)... and then after MY black 99 Dodge diesel died on the way to town (it got a roll back wrecker ride to the shop later on). I grabbed my x bro inlaws/neighbor's Dodge and got the job done! As an added surprise kick in the junk, when I went to meet the wrecker driver I had a flat on my trailer....Part truck is home finally...and after some winch solenoid fairy smoke, it came onto the trailer, and I am selling parts off it on sat already. The Dodge it a normally a good truck and has dragged home some broke chebbies (for the x bro inlaw) and a # of other Fords...it earns its keep for sure.
You know it is a fun fence job, when you have to have a boat! That wrecker was HEAVY!

That ol diesel Dodge is a mainstay tow rig in my herd. But no worries I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CHEBBIE. lol
On the way TO a swap meet with the Dodge, cause ol blue was giving me fits that day.
Some day, some damn day, I will get it figured out. lol

Had a good run with her today, 13 mpg going between 60 and 65 mph and some around town errands... rides nicer than my Dad's '15 chebbie and tracks true down the road.
Thinking about swapping out the 3.50 gears for 2.75 so I can cruise 65 mph without winding 2800 rpms...
A little tight with the kiddo seat in the middle, but at least she is safe... I need to add another storage box in back for groceries, the Mrs. didn't realize the tool box was pretty full of tools!

So I checked out my last job of the season, it's a lite duty vanity, refloor, small hole repair. 2 long or 3 short days. 4 to 5 week refresh on a 3 bdrm main in a side x side 4 plex.
I'm either going property maintenance full time or breaking my leg at the end of this job and going back into retirement, like retirement isn't enough work.
