Thx, Yea Queen Creek is ok! gettin a little crowded these days. Too much traffic not enough roads!

If you work at Empire, then you prolly know my crazy a$$ uncle that inspired me to build these fokkers! Ronnie Fields.
My drive is only 24 miles one way, takes about 35 minutes, ain't as far as you probably drive, lol.

Its about the same 25 miles one way.. what shop does your uncle work in? Im one of the painters for Empire. Everyone kinda lays low of the radar after this last layoff about a month ago.. There aint nobody really left. Sh!ts gettin scary. Ima try an get some pics posted this weekend for sure...
-
My uncle retired (the second time) about a year and a half ago from there. Ran the Machine Shop for 30 some years. Last month I guess they were trying to get him to come back again. But just thought you might know him. Ask around, I'm sure you'll find someone that knows Ron. (My brother, the boat burner, still does contract work for Empire too that Ron hooked up).
Anyway, offers still, and always, good. More than happy to help out and lend a wrench or a part or two if you need it, welcome to SCJB!
