Good Morning everybody
It's beautiful out, and I think the truck is going to get a bath today. This would be the first time since we got back from our camping trip that it's been washed. And you may not know this about me. But, I don't like a dirty vehicle, yes it's true
.
I also need to wash it since I used some WD-40 on both front doors to remove some adhesive (Yes WD-40 will remove adhesive from decals and such). I added a couple of badges on both front doors for the Coyote 5.0 engine.
Well they faded out and got to where it looked like a metal strip with no print to them. So I took those off, and bought a pair of different emblams/badges. Now I want that WD-40 off of the paint. And the truck is dirty anyways.
Planning on spending the day outside, and hopefully I can get Shari to spend the day outside with me today. And Tim and I have tickets to the wrestling match in Raleigh this evening.
Here's the new badge I have coming for the truck.
Y'all have a nice Saturday

Badge looks good Bob!
Got the steering fixed on Ol' Blue this morning. Then I picked up some more corn and set that out, also set out a couple more squash and cucumber seeds.... maybe these will work out better than the last ones.

I hope y'all have had a nice weekend so far. I've sure been busy. Yard looks better (even though the wife did that). Truck looks nice, but now we will with little to no doubt have a Tsunami anytime in the vary near future. And Tim and I are leaving in the next 15 minutes or so for Raleigh for our WWE Wrestling match we've been waiting for. Yeah I know. But we sure do get a kick out of it.
Hope y'all are good.

Just got back from the Cleveland Draft House. Food was eh, but the girlie was happy so. think maybe an hour or two of some back porch sitting is called for tonight. got the gearbox torn down earlier. Tomorrow is working on setting up the bar, make sure we have everything we need to be able to dispense beer, as only a 'mobile keg-o-bar' can do.

Good morning everybody
Tim and I had a nice guy's night last night watching some Wrestling.
I don't think I have anything going until Wednesday afternoon. Going back to the welding shop to have the chrome tips lined up better. Since we used, Used parts the tips didn't line up just right. The right side needs to be turned about an inch, and it sticks past the rear bumper at least an inch further than the left side.
I still got a smoking deal in that exhaust system, even if we just put 2 new tips on I'll have less than $100 in it, and I've been priced $300 to $350 for the same set up.
But they did do a great job hanging the pipe. No rattles or knocks.
