that's not too bad. It's not great but the bed is a huge area to blast.

Yeah, but, takes a big bite out of the truck fund. I wish I could do it myself, just too damn big, for my little pot blaster.

I can understand that. Everything for me has been delayed due to budgetary restrictions.

One other thing I have to do, is get those new doors dipped. That's not bad, 70 bucks a piece. Nice thing is, all of the rust and paint will be gone. Took me a lot more work on those other doors to do that, wish I would have found this dipper sooner!

Hello folks it's been a while since I posted on here period here is what's been going on. I have put shaky my F250 on the sidelines for a while going to replace the rear diff cover and all the U-joints also the front pinion seal on it. Due to having to do this I bought a 2005 Ford Ranger and only had about a hundred and eight thousand on it. Shortly there after my father my father passed at beginning of this month period that combined with having to take the flight back to Kentucky and deal with issues back there it put things so it on hold for the minute so I can get a few more parts and I looked under my truck F250 and it looks like I'm going to have to pull the rear axles and put new seals and bearings in there too. Hopefully I will be posting more off more often

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

I have been gone a few days too.

Lots of medical stuff. Wife had a colonoscopy that was fine. Fri. we went to Reno to have her eyes measured for cataract surgery. Tuesday we go to Reno to have her first one done. Then Thursday we go to Carson to see her wound care doctor. Then the following week we go back to Reno to do my pre-op visit to my Orthopedic doctor. Then the 11th of April I get my first knee replaced. I will be so grateful to be able to walk again.The pain has about beat me to death, both mentally & physically.

Evening everyone.

Sorry for your loss Goofy. It's never easy, and all the work involved makes it even harder to grieve. Hopefully you can work through it all quickly.

I'm so sorry Ive been neglecting my FTE family.
I'm still here, it's just been crazy around here ever since the year started. If it's any sign of how this year is going to be, than I'm ready for it to be over!
Between our blind puppy(which is now 2 months old as of yesterday & healthy), High School graduation coming up, family fueds & other related drama(Cammy & the Grandkids moved out *finally* although she apparently thinks were her free storage unit), house & vehicles falling apart, Karl & Kaedons birthdays(Karl now 18 & Kaedon just turned 17 on the 28th & her party is this weekend), and to top it all off.... we recently learned that Cammys paternal grandfather has about 1 month to live AND lastnight we found out that on the 27th; Karls 17 y/o best friend was found dead from unknown causes. We're still mourning & in shock, but Karl is taking it really hard! He was like one of my adopted into the family neighborhood kids & we will miss him greatly.

Let's hope that today turns out better for everyone. I hope to be back on a regular basis by June after Karls HS graduation & his move to Wyoming. So, please bare with me & know that I haven't forgotten about you.

Thank you for starting the March Thread & helping to keep our NV Chapter going. You guys are the BEST! ♡♡♡

Good afternoon Nevada. Donna, seems that when it rains, it pours. I'm sorry to hear about all the problems. I'm really sorry to hear about Karl's friend, that is just so sad. Hopefully you can work through it, and come out and get some relax time!
