General Discussion Thread

Maybe you dont want to start a thread to get a yes or no answer.

Maybe you want to post a pic of your dog/grandkid in your truck.

We all have things on our mind that we want to say that may not be "Start a Thread" worthy.

Post all that here.

so many readers and no posters, I couldn't stand it.

My bride got me this last week. A guess after 21 years she knows me.

Still trying to ID the carb in on the 302. No tag, no luck.

Got a blue tarp on my trailer and now it's not ugly anymore, dammit. Neighbor got something big that came in a 12' skid, now I have the lumber needed to finish off the end walls on the shelters. At $.20 a foot it's $60 in lumber. Tomorrow I get to take the angle grinder to 210 carriage bolts, this retirement program just rocks.
Keep up the photobombing Rich, to many of us can't read and a pictures worth 47 words or something like that.
