Sitting in a yuppie neighborhood with a working truck. Hybrids, mall crawlers, and upscale sedans seem to be predominant around here.

I forgot to give a BIG THANK YOU to all of my Brothers and Sisters in the Armed Services.

BTW, Today also marks 22 years with my blushing bride. . Our first official date was this evening in 1994, which has turned into a wild and wonderful ride.

Happy Saturday Nor Cal. Hope everyone has a good day and even better weekend.

Pigged out yesterday. Denny's for breakfast, Texas Roadhouse for lunch, and Hometown Buffet for dinner. Didn't cost me anything except tips.

Good morning and happy Saturday all, just sitting here listening to the Wednesday Stern show that I missed, going to cook some MEATY beef ribs today and off to a nice dinner at Tresseti's with the wife tonight.

Just bought a Lokar shifter for the swap in the 60, very nice American made product. I try to buy USA made whenever possible. All my guides, hinges, and body stock material are domestic.




On another note, had a hell of a time matching up some baseboard I have to replace.....turned out to be Teak-for baseboard. This is what $2300 worth of Teak looks like, $20 a board foot



Straight lining material

Oof! Dats some 'spensive saw dust!

Road trips are fun, but it is good to be home! The 6.0 ran great and I was able to pass anything that i wanted. The scary part was that I was running 6 over and most EVERYTHING was passing ME! (Except the Model A outside of Vacaville).

Couldn't have asked for a nicer weekend and let the Grandparents spoil my minion and the nieces and nephew.

It also felt good getting 10.5 mpg towing the 26' Jayco rather than the 8 with the 5.4L
