Good morning everybody
With the weather cooling off a bit, now to be in the upper 80's I've snagged me an almost #13 Brisket that I rubbed yesterday and let sit overnight. This morning I injected the boy, and he's in the smoker already.
Gonna get some RainX on the 2013, and vacuum it out from having Rocky in there a few times with me.
Hope y'all are good

Truthfully, at Walmart. Yup, but way less that any other grocery store. I'll go through the whole bin and pick out the one I like. I grab the one that isn't as stiff as a board. When I hold it from the middle, length wise I want it to bend. Seen that on a BBQ show, and there seems to be something to that madness.

That all sounds like a lot of work, I could come up and "help"...


But seriously, I'm taking a break from the truck today, finished what I could this weekend and yesterday, now I need to order some new parts.

Was a few pages back but nice flounder Matt. The guys have been tearing the drum up down east. Catching them in shallow water on live minnows. My wife caught a nice 17" drum two weekends ago. Hope to get some fishing in on Labor day weekend.

Yeah, I've been reading on the fishing forum, the big drum have come in, like 47-50"!!!!! I'm going Thursday somewhere salty to try and get in on some of the action. Kids want to go to the beach on Friday so I'll bring a couple rods and try from the beach then too!

Sound clip of the Flowmaster that was on the 2011, now on the 2013. But I'm using a wider, and longer tip. Made a little difference in the sound. It a little louder, and deeper tone.
Noise inside isn't bad at all. I can easily talk to the passenger in the front seat.

Print shop called late yesterday evening, and has my Coyote decals ready. I'll pick them up later this morning. I'm stoked, since I've had the idea for this for almost 3 years.
I have a few orders for them already. I'm hoping to recoup my money, and make a few bucks.

Looks good Bob.

Are you cooking a brisket on your chrome step bar?

Nice Bob! Not enough rust for my taste, but looks good on your glossy finish, lol.


Hey all, I finally got my PA tax return from 4 months ago. Can you guess where that money is going? If you guessed truck parts, you win! So where's the best place, brand, etc, to buy floor pans for my 78 F150?
