Got to listen to screamin' Jimmy on my way to my parents...
Watching turkeys run on ice is surprisingly hilarious...
This storm was insane, TF Green in Providence just south of me got almost 40" of snow. Not sure if Boston knocked off the storm in 2003 but this felt worse than that one.... or is it the fact I am 40 and not 17 now....

All I can say is wow, just wow! Thank you for sharing that detailed restoration thread, what an amazing project. I've been to Germany several times for work, most recently to the Tube & Wire Show in Dusseldorf back in 2024. I'm well aware that Germans invented beer, and are quite good at it. So I'm not sure if I'm more jealous of your truck, or the occassional beer bottles in your pictures!
You and I have a few things in common, although I don't have anywhere close to your technical skills. About 30 years ago I had a 1965 Chevy C10 torn down to a rolling chassis for rebuild, but a change in jobs forced me to abandon the project. I also rode a touring motorcycle for years, but age (and a slight disc issue in my back) has pushed my wife and I into a truck and fifth wheel as our new adventure machine. Last but not least, I'm also blessed have grandkids who remind me to be a little kid from time to time.
Keep the shiny side up, and the rubber side down sir!
65 Chevy C10, common man's work truck. Previous owner had hit a deer, so I got her cheap.
I got her this far before I had to move for work. Never did find out if she got finished.
1973 Electra Glide Standard. Helped a friend fix her up, then bought her from him.
The old shovel had a cool factor because of her age, but damn she drove like a truck! LOL.
Bought this couch (2007 Ultra) brand new, had a lot of fun on her. That's Devil's Tower (Wyoming) in the background.
The new adventure machine, at Homolovi Ruins State Park near Winslow, Arizona.
