Checking In!!

Hello to all of you....It has been too long since I've posted anything to the forum! My truck is still cruising and keeping cool even with the hot weather we've been having here....it is a little dusty.

Between starting a business and continuing to teach classes at SJSU I haven't had time to do a too many truck projects. Here's a pic from this spring when we still had some green around California!




I'm am hoping and praying that we can avoid a wildfire out where we live....If given the choice, I do know which vehicle I'd use in an evacuation!!

Dan

Dan its real nice to see your Avatar Pop up. A few weeks ago some of the No Cal guys were talking about a get together of some sort maybe next spring, lunch , or maybe more ???. At this point its nothing firm, just talk, anyway at that time I realized I hadn't seen you on the board lately. Im glad your doing well, and just busy. Take care.

Hey Dan,
Good to see you back on here! I think we drove pretty close to your place this summer
coming up the 101 to San Francisco this summer. It was a lot browner than your pic shows there!

Hello Brian,

That's "Rock Moss Green" from TCP Global. It's a single stage solid color paint.

Then you were pretty close....when drove up 101 through Morgan Hill you were about 4 miles away!

Maybe next time......and yes...that pic is a little dated. From the green it was apparently in May. In late May, California turns into the Golden State!
