He's coming up here this afternoon if you don't have anything planned I would like you there. Robbie came over and he had never-seize up and down his arms. Are you getting ready to audition for the next tin man for the Wizard of Oz? Real funny. How the hell do you get this shit off. Just how did you get it all over you. I had the gloves on but one of the screw things slipped and that started it, then when I got done and tried to take the gloves off. Well you see what happened. Gunny was sitting there trying as hard as he could not to laugh. I decided to have some fun. What you think gunny make him hold his arms up till he dries and then use a grinder on him. That might hurt his tender skin, what about wrapping him up and taking him to the car wash and use the high pressure engine cleaner. That might work gunny Oh no I aint getting no pressure washing Come on slick I know how to get it off. Gunny would you get some dish washing liquid from Mrs. Mabel and bring it over to the garage. I'll be right over, do I get to spray him with the hose Only if he squirms I took him over and got a rag and poured some gasoline on it and got him cleaned up. So that's how you get it off Yeah but it's going to burn soon so take your shirt off Gunny got there with the soap and I poured some in his hands and told him to soap up. Now time for the rinse cycle and I held the hose and let him wash the soap off. Gunny remarked I see the running and pushups and sit ups have been paying off Yeah I guess I'm pretty ripped now Let's go get some lunch before his head gets bigger. Since he was wet he decided to walk over with no shirt on I whispered show off No honey a show off would be me in a speedo Now that would show everything off, and that is only for me. We got done with lunch and Robbie asked what the plans were this afternoon I told him I had another appointment with the guy from yesterday at 2 Can I take one or two of the guys and go see a movie Take two and where are you going I looked earlier and Z-hills has the movie I want to see playing at 130 Ok do you remember where the sign shop is I think so If you remember when you get done at the movie stop by there and pick up the vinyl oversize sign and just pay for it with the company card I gave you Ok does it matter who I take Anyone who isn't on duty is ok He gave me a kiss and said I'll see you for supper I sat around and relaxed outside the team house until the Colonel arrived. I got gunny and we went to meet him. Colonel Albertson this is Gunnery Sergeant Jim Williams my head of security he is going to join us. Is he going to be involved with this Yes he is Nice to meet you gunny And you sir Let's go inside we will be alone there and no one will bother us Have a seat and I will get the estimate I figured up this morning. After I gave him the estimate I asked would you like something to drink No thank you This doesn't look so bad. What other questions did you have for me. Well for one do I need to take a mostly direct route or do I need to zig zag to throw anyone off our track that may be following or watching for us. And are we going to be tracked. And what time frame is there between Yuma and Aberdeen. Lots of intelligent questions I see you've been thinking Yes I have First off now since you have agreed to take this job I can tell you more. We do not know where the leak is. It could be a trucking company or it could be someone in transportation. Like I said it's the programming inside the unit that is at risk. And there is no tracking unit in it. It will be checked for bugs before it is loaded. How do you plan on running this route wise Pretty much a direct route there may be some detours thrown in by a state for construction and such. So the states tell you which way to go Yes they do, you can request a specific route but sometimes in the case of construction where you won't fit they detour you around it. And also sometimes for weight also. This weight shouldn't be too much of a problem. I see. Is there any way to do it without permits No because it will stick out like a sore thumb. The only way around that is for you to fly it everywhere. If I remember right its 11' wide and with my truck and trailer will be between 100 and 110,000lbs. The only time I can remember a state not doing any routes is after Black Sunday when I ran out of Ft. Benning to Savannah for 4 days straight transportation gave us a permit made out to the US Army it had no weights routes or dimensions on it. But I don't know if all states will do that. And blanket oversize and overweight permits for those 20 or so states between Arizona and Maryland may or may not be possible. Can you get blanket permits for all those states. I have one for Florida and Georgia already. And I know I can get Tennessee and Kentucky. And some states with a blanket permit you have to have escorts whether you need them or not. I see I am more on the security side of things than transportation. If it was a regular load of freight I could go anywhere. Ok. As far as time schedule goes between Yuma and Aberdeen you have 3 weeks to get it there and Aberdeen to Ft. Knox a week. That makes a zig zag route a little easier, also I know of a couple places I could hide it in a building for a few days or even just a day if needed but not along the whole route. Can you check to see if you can get blanket permits. I need to know exactly what it weighs. Some state have limits on what they will give you a Blanket permit for. And that is something you can help with because a lot of times military equipment the weight listed is battle ready and the actual weight is sometimes a lot less. How can I help with that. I have never been to Yuma but most every base has a freight scale. If they do and the piece will fit on the scale drive it on and weigh it empty of munitions of course. If the platform isn't wide enough take one of your truck and trailers it will fit on weigh it to get an empty weight then pull off load the item on and weigh the whole thing. That makes sense. How soon do you need the information As soon as you can get it. May I use your phone Sure let me show you into my office and you can have some privacy. While he was on the phone gunny said make sure you tell him if you zig zag the price will increase. Oh I will get to that What do you think all those permits will cost. Each state average 200 could be in the thousands very easy What about ordering permits for multiple routes I mean like several trucks I could and have the routes intersect but if it is someone in DOD they could still find out. The Colonel came back out and said it was out on the range but Yuma does have a scale. I told the commander what I needed and he said they would load it up and haul it back in tonight. I hope it's ok but I gave him your number to call with questions. That is fine, you did tell them to have it the same as it would be shipped correct. Yes does fuel matter It could, how much does it hold My specs say 275 gallons Yes that could make a difference but I will not know until they call me but if they call you with the numbers ask how much fuel was in it. Also if I use a zig zag route with blanket permits the cost could go up considerably also if I need to hide it. Because I would most likely have to rent a place for the night or weekend. And you do know some states will not let you haul this stuff on certain days. I do now. Is there anything else? One more question Colonel. Do you think it could be someone in DOD leaking information. We do not know at this point, but that possibility is also being looked into. So we really should be looking into a zig zag route if possible. I would say at this time it would be the prudent thing to do Ok that's all I have, gunny you have any questions No sir, I think everything is covered for the moment Then gentlemen I will head back to Tampa, maybe we can beat the traffic or at least the worst of it. Good bye sir. And we walked him out. After he left gunny said you know we are going to need some good radios. I know, what would you suggest. I would call the sheriff and see who they get radios from, and see what is available. Ok I'll go call Capt. Hanks I called Capt. Hanks and he told me they use the Motorola Dealer in Tampa and have had good luck with the radios. And that some were actually 10 years old. And he gave me there number. I called the Motorola Dealer and talked to Steve Smith who is the general manager of the local service. And explained what I needed and he got my number and said he would call the main headquarters to see what would be the best for us. I then called Comdata and spoke with a supervisor to see if Blanket oversize/overweight permits were available for NM, TX, OK, KS, NE,IA, MO, IL, IN, KY, TN, AR, OH, VA, WV,PA and MD or if non routed trip permits were available for military equipment in those states. He asked what kind of dimensions was I looking at. I told him 80 long 11 wide legal height and 105,000 to 110,000lbs. on 7 axles with them being split in a 1-3-3 combination. He said a lot would depend on axle spacing and the weights on axle groups. But that he would check and get back with me in a day or two. I was sitting in the office looking at the mail when Robbie came in. Wow you're back early Yeah well things took a slight detour What happened On the way to the movie Josh called me and asked if I could pick him up at work. His boss let him off early and since his car was broke down his other ride wasn't available. So we went and picked him up and he told Todd how to get to their apartment. I went in with him to say hi to Chad. But when we opened the door Chad was there and 3 guys were fucking him. He didn't even notice we came in the door. Oh boy Oh boy is right. One of the guys told Chad someone just came in and he looked over and saw us and wanted all 4 of us to join in. Todd and Tommy politely said no thanks. What happened. Josh just went to their room got his clothes and whatever he wanted and asked if he could come home with us, he is outside. Well tell him to get in here, he can have the room that we put the bed in after the guys moved to the new house and you go tell Mrs. Mabel that there will be another here for a while and to plans meals accordingly. How should I explain it to Mrs. Mabel Just tell her a friend going thru a bad time is staying a while Ok and tell Josh to get in here he didn't have to wait in the sun. Ok and wait a minute I owe you at least one kiss. I got my kiss and Robbie went to tell Mabel. Josh came in and said thanks Jay and dropped his stuff and gave me a crushing hug. I put my arms around him and said it will be ok these things happen. I know but they always seem to happen to me What do you mean My old girlfriend forgot we had a date one night and when I went to pick her up they were together. That's when I realized how hot some of my guy friends are and decided to give guys a shot. Does Robbie know this No I was too embarrassed to tell anyone till now. You know I had the reputation of the school stud. It's like I was only wanted for my big dick and they really didn't care about any kind of romance as you would say. Well you know me and Robbie are a couple. Come over here and sit down. I know. I just didn't have anywhere else to go. And that night we played and the next day you both didn't treat me any different. And when we were playing it wasn't like the girls. You guys made sure I was pleased too. Even when we got tired and slept together we all cuddled up together. It was like someone finally wanted me. Well we do like you. And have been talking about having you and Chad over for a night of fun so to speak. But when you were here for dinner and we saw how you guys were I told Robbie not to bring it up. And we really would like to get together again. But I think you need a few days to calm down and figure out just what you want. How long can I stay here for You can stay as long as you want. But there is something going on that we can't include you in. We have a contract for a job for the government and no one that is not involved in it can know. So when there is a meeting about it I don't want you to get upset if I ask you to go do something for a while. Ok I can deal with that. Good and I also have business meetings here at the house sometimes and I even have Robbie disappear so to speak when they go on. Also the rules apply all the time we only play together. I know both you and Robbie have the hots for each other and that's ok. But the rules are there for a reason. And sadly you have found out that reason already a couple times including today. I'm fine with that. But could I ask for something special Depends on what it is. With all that has happened I feel so alone, would it be ok to sleep with you and Robbie for a couple days. I really need to feel close to someone and really I just need someone to hold me. Sure kiddo it's ok with me as long as it's ok with Robbie but I think you need to leave any sex alone for a few days until you can get over what happened today. But you ask him Ok no sex, but if uh you know if we get backed up so to speak can we jack off together. I laughed, you young boys. I guess that would be ok if you need to but you do yourselves. I gotten used to getting off 6 or 7 times a day with Chad but I'll try to control it. Besides when the time comes and we do all play it just might be better if you leave yourself alone for a bit I knew there was a reason I like you. Is it ok to give you a kiss from time to time. I think I could allow that but only over here, for the respect for the straight guys here we don't even do much in public around here except maybe a quick kiss good bye. But if you do that I know the talk will start and I don't want that. Ok Now go put your things in the back bedroom on the left, dinner will be ready soon. Thank you Jay and since I'm allowed to. He gave me a big kiss We went over to dinner and introduced Josh to all the guys and of course Mrs. Mabel had to fawn all over him. After dinner I told the boys to come with me I needed some help in the garage. When we got there I fired the truck up and let it build air and then hooked up the trailer and raised it up to a transport height and put the lift axle down. I moved it a few feet back and forth to let the air bags settle then shut it off and left it in gear. I got my tape measures out and said now for the help. I gave Josh a clip board and told him to write down the measurements I gave him. I had Robbie hold the end of the tape even with the first axle and I went to the next. 17'6" Josh then it was 5' and 5' I then got my 100' tape and had Robbie hold the end even with the center of the last drive axle and I went to the first trailer axle 34'6" Josh. Robbie leave the tape and come back here, with the smaller tape we measured the distance between the trailer axles 5' and 5' and 5' Josh and I put that tape away and showed Robbie where to hold it for the king pin measurement and I went back to the last axle. Josh write KPLA and 49'5" and KPLA with flip 54'5" I told Robbie to take the tape and hold it even with the front of the truck. Josh write OAL 73' and OAL with flip 79' Ok boys we're done I rolled the 100' tape back up and put it away and got in the truck and took it out of gear and set the trailer brakes and fired the truck back up so I could unhook the trailer since we had to take the tractor back to the fabricating shop tomorrow. Josh asked what was all those measurements for Jay When you get an overweight permit the states want to know the axle spacing. The more the weight is spread out the more you can haul and sometimes the permit is cheaper How much can to haul with that Some states I can go 160,000lbs in states that recognize my 20,000lb. steering axle but with all the axles down between 140 and 150,000 Dam that's a lot. Can I look in it Sure go ahead Josh got in and like every little boy that gets in a truck the first time was in awe. Look at all those gauges and you got a bed too and dammit that's a fridge. Robbie said that's nothing you should hear the stereo. Josh asked can I Jay. Yeah just turn the key to the left and just save my speakers He turned it on and cranked it up a little bit. In a few minutes he turned it back down and turned the key off and climbed out. He came over and said when do I get a ride. Maybe in a couple days I'm off on weekends Ok maybe this weekend Do we get to try the bed out NO we don't. Just joking I don't think we would all fit in it anyway Smart ass kid let's close this place up and go relax. We went over to the house and I went and grabbed a quick shower when I came out Josh asked if he could shower too I told him of course and he went to his room to shower. We heard the water shut off and Robbie said I'm gonna go take mine now and went to our room. Josh came out in just a pair of shorts and sat beside me. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and said I'm glad you let me stay. Would you believe this is the longest I have gone without having to have sex since me and him got together. You're kidding me No I'm not. You remember that first night when the deck was done Yeah He had to suck my dick all the way home. I almost wrecked once. Then when we did get home we went slow and gentle like we were told the first time. And he was hooked. I tried my best to wear him out but no more than an hour later he was sucking me again and if I wouldn't fuck him he'd just plop down and ride me. And it's been that way for 4 weeks. I actually look forward to going to work and when I have to work overtime that's just even better. Dam I'm glad Robbie isn't like that. He gets carried away sometimes but there's a lot of times when we just cuddle all night. Oh did you ask him About sleeping with us. Yeah he said it would be ok with him if it was ok with you. And I told him you already said it was ok if he said it was. Good we are all on the same page then. About that time Robbie came out in those skimpy shorts of his. Dam how did you get so fucking ripped Working out with gunny and the guys Josh grabbed Robbie and said I wanna see. He started rubbing his hands all over Robbie's chest and stomach and said I thought I was in good shape but dam. Robbie ever the show off flexed and said look at these Josh slid his hands down to Robbie's shorts and said did this this get bigger too. Not really it just lasts a lot longer and a lot more times. With the stroking Robbie was getting hard. Can I? I haven't sucked a dick since the first time here Robbie looked at me and I nodded it was ok Robbie told him ok but we all have to be naked Josh had his sorts off so fast and about ripped Robbie's off and he had Robbie's dick in his mouth so fast. Not wanting to be left out I pulled Josh down to the end of the cushion and Robbie got on the couch on his knees to feed Josh his dick. I decided to just give Josh a nice slow loving blowjob and took my time. Robbie was starting to rabbit fuck Josh's throat I told Robbie to slow down he's had enough of that kind of sex. I guess he got the message because Robbie was telling Josh to now lick it and suck my balls too. I decided to drive Josh wild and when Robbie would tell him to do something I would do the same to Josh. We went on like that for a while and I could feel Josh getting real hard and he started to tremble a bit, a few more minutes Josh fired a huge load in my mouth. After I licked him clean I just kept licking his balls and rubbing his stomach. I decided it was getting time to end this and rose up and started eating Robbie's ass. That didn't take long and soon Robbie was feeding Josh one of his big creamy loads. Both boys seemed to have needed that and finally calmed down. I decided I had better sit between them. I was still hard and the boys noticed. You didn't get off No I'll be ok till later No you won't Josh said. We're just following your rules and he winked at Robbie. Both boys went down on me taking turns, and no I didn't last long with that going on. We did all sleep together that night with Josh in the middle. Both of us wrapped him in our arms. I'm pretty sure he felt safe. The next morning I woke a little before 6 again and I could tell Robbie was stirring and would be awake soon too. Josh was still on his back and poor boy his dick was standing tall already. Robbie opened his eyes and looked around and saw me and realized Josh was in the middle and hard. I think he actually licked his lips. I motioned for him to get up and I met him in the bathroom. Let him sleep from what he told me yesterday when you weren't around Chad and the rest of the girls just wanted his dick they didn't seem to want him for him. Why didn't he tell me He was embarrassed you young guys thought he was this great stud with a way with the girls. And they were just using him as Chad did. So why don't we let him initiate the sex for a week or so Ok but what if you aren't here when he decides You and he know the rules you guys can jackoff together but that's it. What if it goes further Don't let it. Now let's get some coffee going We were having a cup when Josh finally got up. Dam I'm not used to being able to sleep all night. Thanks both of you and he gave us each a good morning kiss. You're welcome sweetie but you should put a pair of pants on. Sometimes Jack the construction foreman stops by in the morning if something critical is going on. Oh ok. Could I have a cup of coffee Sure I'll get your first then it's on you, the cups are right in here Mmmmm this is good. Normally I have to drive somewhere to get coffee after fucking Chad at least twice. Well that won't happen here But Robbie said unless you want to, weekends especially I'll remember that Josh what's wrong with your car The transmission is messed up. I'm trying to make the money to get it fixed Where is it Jones garage Well we will make sure you get to work and back here. Thanks it might be a while they want 2,000 dollars What if I pay for it and you pay me back. You would do that for me I think you're worth it. But not at Jones Then who, I don't know where else to take it. I do, this morning I'll call Craig at Brooksville Transmission and have him pick it up and fix it. And he came and gave me another big hug. You just call Jones this morning and tell them not to work on it and who is coming after it Ok I'll do that What time do you have to be at work 9 till 4 We better get some breakfast then so we can get you there. We all went to the team house as normal gunny was there. You hear anything from yesterday. No should be today but I got them working on permits We got our breakfast and took Kyle with us to drop Josh at work. Then stopped by the sign shop and picked up the sign Robbie didn't get yesterday. We stopped by the fabricating shop to see if that sign was done. The old man said he went ahead and put the mounts on. Seems he had measured the truck when we were there. I paid him and we headed to the house. Since it was already 1030 I went and checked, no messages yet. So I grabbed a folding chair and went to the garage to paint the lettering on the plywood signs and left them in the sun to dry. I went over and had lunch. Robbie had come over all sweaty. He had been out running with the guys. I said I love you babe but you stink. I know but I'm hungry Well you better get something to eat then shower. Yes dad After we ate I went to the house and Robbie went to shower. I checked messages and found several. 1st Mr. Johnson this is Colonel Gordon out at Yuma the item you were inquiring about weighs 61,340lbs. and that is with ½ tank of fuel. I hope this helps. 2nd Mr. Johnson this is Bryan at Comdata those permits you asked about yesterday are available if you would give me a call I would be happy to help you apply for them. 3rd This is Steve Smith at Motorola I checked with the factory and I think we have what you are looking for. Could you give me a call when you have time. I decided to call Steve back first. Steve this is Jay Johnson what have you found. We have a new system that just came out it is mainly for mobile command posts but I am sure it will fit your needs. It's called Telesatradio what it does is we mount like a mini repeater station in one of your vehicles as long as the other radios are within 10 miles or in wide open areas line of sight it can go as far as 100 miles with vehicle radios and 75 miles with handheld radios. The repeater unit operates on the same curly Q cell phone looking antenna and the higher we can mount it the better. Can you mount it in a semi Yes sir that would be no problem as long as there is the space for it. How big is the unit. The main unit is 1'x2' and about 8" high but needs to have a little bit of ventilation it also has an internal battery so if the vehicle is off for a long period it doesn't drain your vehicle battery. The actual control head is only 3"x8" and 1" thick we can mount that most anywhere. In police vehicles we put it in the dash where the factory radio would have been. What about in the other vehicles The main control box which also acts like a repeater but without the distance is about the same size but only 4" high. The control heads are the same. The range on them is like 50 miles. What frequency does it use and is a license needed. It runs on 800-875 MHZ It has programing in the main unit that every time you start the main vehicle it scans the programing to see what frequencies are in use in a 100 mile area and then picks one that isn't. It then sends a signal to the other radios on your system and links them all together it takes about a minute. Then every hour it rescans while being able to maintain communications and if there is a conflict it changes the frequency of all the radios in your system handhelds and all. That takes about 30 seconds and each radio will make 3 short beeps. What about if a vehicle or another radio is turned on or off. Since all the serial numbers of your radios are programed in each vehicle they will automatically connect same as with handhelds they only look for radios with your serial number group. What else does it do. If for the odd reason no frequencies are available it will resort to a satellite radio and use satellites. As a relay you could literally talk to someone in Alaska from here in Florida. And if you want we can add a phone feature. But you would not receive or be able to use the radio in that vehicle until done with the call. What about a license No license is needed. Ok I'm sitting down what does all this cost. The main unit is 10,000 the vehicle units are 5,000 each and the handhelds are 4,000 and they come with 2 batteries and a charger for each one that have both 12Volt and 110 power cords. And they have a belt holder and an optional add on microphone/ speaker at 100 each. Is there a main unit that runs on 110 for my security room here at home. No we do have a heavy duty power supply for them that runs on 110 and puts out 50 amps of 12Volt power which is plenty. And looking here on the sheet that is 150 If none of the main units are on will the vehicle units do the same Yes sir but the range is about 50 miles. And the handhelds by themselves are in the area of 10 miles and that is only if none of the main units are in range. What's the power usage on the handhelds 4 hours talk time and 2 days standby or listening. And recharge time Between 6-8 hours depending on how much the battery is down and then it automatically changes to keep a maintenance charge. How much is installation That price includes 4 hours per main and vehicle unit and of course the handhelds don't need any. Can you mount 12 volt chargers in vehicles Yes we can they will charge 2 batteries at once and are 100 Is this available now Yes they are but they are all programed at the factory so any you will need should be ordered at the same time. Ok I might make your sales quota for the week I want 3 main units 5 vehicle units and 15 handhelds with microphones. And 7 extra vehicle chargers Ok 3 main units 5 vehicle units 15 handhelds with microphones and 7 vehicle chargers. Let me get you a total. That comes to 117350+ tax That's fine how long will it take to get them I will call the factory but it is normally 2-3 weeks And where do you install them If you have a big garage with electric and air we can do it at your place if we do them all at once. I have a 100x400 garage with electric, air, water, and a/c and all but 1 vehicle that will get a main unit is here but might be here by that time. Very well sir I will get the factory working on this and give you a call when they are in Ok thank you. I called Bryan at Comdata next. This is Bryan how can I help you Bryan it's Jay Johnson Oh yes sir on all those Blanket permits a lot more have gotten like the western states they are all between 50 and 200 and two are 500 if you can give me your axle spacing's I can look and tell you if they will work I gave them to him as well as the other dimensions. Ok sir most with 7 axles will go between 115,000 and 120,000 and on 8 up to 150,000 and their width is 12' and height is legal your 79' length will be fine in them all. There are some restrictions on two lanes in a few of them. Ok go ahead and order them with a start date in 45 days. Ok can you hold a minute some of these require an original signature and I need to get someone else to verify you giving me permission to sign your name Ok I'll hold Another person joined in and told me I was being recorded and all the stuff they needed. So that part was done. I called Colonel Albertson and told him I heard from his friend and it was good news and also the other things we talked about is possible. Good glad to hear it. I will come to tell you in person when the wedding is I'll see you then. As I got ready to leave the phone rang. Johnson Inc. This is Craig over at Brooksville Transmission what are we supposed to do with this car. He said the transmission was acting up that sometimes it wouldn't shift I drove it around for about 15 miles it seems to work fine, the fluid could stand to be changed Go ahead and change it and check it out good Ok we'll get started on it I went to tell gunny the news He was on the deck with a glass of tea What no coffee, too dammed hot for coffee Well I have good news I'm ready for it What's going on I got 2 guys that got hot, not as bad as Robbie was but Brandon made them stop and go lay down, he's checking on them now Well we have a radio system coming. It works on 800-875 MHZ and scans and switches automatically if it detects someone using that frequency, if all else fails it switches to satellite. The main units will be in each semi and one here in the monitor room they act like repeaters and each other vehicle works as a small repeater What's the range 100 miles near a main unit 50 otherwise and the handhelds 10 miles if out of range of a vehicle or main unit Dam sounds like something the military came up with. How bad is the price 3 mains 5 vehicle and 15 handhelds and 7 vehicle chargers for the handhelds and might I add belt holders and mics for the handhelds all installed with tax around 125K And we have blanket permits ordered for almost every state from new Mexico to Maryland and Texas to Nebraska So we can go just about anywhere. Yep Brandon came out and said they are going to be ok. I got them stripped down and in bed cooling off and drinking plenty. Good, good. Jack came walking up How are you Jack I'm good I have a bit of good news Lay it on me We now have all the concrete poured except the west drive and next week we are going to start on asphalt. They are going to do the back fence first and they have a small side conveyor so the dump trucks won't break up what is already there. That will take a few days then the concrete in the drive will be cured enough to start at the east drive all the way up to your drive to the house and the parking lot and the west drive and your turning area and the garage aprons down to where the west drive will be and it will be tapered off. And also the cross drive if you still want that done. Yes do it too. Ok we will do the cross drive on the last day and then finish the west Has anyone seen Robbie I saw him go in the house, might have made it in when you were on the phone gunny said. I'll go look in on him. I went to the house and didn't see Robbie and started looking for him. I saw his clothes scattered in the bedroom and I hollered Robbie you here. I'm in the tub. I went in and he was there with a drink in the tub soaking Are you ok Yeah I got a little warm and came in to cool off but I feel better now Do you want me to get Brandon No I'm feeling good I think I will lay here a while longer I gave him a kiss and said I know you feel better but I'm going to have him check you anyway. You gave me too big of a scare last time Really I'm ok but if it will make you feel better he can come see me naked again. Babe Brandon has probably seen more naked guys than you'd want to know about. Well ok then I went back to the team house and Brandon was still there Brandon would you go check Robbie , he's in our bathroom in the tub. He said he got a little hot too and is cooling off. He says he is feeling better but it would make me more at ease if you would check him out. Sure I'll go get my bag Gunny I think we need to change the training schedule to early morning before it gets hot I agree at least for the next couple months Me too, could you see if Kyle is around and ask him if he can pick Josh up from work he drove this morning so he should remember. Sure what time does he need to leave About 3. I'm going to stay here and keep an eye on Robbie and try to get some office work done. I'll let him know I got back to the house and the phone was ringing Hello Mr. Johnson this is Craig we got the pan off this car and it's full of metal, I don't even know how it stayed moving. How bad is it Bad, there's clutch material in the oil and it has probably been pumped through the whole transmission. Basically it's trashed What's it going to cost to replace A reman transmission with a new torque converter is 2200 and we also need to flush the lines and cooler the good part is it's an easy one to change so labor would be between 3 and 400 if the radiator cooler isn't plugged up. Ok go ahead and put a transmission in it and whatever else it needs. What kind of warranty will it have. We guarantee it for 5 years or 100,000 miles That's good I will explain it to the young man who owns it and check the engine oil too you know how kids are Ok we'll check the whole thing over and give you a call when it's done or something major comes up. If no surprises it should be done day after tomorrow. Ok good Craig talk to you then. Bye. I started going thru the mail again. Dam half of this stuff is junk, oh the final bill from the Dood City police and real nice the bill from the Sheriff is here too. About that time the phone rang Hello Johnson Inc. Mr. Johnson Yes This is Akan Louks from Feather Light Oh yes how's things going Your trailer will be done the first of the week after next Great could I get a Bill of Sale so I can get plates for it. Do you want to wire the money or send a check whichever way is easier for you is fine. I'll call the bank and wire it to you if you can give me the numbers and a total price. Sure are you ready Yes go ahead. He gave me the routing numbers and account number Now just give me a few minutes to total the bill, what is the sales tax rate where you are 6 ½ % Ok just a moment the total is 657,375.00 and tax is 42,729.38 for a grand total of 700,104.38 Ok I will call my bank and have the money wired you should have it tomorrow Thank you sir and as soon as it comes in I will mark it paid and fax it to you Good and we will see you in a couple weeks I called Mrs. Corrigan at the bank and told her I needed to send a wire transfer. Ok sir let me get in that screen and what account is this coming out of It will be from my personal account Ok what are the routing and account numbers I gave them to her and she read them back And how much are we sending 700,104.38 I told her Ok sir and just so you know your construction account is taking a beating lately. Yes I know we had to redo some plans and build a couple extra buildings and such. But hopefully all will be done in another month or so. How much is in my construction account It's down to 157,000 That will be gone next week. Put another million from my personal account in there and that should more than finish things up It's all done sir, is there anything else Yes we will be leaving here sometime next week on a trip to pick up another truck and the trailer I just paid for and charges on the cards will be showing up from odd places. And in about 60 days I will need a lot of cash but I will have to come in and explain that in person Ok sir depending on the amount it may take a couple days to get I understand and that's all I have Ok sir I'll see you next time you stop in. I didn't see but Brandon was by the door to the office Oh hey, how's my boy doing He's fine his vitals are all close to normal for him and he just has a bit of a temperature, but he is doing the right thing. I got him another bottle of gator aid to drink Good how are the other guys doing I caught them early and they will be fine by dinner Starting tomorrow training will be early morning That's a good idea Gunny thinks so too. I think we have had enough close calls Does Robbie need to restrict what he does Just make sure he gets plenty of rest tonight and he can do what he wants tomorrow. He learned his lesson from last time and not going to try and be the big "he man" he tried the last time. But don't tell him I told you that. Yeah he doesn't like the appearance of being treated special And just to give you a heads up we will be taking a trip next week and probably be gone for a couple weeks you , Billy and a couple others will be going. I will decide and tell the others after I talk to gunny and we decide who else will be going. If there is nothing else I'm going to check on the other guys That's all I have
