own a asphalt company in York (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) he said I could drop off all the asphalt at the quarry and they will recycle it FREE

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

So he hops in my truck and he directs me to the factory, about 5 mins from my house. As soon as we get to the factory he is showing me all the equipment and how everything works. Soooo Coool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) He then helps me unload the truck. Unbelievable how cool my neighbors are.

On my 2nd load i noticed a sign right next to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

In case you were interested, here is 4 hours of work using 2 crowbars, a 6 foot breakerbar and a sledge hammer. Then i borrowed a 1/2 ton pickup to move 3 tons of asphalt. everything was picked up by hand and shovel and dumped using the same method....

Ha! Thats like 5 minutes from your house.

I am going to try and be able to make it tuesday, but its going to have to take second fiddle to the putting the roof trusses up for the shed, since I have a friend coming over to help me get them up.

Do you mean to say that your shed comes first !! This is official 914 World Bussiness.

Fall in line soldier!

If I fall in line it might include falling off a ladder later. I need a second pair of hands to help with the roof skelleton. I put up the first truss today and it was... tenious.

OK, just for the record, aircooledracing is also located in your "area". You could also visit Steve Limbert there who does the 914 thing like Gary Wigglesworth did the 914 thing. Both have been present at all the Hershey swap meets (Translog after Gary passed) for many years and the swap meet at Ski Roundtop before Hershey. We're not going to have to tell you about Holbert's too are we? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Aircooled Racing is a great shop, but its not 5 minutes away. I've gone up there a few times when I needed stuff.

I had never heard of Translog.
I have also never heard of Holberts. If it is in York, then I am doubly dumbfounded. So many days I spent when in the restoration phase waiting on shipping for a 50 cent part when there were shops around that probably had them on the shelf. Translog never showed up in any of my online searches.

Not in York but I think Warrington is near you?

- One of my friends bought a '05 911 cabriolet from them recently. He can't understand why I'm putting $ into a 40 year old car.
