Hey Joe, have you talked to Scott lately? I know he's still alive because I see his posts from time to time on FaceBook, but he's been keeping a real low profile around here. Especially since his chariot took a nose dive, not that I'm one to pick on him about that.

It will be back soon enough. I'm sure within a week we all will be moaning & groaning about the sauna outside.

Jeff, got an RV rubber roof question for you...if your game for a repair project (via computer). What is the best way...short of paying someone to do the dirty work....to repair these one piece roofs? Got a spot on the neck of ours that leaking water into the bedroom.

Have not.. but pretty much all of us keep a low profile this time of year. I spend every daylight moment not at work trying to keep up with the yard or working on the shop before it gets ridiculously hot.

Teenager motivated by $$$; you'd be amazed what you can get out of one for a small investment.

That is true but you also have to factor in their lazyness level & thinking abilities. Some times you can tell them this goes there, mow that area & help me here & they work with no problems. Other are up your *** about how to do everything or halfass it cause they dont know how to ask.

In other news.... found out how much taxes, tags & insurance would be on a Peterbilt for a farm...... not bad but not cheap. $773 if paid in full (insur.) for a year. Thats all 3 together. $64.42 per month isnt bad for a truck that size. 46,000 gvwr.

What model and motor? While I've never been blessed with one...Riggs was a big KW fleet; I've often thought that I wanted a 379 long nose. But that was a different career years ago.

Looking into it with an '85 359 Cummins & 9spd. Havent talked to the owner yet since I wanted to know what I was getting into first. Didnt want to take on a project this size if I couldnt even tag/insure it.

I don't know is you guys have checked this out before, but FTE has a "Picture Battles" where people can vote between your pic and someone else's.

(click the camera below the "U" in the Enthusiasts at the top of the page)

Where I am going with this, is the recent pics from our last GTG have skyrocketed my stats to #28 on FTE... an most of it is the pic of the brisket!

Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - Ford-Truck Battles - Stats

Check it out, maybe we can get in the top 10
