Very nice, Ken. It's good to see that green hood leading the way!

Does it count if there's not really a windshield? Or if it's not really a truck? It is a restored/rebuilt garden tractor, is that close enough? It is first day of spring lawn mowing, though.

A variation of Through the Windshield thread.

We are watching our Great niece. I was working in the garage when she got dropped off. So she jumped on my truck and pretended she was driving.


Then she played taxi and picked me up to take me to the ice cream stand called the Ice Shack.

That's awesome, Abe! It looks like your Grandpa's truck may have found a new heir to keep it in the family.

Those are great pictures Abe. Something you both will want to reminisce about as the years go by. The pictures will just get better and better as reminders of the special times you shared together in, "Uncle Abe's", old truck.

Sketchy continues to go brrrr, and the dog continues to hate it.

Melted a plug wire doing it before that pull. Runs really good on all 7

You dog cracks me up. I would love to be able to take my dog on drives, but my truck terrifies him. Shoot, he even gets a little freaked out just being in the shop, especially if something noisy is going on.

Finally I can post a pic here as well. Super excited to have the truck out for the first time ever. That field is flooded every spring. Kind of like having water front property until about June when it dries up. I call it Tranquil Acres Lake. Wife calls our place Tranquil Acres. In about 1-2 weeks the spring peepers (frogs) will be out looking to breed and if you stand on the driveway you will not be able to hear anything except the noise of them, will drown out regular conversation its so loud.

"First time ever". Congratulations. Well done on getting your project out of the garage and onto the road. Enjoy the ride!

Went for a drive through the Red River Gorge yesterday:


Sorry for the windshield bugs.


One of the many overlooks.



This is the same area it laid down last year. I drove the loop in the opposite direction. Maybe that's the trick?
