Cattle prods. I've got a couple spares if ya need them....

 

Howdy everyone. Back to the school grind.

Too much to do already...

 

That reminds me of a joke...

What's the difference between a dead skunk in the middle of the road and a dead banjo player in the middle of the road?
















There are skid marks in front of the skunk!

 

Look at the bright side... it's your last term.

Maybe you can answer a question for me... What does it take to make honor roll/Dean's List at OSU?

 

Believe it or not, being an old farm/ranch kid, I happen to have one of those, but I was saving it for the son that married her..............


(also have a sheep banding gun)

 

Not quite my last term. I'm 9 classes away from graduating (including the 4 I'm taking this term).

To make the honor roll for the term you must be taking at least 12 credits and have a 3.5 or higher GPA for the term.

Jim, that banding gun would be less effective on your future ex- daughter in law though... so stick with the cattle prod.

Thanks Evan... She made it winter term.

Hang in there... it'll be over soon enough.

 

Actually, after the way this past week went, especially the last 3 days and this morning, it was my son that made me think of the bander. Perhaps it would get his attention and cause him to use the correct criteria to choose, should he ever decide to find another wife!

Heading to the farm. Have to take a birthday cake to my mother. Couldn't find room for all 87 candles though. Probably for the best though. I did have enough room for the proper number of candles on the wife's cake last week. Boy, was that one hot fire on top of the cake!

 

Curious! What year is your panel?

 

Evening John! It's a 53...

 

How far are you into it?

 

I've had it for over 40 years now, and this will be the third time I've built it...........lol

This time it's going on a 73 Highboy chassis with a mildly built 460 with C-6 and a Warn overdrive. My brother in law is bring me down an almost new set of 37" X 16.5 tires for it tomorrow. The frame is in my shop now and I'm sectioning the frame 22 inches.

 

Sounds pretty good, will be waiting to see the pics.

 

I started a build thread years ago, but bought a new house and bigger shop, and just didn't have time to work on it till now. This summer it's my main project, finally!

We should get the frame shortened this week and then I can send it to sandblast, then it's on to get all the body mounts made...

Just bookmarked your linky so I can watch the build. I just started another project too, 56 pickup, I've just started tearing the cab apart to replace the rotted out floorand cab corners. I'm hoping to find another panel so I can build a box for it because I'm in love with the body lines of the panel.
