The year is half over already. I cannot believe how fast time is flying by. Anyway, welcome to July!

Jim

 

Happy July 1st, Jim this is the first day of prosper and good health. Leave June behind you and strive to gain, Like Hank mentioned we are here
Hello FTE Friends, I have a bag o works for the 4th ( BANG )

 

Still have another month of Allstate roadside assistance for what it's worth. I will take this Hawthorne run, and then put the truck and trailer up for sale. God willing, I will find a Ranger I can fit into to take its place. Maybe even a 4x4, so I can still make the Pismo run in February next year.

Morn gang
Off to make some coffee and shake these cobwebs
Hey Jim we have an auction here on Saturday, might have a chance to pop in and look around. Will atv`s and big bikes fit in the back of a ranger? Seems tight but I don`t know
Have a good one ,,,,,

 

Scott are you up in my neighborhood? I`m local today and if I happen to see you next week I made 10lbs of jerky that will be finished this weekend

 

ATV's will fit, but big bikes probably not. Since I have to get an extended cab, that means the bed is only 6 feet long. So, I will most likely buy one of those utility trailers from harbor freight, and add some 5/8" pressure treated plywood to it for the big bikes. Only $349 for the trailer, and then I would also get a spare tire carrier, and spare tire.

Jim

 

Jerky awe I love jerky, were done for now, until fireplace people get it together for Install, might be back in a week or so

and a lug wrench sorry Jim I just had to say it

 

I have two lug wrenches, which I am sure would fit the lug nuts of the trailer and Ranger. Just too small for the ones on the F350.

Guess who forgot to come subscribe to the new thread again this month and was checking his user cp wondering why no one was posting... Yep. Me.

Sorry to hear about the rough trip Jim. I'll keep my ear to the ground for a Ranger. How much do you want for the trailer?

 

Good Morning NorCal...It's been so long since I've posted, I've almost forgotten how to write. Life got in the way for the last 6 months, but I think I see light at the end of the tunnel.
Hope you're all doing well, have a great day.

 

Welcome back Sparky. I know all too well about life getting in the way.

Rick, I am going to list the trailer for $2,000. I will keep the winch on it, but unless you buy the truck too, you will need to either wire your truck for the winch or add a deep cycle battery to the trailer to power the winch. I have an 18 inch extension cable that plugs into the winch and then a receptacle under the rear bumper to power it now. There is a kill switch under the hood between the truck's battery and the receptacle. I just turn a key and it supplies the 12v needed to run it. I will be putting both up in the for sale/trade thread, but I have one more tow to do, so I am going to wait until that is over. I picked up a used tire from a local tire shop for the truck yesterday in case I have another flat on this last run.

Jim

 

Good luck Jim! I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

Good to see you back Sparky.

 

I was at work today, well at a supplier's site. A guy I'm working with, who was not born here, said, "it's nothing special, just the 4th of July." Well. I gave him a nice backhanded slap to the chest and said, "for those of us who were born and raised here the 4th of July is the greatest day of the year." I think he got the point.

 

YEAA thank you Andy, have a great fourth a July Guy's and gal's

 

Hope everyone has a safe one. No accidents!

Jim
