Morning Jason. One of my friends hid a bunch of random things in those plastic Easter eggs - like a Q-tip, Harbor Freight coupons, dog treats, etc., and sent people on a hunt for them. Kinda funny...lol.

I saw one on FB this AM that showed a mother that put out laundry baskets full of cleaning supplies. LOL! She did have their real baskets waiting for them afterwards though....

I would have made them clean first, but I'm evil like that lol

Word out of Drums, PA (eastern area) is that a PADOT truck clocked a bridge on I81 with its bed...put it up to get anti-skid back to the spreader while driving. Ripped the bed clean off the truck. That's a bad morning...

Oh I can just imagine the look on their faces when you did that.

Morning everyone and welcome to Monday. Maybe I should not mention that it is suppose to be in the mid 40's and partly sunny all day. There is in the forecast for some frozen or mixed precipitation a couple of times in the 10 day along with some rain. There is no mention of snow at this point.

Bill,

That's a bad day right there. I almost feel sorry for the driver.

Looking good under the hood! I should snap some pics of my touch-up work on the weekender rack & tool box as I get them ready to reinstall on the Super. I've been a rattle-canning fool lately!

Morning Neil. This snow's disappearing fairly quickly it seems...so, is what it is. We're actually setting a box culvert in Clinton Co. today - they didn't get as much as we did.

Thanks Jason. Got a LONG way to go yet, just doing what I can as I can. This weather's not doing me any favors since I have to work outside.

Thanks Pat. Working my way across to the driver's side cleaning and fixing as I go. Certainly not perfect, but improved...for now that's good enough.

I was really hoping to bring the truck home out of storage this week, but that's not happening. Stupid weather.

The snow put a stop to my plans for tonight. I'll get something done on the Bull instead, I suppose...not a bad thing, just not what I had in mind.

I managed to get some stuff bought for the 67. New front calipers and pads, front panhard bar, and the drag link.

I need to spend some money on both trucks. Got a few miscellaneous items to order, stuff like some new o-rings to seal some leaks on the OBS, and seat levers and ***** for the Bull since the buckets I got didn't have them. Still weighing whether or not to buy the turbo and sticks for the OBS....that's a $2k bill...ug...
