Then new decals followed by the carnuba...

Good morning fellas!

Dive was good, I was able to become neutral pretty quickly. Guess I just got lucky. It was pretty cool at night. Saw a lot of Rainbow trout!

Got my truck back last night after training. Oh yeah it's back to looking pretty again. Almost repainted the whole truck! Hood looks good too! I need to give it a bath though. They didn't do such a good job.

Sorry Randy, only one per season. That is a lot of square area you are buffing I hope you have power tools or your gonna have one huge arm.

My night dives were not fun, but glad you enjoyed...
How deep were you and was their any lighting / guide cables?
Mine were dark with the exception of a tethered flashlight.. We didn't have any of the fancy stuff they have today. This was back in 1971.

Where are the pics of the "new truck" ????

Using a Porter Cable buffer with a 10" wool pad that weighs about 12#. Believe me when I tell you that holding that thing out for a few hours with the weight of the buffer and trying to counter-act the torque really takes its toll on upper body... That and standing on a ladder that long really screws with my feet...
I know... What a wuss!!!!

LOL.... So true.... Dar can finally climb stairs and made her first climb into the camper yesterday... I hope to driveway camp next weekend for the first time.

Found a large clump of mold growing under the refrigerator and erradicated it..
Gads these campers are not made to last.. Seems like they build them to work for maybe 5-10 years max...
