Hello 2021

Hey all, been busy new job new gf how's everyone? I now work for Carolyn's Transport (basically the old R.D. Clark). Lincoln had become more corporate since it sold, the new trucks are automatics, those and a few more reasons I decided it was time for a change.

So my driveway has become Brendan's new parking space for his father's old Bronco, lol. Someone tried to steal it from his apartments parking lot!! LOL The trucks a wreck but he'll never get rid of it. I hope to get it to at least yard drive, so I can hide it behind the garage!! Anybody have any parts for an 87-91 truck? specifically it needs the drivers window, that way I can lock it. That's about it for now TTYL

Nice, I was on the wagon for about 15yrs. Voluntarily got off a couple of years ago. Had the flu about a month and a half ago, been a long time since I got the flu and it scared me.

Doing pretty well, moved last March and the "settling in" never seems to end. Still in the midst of endless projects. How about yourself?

I'm almost always home. Either working my day job, working on the house, or working on pinball machines. What about everyone else?

I’m divorced and now remarried. Bought a house in Higganum. I’m working down in Stamford right now doing an upgrade on the Stamford waste water plant. I’ve got my wife’s grandfather’s 1940 Ford 2 door sedan in my garage that I need to get sold so I can get the room back! Plus my wife’s Subaru Legacy needs sold as well.

The tractor is definitely sweet! Hannah operating it is even better. The Ford is quite a piece. I’m somehow in charge of selling it. He wants $25k for it. It’s in immaculate shape. He tells me it’s all original. Anything over $25k I keep for myself. It’s in my garage...I think it’s all mine, lol. He picked up and moved to Florida and left the car. When the house sold I had to go get it.
