guess it could be worse the engine could have exploded in my truck or worse the short where ever it is could turn it into a giant ball of flame. I managed to keep my signals working this morning after i stopped and replaced the fuse again in springfield after dropping the other half of at work. The real annoyance is burning about 5 gallons of fuel in 24 miles ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwww guess maybe i am just used to driving Tasha's old geo prizm and eagle everywhere and actually getting gas mileage that doesn't make me want to slit my wrist when i think about it lol.

 

Or cause a major wire melt down, don't PO the Ford truck gods.

 

lol think maybe they are already mad at me....i blame the blazer

 

See what happens when you start driving Chebbies????

Good mornin' boys and girls. It's not raining yet, but the sky doesn't look good.

I did some "custom engineering" this morning so that at least ONE of the riding mowers is ready for use. (The hinge point for the hood literally rusted off...had to fab some brackets to hold the hinge bar onto the hood itself.)

The other one is still a mess, and I hope to get to that one NEXT weekend.

The turn signals in my truck go out every winter...I think that moisture gets into the socket...oh well. While in the garage screwing around with mower parts, I discovered about half a dozen bulbs, so I'll get to that today or tomorrow.

Hope y'all have a good day!

 

Took the car out for a good long drive. computer relearn. she is running great! hit a few yard sales, found a few cool albums and some reel to reels stuff! I so need a new turn table!

 

Woo hoo, Jerry dropped off the keys he's rather certain are for the dent. I'll find out if they're right here in a short once I'm done working on mowers.

 

yeah i have a few light sockets that i really need to replace because i am sure they aren't helping any

 

Man, you guys should've seen the yard I went to today. It's dent and bump side truck heaven. This guy just has a ton of cars. He's not actually a real junk yard. You have to know him for him to deal with you. He knows my wife's family, so that's how I found him. He's actually a good guy. I saw a perfect set of bump side quarters, all kinds of parts for dents. I know where I'll be spending my Saturdays through the summer.

On the way out, someone even offered to buy my truck. I just told him it wasn't for sale. I should've said $2,500!

Enough car stuff for today. I'm gonna get cuttin' on some wood. Some other guy just called about some tables and chairs for a restaurant in Ozark. I let all the ads expire months ago. Where are these people getting my number from??!!

 

dang it bob i had a bunch of tmaxx parts i was going to give you while you were here with whiskey and i forgot DOH!

 

Rich, Tim wants your 79 (#88) Bronco.... I've heard it just a few times from him! He say's you can work his butt off for it!

Unk Bob

 

lol...thats why i need richs bronco 2 fords to make up for 1 chevy

 

Sorry I missed you Bob. It figures you guys show up the minute I leave to grab some parts. This lady Tiff works with was disappointing. I thought she was going to bring the stuff she needed with her. She didn't. So we go over to Ozark to get the pads and rotors. I got two new headlights and turn signal bulbs for the truck while I'm there. The guy rang up my stuff and her brake parts together. My lights would've come to around $27 with tax, so I give her $30. We get back and you guys were there, well RC was. Sorry about that Bob. Anyway, Me and RC wander around and shoot the proverbial breeze, then he goes and I get to work on the brakes. I get the front brakes and rotors done in no time and come in to tell her she's all set. She says thank you, tells Tiff good bye and leaves. DIDN'T EVEN OFFER ME ANYTHING FOR THE BRAKE JOB. Since she still owed me $3 from the change at the store, I paid her $3 to do her brakes. Well, that was disappointing to say the least.

On a lighter note, I got the grill out of my truck for you Bob. I even pulled the corner out. I'll do some dolly work to make it look a little nicer. RC brought the last piece of the grill puzzle today. The new shell is in there, but I have to drill holes for the new headlight brackets. I started to get rained on so tomorrow's another day.

Man, I get long winded, don't I?

 

Damn son I didn't hear that Brian what did you say?
R.C./Wiskey Runner was nice to meet you, Mostly Taz..... She's a sweetheart! Really nice to start putting faces to names, we really need another put another g2G in hand. I'll even throw the BBQ this time. BBQ beans, tater salad, brats, maybe some marinated pork steaks.......
