Thats one big boat! Ours is a 24 footer and thats a handful. I'll probably be at our summer place in Butte Meadows out of Chico working my butt off. Maybe get out on Lake Oroville at some point.

4th of July? That's long ways away, I'm still concentrating on getting through Memorial Day at this point...!
I live at Clear Lake, but I don't expect to be around during the 4th. I have friends who put on a huge camping party up in Willits every year and had to miss the last two years, really want to go this year. Plus, another friend in Oakland will be having a party that weekend so I'm likely to be bouncing from one to the other.
Performing at a small Renaissance Festival in Lower Lake this weekend, and then in Vallejo at the Northern California Pirate Festival on Father's Day weekend. And hope to squeeze in a 4X4 trip or two somewhere along the way, now that my rig is running good again.

@73f250highboy - neat truck! But you have only one more year to get it cleaned up before you can drive it on the road, so get crackin! 
I had a 65 F250 that I swapped in a 64 Lincoln 430, and like you I had to fab the mounts, so I can appreciate the work you did.

I just took my highboy out for a spin to get gas for the lawnmower. I am sure I burned more gas in the truck than I bought for the mower.
It is the first time I drove it since Dan worked on it a few weeks ago. It is running great. It had just rained so I "accidentally" fishtailed it on a few empty streets.
It has lots more power since the good tune up.
Now I need him to come down and help me with the suspension and steering bits!
