Ha! I can almost guarantee, at some point, I'll get a call just like Saturday! Those guys miss me when I'm away, I think they break stuff on purpose so they can call me in!

Where was the truck, and what did you have done to it?

Luckily, I'm about as far from the snow belt as a RI guy could hope to be. Wind and rain is our forecast.

Had it down at Toms work. Had a 2013 bed, tailgate, lights and bumper put on. No more wood flat bed. Bitter sweet really.

Where abouts are you in RI Bob? You up closer to me?

Nice! No rust, I bet it looks sweet.

I'm in Charlestown, about a half mile from Charlestown Beach.

Flippin' sweet! Same color too?

I'm very close to the water, can't see the beach from where we are, but we can smell the salt in the air when it's warmer. And the wind is a lot worse than it is further inland! We like it though, quiet, but not far from fun stuff.

Thanks Bob. Makes a big difference!

The bed is green, but as you can see, in some light you can't really tell.

Looks like a nice area your in. You lose power often being out there?

It's great out here at this time of year, no tourists. We actually just moved here in October, so we're not sure how it will be in the summer. It's a pretty non-party beach, so I'm thinking it'll be OK.

As for power, we haven't lost it yet, even in the high winds we had on Sunday. Either National Grid took high winds into consideration, or we've been lucky, lol.

I do plan on getting at least a 5500w generator though, just in case.

Good evening gang, I must say the wind has been brutal the last couple days. Where is the Indian summer already!!

Hopefully this weekend will not be so windy. I need to sandblast my plow and see how big the holes get. Some are big enough to fit my fist through now. :-(

One day till turkey and stuffing bliss. Happy holidays everyone.

Good luck with the sandblasting adventures, Tom. Fist size holes? Maybe time for a new plow?

Good luck. I just hung the new bumper on the new bed and wired up the lights. She is a good to roll now, and looks like a new truck
