Working it....

I had Big Bertha out for some work Duty this week. I am starting a machineing business and needed to move some new equipment. I had to borrow an off road fork truck to get it out of the bed of the Ford.....Then I had to go pick up the first load of aluminum for the machining business. I created a work stoppage at the mill and BB was not happy about the snow we hit on the way home......It will take a bunch of cleaning to get all that salt off of her. The new 468 engine is working well.
