Another month is upon us, like it or not.

I just got done detailing the Lightning in time for it to rain on it, figures.

 

Seems like rain is an everyday thing right now

 

Wife left this morning for a week to visit her mother and Grandfather in New York. I spent the day working in the yard and by about 2pm I was praying for rain!!

 

Thought she just got back

 

Wow, the summer is almost over. Praise Jesus. Sorry guys I have been slack on the forums my father is in the hospital suffer from the result of a minor stroke coupled by the parkinsons that he has had for the past 7 years.

But in wrenching news, I just picked up my trans and stall converter and the engine is arriving freight tomorrow. Now to figure out all the little stuff I had forgotten

 

Hope your dad get better

 

Axel,
We all understand that life gets in the way. Hope your dad gets better.

 

I have been cutting brush and junk bushes and saplings for the past 3 days, The previous owner was disabled and had crappy sons so needless to say I am catching up on a ton of way past due trimming and clean up. I must say it is looking a ton better but I am biased...

 

And when you get done it be time to start over and do the first part again

 

Man, I hear that. I got to get up at the but crack of dawn to cut my yard before I am baking in the sun. When my wife and I first moved in to our house there was a bush bigger then my truck next to the house that had grown out of control. Could see out the windows. It took me 7 hours to make it go away.

 

The new heart of Pepe the pickup!

 

I hurt all over but my hands hurt the worse. I used round up to kill the weeds and vines along the fence line but I didn't want a bunch of dead saplings standing. Once I get it cleaned up I can use chemicals to keep it under control.

The new engine is going to be awesome. I am ordering the carb for the 79 today.

 

Let the fun begin of stuffing it in place

 

Well heller there guys. Been a week

 

Guess what. Cranked the Ford today. And HOT damn does she sound good.
