Even though we didn't really have a winter, the temps are finally up! Time to start wrenching again!

Here's what takes all my spare time (which isn't much, working seven days a week since January):

Drug it home last week. Been cleaning and painting, rewiring, and prepping for re-installing the motor. I need to get some more pics with all the work I've done.

 

Looking good. I really like the 73-79 ford trucks.

 

Farming (we'll be baling hay by the end of this week), visiting the girlfriend, and putting gas in my trucks. That about sums it up. Haha

 

Nephews 86 Mustang did the top end stuff GT40 heads and cobra intake.Now changing from speed density to mass air meter. Picked up a 98 GT playing around with that.My 68 F100 and working like crazy.

 

Yea the garden is in and I have captured 3 honey bee swarms this year. Its time to start extracting the honey out of my other hive.

Getting a truck ready for the GSM Great Smokey Mountain F100 Run June 21 22 23

 

Quads... Got enough to keep me busy as it seems there is usually some maintenance to perform or something about to break - or DID break - to keep me pretty busy with that!!

Trailer, too, as we get ready for our next trip!!

 

Between 3 vehicles and my house and my job it seems the work is never done. Installed a new paver patio out back of my house as a second level to the concrete patio. Been slowly working on putting up all the privacy fence that my wife keeps gently reminding me was supposed to be done last summer (ooops) New fender flares on the f250 and just got new lower control arms in for the 'stang

 

You have to love that 7 day work week, just look in your lunch box to know where you are at, full you go to work, empty it is time to go home. I always loved the 77 high boy we had at work, Canadian build and it never died from rust like the other truck.


Inherited mowing the home place, 6 acres, from my sisters unanimous decision I have nothing to do. I use a front mount JD 935 diesel mower, 60 inch deck and tow a Swisher 60 inch mower, rebuilding another Swisher for a total 14' cut when done. With no rain this year I am doing good for getting this dumped into my lap.

Scattered the neighbors JD9500 combine across the shop, have 2 augers remaining to return from the machine shop receiving new flighting. After that a complete rebuild on the corn planter and have to pull the auger on a grain cart we picked up last year for new flighting.

 

Got the nephews Mustang done and the alt. pulley came off never seen anything like that nut was gone fixed that then the power steering pump seized up messed up 2 serpentine belts in 2 days.

 

Got racing started, been to couple races now. Finished friends car up finally(after 18 yrs) and he is joining the racing scene again.

Got a few projects going in the garage. Front end on '64 Galaxie, rear suspension project on '69 F100. It's always sumthin.

If all else fails..........hop on the bad motor scooter and RIDE!!!!
