Glad everyone had a good time. Our plan of moving dirt got sidelined. We moved the first load last night. We we got out to his shop, their landscape guy who knew were moving the dirt decid3d for whatever reason to park one of trucks directly behind the tractor and took the key.

We came home got my trailer went out and grabbed my treactor. My neighbor here need some v wood for his smoker.

What I thought was my neighbor out there miss read the plate by 205 ft. The owner of 5hat lot was not real happy about deer feeders, cameras and deer stands on their lot. So I helped them Mark their property line.

The truck is way down on power under heavy load.

The front moved thru this morning and woke me up early with a lot of thunder and lightning. I fell asleep early so not a big deal. The lights flickered a few times but we never lost power. From the radar it looks like an inside day so I'm glad we went out yesterday.

Check it out! Cab and bed are free from frame too. Have to get some buds together, lift off.

God, this truck is so freaking clean for being so old and abused. Jesus

Looking good!
I spent most of the afternoon putting together a work bench. My mom in-law gave it to me a while ago, trying to get the basement cleaned up and organized again. Ordered the wife an over sized rocker recliner.

I love having a dad who knows his way around a shop. We spent 2 hours there, got the fender off, 2 fender liners, all body mount bolts off, bed bolts off, some work done outside, 2 doors off the ford, hinges. Literally its a cab sitting on a frame. Would have taken me all day to rig up some **** to work.

Then I spent the rest of the day conspiring with him to change my address to the county my garage is in to bypass all emissions **** so all my rides could loose their cats and mufflers and go slow parts.

Now im home, talking with my painter, planning our half day. Have a full paint job, has to be delivered Friday, its black, and painter needs 3 days to 4. Tomorrow is our first day to see it.

Shouldnt be an issue since I turned a 55 hour Driver side job on an F250 in 2 days, delivered in 4.

Jacob you are staying busy. Truck is looking good. I cleared a little brush for my neighbor, while he started smoking ribs and a butt. Got my grass cut. We walked back over and just kinda chilled with them. He made roasted corn, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. We all got full. He got a fire in the fire pit going using the wood cut yesterday when we were at the land. It was nice just to kick back

That's awesome to hear Jacob. I suggest she put money in the TSP plan. It's a challenging career but can be very rewarding.
