April chat/general BS thread

Hey, its April and nobody has started this off!
After 2.25" of rain the other night the river is on the rise again. I'm just hopeful that it won't go nearly as high this time.

McLarty Daniel Ford Truck Contest

Thanks for letting us know - we'd noticed that the link wasn't working for people on mobile but it DOES work if you're on a computer. However, now it looks like the link was taken out altogether from my first post - are we not allowed to include links on here? Once we get the mobile link fixed, I can post again for those who may want to enter but is there a moderator who can let me know whether or not this is allowed and/or why it was deleted from the first post? Thank you!

That is correct. The rules for vendors using the site are much stricter than for the typical enthusiasts. We do have a forum specifically for vendors that choose to become site sponsors. They can post contests, sales, specials, etc.

If you think you'd be interested in becoming a site sponsor I will be happy to put you in contact with the appropriate parties.

EDIT: I am assuming you are an employee of McLarty Daniel Ford?

As I eat leftover pizza with 8 12-14 year old girls here for my daughters birthday party.

Suffice it to say I would rather be there.

Four years ago this



turned into this pile of parts.



Started out as a simple rebuild, decided to go all the way and restore it.
Well, today I finally got around to blasting and painting the frame.







The transmission has new bearings, the machine work has been done on the engine, just a matter of blowing off the dust and building it.
I have several stacks of new parts that were bought in '12 when I started this project.
Not sure what I'll do with it when I do get it road ready again, might have go against the wife's wishes and ride it for a while because I know with the price of gas down so are the prices of bikes.
Wish me luck, my memory ain't what it used to be. ;-)

What a beautiful weekend to go camping! Annual teardrop gathering with a bunch of friends at Beavers Bend State Park in OK. Good friends, lots of good food, campfires and great weather, what more could a guy ask for?
