^^^ What he said ^^^

 

Wish I could have gone, seems like y'all had a great time.
Hopefully I can make it out next time...

What kind of dog is this?



Is this Bill (ND) I see checking out this Blue '56ish F-100 (Possibly) Custom Cab? (Appears to to be a 4x4 conversion)



Lookin' good Ron! I still love your truck!



Is this a FTE Members trucks? I don't recognize it...



May I suggest you have some more support for your banner? It sags in the middle...

 

There are over 500,000 registered FTE members. How many of their trucks do you recognize? How many of their trucks don't you recognize?

 

Hey, look who's sportin a new sig pic!!! I can almost make out a truck.

 

I dunno there, Bill.

That's kinda' small to be a truck!

Uh huh, but it fits in my garage (with 4" to spare). Does your elephantine behemouth Stupor Duty fit in your garage? Prolly not. One needs a city block to have enough room to park those things.

And...ifin you have those lovely Jacaranda trees that Bill Pounds has in his neighborhood, when the blossoms land on the paint, better remove them pronto, or you'll soon have red stains that you'll hafta color sand out.

And, ifin you didn't know, the salty marine layer...if not washed off on a regular basis, turns the black plastic trim to mouse-fur gray within a short time.

If the pile of miseries won't fit into my garage, I don't want it.

I'm more than **** when it comes to detailing, so I don't want tree sap, Jacaranda blossoms, bird droppings, salty air and wild mule p!ss decorating my trucks paint job, even...

Though it already has more fish eyes than a Tuna Clipper!

 

Dum,

I've lived here for 29-3/4 years. There has NEVER, in all that time, been a vehicle parked in our garage. The stuff sits outside in the elements, no matter what.

If we had hail, I'd probably have added a carport or sumptin', but my garage is my storage area and my shop. She's got her house, I've got my garage.

My ex-wife lives in Reseda, in the same house since 1956. Her parents bought it new in 1950 for 5000 clams. She has a '93 F150 she bought new (thru me, we get along, sorta).

The truck sits in the driveway, she recently had it repainted, for the 3rd time.

Her worthless brother has a 1967 Ranchero, he and it live in the single car garage. He hasn't had a job since he worked at Ralph Williams in 1969 as a mechanics helper.

There's nothing wrong with him, except he's a lazy good for nothing-sponge.

Mom drives a '66 Thunderchicken, it's parked on the street, cuz there's no room in the driveway, and Ray has occupied the garage since Nixon was prez!

 

I'm sensing bitterness.

 

None here...and I don't think Pop is either...we're just raggin' on each other.

 

Who the F do you have for neighbors Bill?

 

Play nice girls...

Bill, I do need glasses... (That much I'll admit)
Without getting to specific, my mother is a drug addict for many many years, I'm proud to say I've never touched the stuff in my life.

 

Kid! It's "too" (specific), not "to", not "two". Know the difference! It will serve you well throughout life.

Bitterness? Naaaah! As Da' Dum said, jus' raggin'!

His ex's living arrangement doesn't surprise me at all. Actually, it's just kinda' pathetic. I have a friend in Port Hueneme that has a brother living in the garage of his deceased parents' home in Hollyweird, and living off the income from renting it to perfectly normal people. My friend blames her brother's condition on too many drugs taken in Vietnam, but I suspect "Jimmy" continued his habits looooong after stateside arrival.

No Jacarandas here any more, and in fact there's nothing more than acid rain and the occasional sparrow to mess with our paint jobs. Though mine's Oxford White, my wife's Pilot is maroon, so the trees would just leave invisible markings. The sparrows markings are sorta' obscure on mine, at least after they dry.....

Yeah, I'm sick!

Up here in the Puente/Whittier Hills, there are a coupla cattle ranches.

Every so often some get loose and amble down the roads. I've seen cattle, horses and a coupla mules...and the deer, rattlesnakes, rabbits, squirrels, rats that live in these hills.

 

I'm sensing a hijack.

But speaking of Jacaranda, they are particularly beautiful this year, with the wet winter we've had. Wife and I drove along Putnam just behind the house this weekend. That particular block is lined on both sides with White Mulberry, and they were in nice bloom too, but the one and only Jacaranda with Violet blossoms stuck out like a Victoria Secret model at Biker Week.

I'm happy to not have a Jacaranda or a Mulberry anywhere near our lot.
