Craig, thanks very much for the heads up! I did not know any of that was going on. I am going Thursday morning. I hope the traffic is not to bad. I might just stay put at the Riverside if that is the case and fight my way out Sunday morning. Drats.... I hope it isn't to bad.
Happy Sunday all!

Good Afternoon All! just got back from the big city of Safford.... picked up a short flareside box for the pile-0-parts.
Rocky the 63 project is making some headway. i got the bed painted and the cab striped out for paint.
not much time to work on it lately.

Looks like a nice find Bill.
Yea Jim I hope it isn't bad for you either. Getting to the Riverside isn't that bad. Only a couple of lights. Let me know how it is. Everyone was real upset over this deal. I just filled out a survey for the River Palms that they sent me via Email. I told them I wasn't returning until all the road work was complete. This deal with Casino Dr was suppose to of been done by Dec. if I remember correct but it wasn't started until months late. Then they screwed up on connecting pipes for a pump station I believe. Where they put the pump station wasn't where the pipes were so they had to re-pipe the lines. This was a 12.5 million job. Who know what the real cost will end up being.
Anyway Jim Good Luck. Post up what it is like. We like to stay there on our trips to & from Northern Nevada. In fact we planned to stay a night going home this coming weekend but canceled after the three nights we spent last Saturday-Monday.

Good morning AZ. Grats Kermmy on the posts and Nice work on the truck Bill! That's the same color I want to paint mine. I spent the weekend changing spark plugs, ripping out the nasty carpet in the cab, washing the bed out a few times (PO was into lawn mower repair, lots of oil stains on the bed), and prepping the tailgate for paint.
Drove it to work today, runs way better than when I got it but there is so much play in the steering... I think the P/S conversion is calling for me.
Hope you all have an awesome Monday!

Oh, the way I know when summer is over is when the low night temp gets below 70 degrees. It was some time in Oct 2010 when that happened.
