I was thinking about picking up a bag of weed and feed and mixing some up and putting it down with the watering can, that way I can control the dandelions and some thistle Morris. The only weeds we have in this area are dandelions and thistle but I can't imagine buying anything bigger than a 10 k bag of what ever is available. Our yards are small up front but they're open so we have a community weed problem, back yards are fenced so only the neighbor has weeds.

Hopes the cats don't leave me to many gifts under the tree Gerry

Went shopping today and might have found a fishing hole








Its 16' long, SRW, more parts in garage, say it ran last spring, in good overall shape, asking 900, new coil, fuel filter and solenoid.
There's more






Comes with a frame.
Oh and by the way, theres a f47 in the garage and another truck, either a 47 or a 50, she was all over the place when she was talking. Neighbor wants in on a deal so we're popping ideas back and forth.

If you pick up a bag of weed you'll likely need the feed when you get the munchies...

First a light shower late this afternoon and now snow, bah humbug spring 2017!
I`ve never tried weed and feed for dandelion control Perry, I use a small pull behind yard sprayer as I have a few acres to do. It`s time consuming and usually I get behind in spraying, when it gets real dry I have a very ugly yellow yard.
I`m not a morning person Gerry, a good thing I don`t have a school bus route.
Some fishing hole! Not my favorite year of Ford trucks but still exciting, finding anything with a flattie is pretty rare 63 years since they were last used. Hope you can close the deal, keep us posted.

Cold drizzle coming down here, may see it for a day or 2. Got the dent in my door pushed out, got most of it gone.
I'll know by tuesday how serious James is about the deal, I went there for the truck and he went a long for the ride and to think about a project like the tub and frame. I have most of the parts to make the truck a runner but like the tub and frame with the flat head more. The truck would max out his skill level and that would be the better deal for him. I'll charm her and start at 750 for both and let her fight me up to 900, will put 200 into the deal for what I want and James will pay the rest including towing on the truck. I'll get the flat head, rad and transmission and will give him my 351w, a rad, duallie rear axle. Theres a front suspension and rear suspension from a MG in the yard and I'll see if it will come with the deal. Theres a deal to be made, we just have to sort it out first. The big selling point is that she gets that part of the yard cleaned out and it doesn't cost her anything and I get a bunch of workable parts.

April showers, better now than in May, my work season will start soon so I hope that most of my yard work and small projects get done. Doing these small income jobs have helped but they are still a bit of a distraction. Getting a set of Cherokee grey bucket seats tomorrow, they're for the f250 and come close to matching the Explorer seats in the f350. Last time I messed with dandelions was with a waxed bar that I dragged across the yard, was about 30 years ago. Have a garden fork that I'll use to areate the part of the yard that doesn't hold water.

Happy Monday Mornin'all. Going to be a crappy week weather wise. hopefully it goes by Fast. My cousin works at a local ford dealership. A couple years ago they built up a 55 f100 for the owner. He called me, asking if I need all the rubber pieces for mine. He said they accidently order double. 1set from carpenter, and 1 set from Mid Fifty. Other than the door rubber, everything else should work. Best of all, It's free! Have a great day guy's.

While April showers are better than May one I`m sure we`ll get those too.
Are you back on the bus today Gerry?
Sweet deal Grant, if it was closer I`d be interested in the door rubbers.
We only got a frosting of snow here, a crappy week here also.
