Lets hope June is lucky for all the farmers!!!!!

Good Morning, coffee is on.. AC is on...and off to work I go..Taking all I have to go in today to, I need to catch a break on this damn vacuum furnace I have been working on.. oh well..

 

Good Morning MI!

Happy Hump Day!

 

Good morning all. Here's to a good day Pat!

 

Well June is starting off good. Good weather, good workout this morning, and back to work.
Hopefully less rain this month, it's a killer trying to keep the truck clean.

 

I had a chance to look at the green truck this last weekend. It looks to be in pretty good shape. The DS bumper bracket is slightly bent making the bumper sit about 1/4" higher. No frame damage, just a bent bracket what can be straightened out with a BFH or simply replaced. The dealership will let me know today if they accept my offer. They came back with $17,9 OTD with the 05 bumper. I offered same price with the 08 bumper and I'll do the cab lights. Sooooooooo, here I sit.........waiting.

Incidentally, I ran an Oasis on the black 05 F350 and it came back as a blue 04 F250. I didn't even go look at it yet...I'll wait to see if the green truck falls through. I'm gonna low ball the F250 and see what he says. It needs some work to make it right and doesn't have a couple of things I would like, but if the price is right, I can't put up with a few missing creature comforts.

Happy JUNE to my Northern Neighbors!

Come on Summer Solstice!!!

Have a great MONTH everyone!!!

Joe.

 

mY FINGERS ARE CROSSED FOR YOU!!! Sorry for the caps, just had to log in to a app here at work..

 

Happy to see June and a sunny sky.

Looks like everyone had a safe weekend. We did, 3 days of relaxing and playing was needed. Worked on getting the pool ready to open, should be ready by Saturday

So when is the next GTG??? or beer gathering one night after work.

 

If I get this truck, I wouldn't mind attending the G2G.

 

I don't know about the black one anymore Jimmy. Green one had probs but they were taken care of. Like Pat said.

 

Yeah, I had a bad feeling from the start on that black one...

 

Would you like me to cruise over and look at the black one? You can just call me as well. Or we'll wait and see how the green one turns out.

 

It's entirely up to you...maybe I'll wait to see if the green one doesn't work out since that is definitely my first choice.

 

Dang Steve 71k posts. That's impressive!

Happy Wednesday and finally we have warm weather!

 

I have the furnace tuned it at 1100*!!!!!!!

need to check her out at 1550, and 2150..but 1100 degrees is in!!!!!

time to go home and enjoy the corner
