It is March already

When I was in my garage earlier this week I noticed I didn't have the Truck stock calendar to the right month... I didn't even have the 2022 calendar displayed. I still had December 2021 showing. My how time flies!

So Here is the March picture of the Central PA Truckstock attendees kicking up some dust on a dir troad in the mountains of Central PA


And my sympathies to Miss January, Bessie, owned by Bob Ingram.

I was planning on removing some of that Pennsylvania dust this winter but haven't gotten to it yet. My nicely rebuild engine sadly leaks oil in multiple places. Oil is everywhere as a result. An oil covered engine, and a blanket of Pennsylvania dust acquired following Abe around, has made a real mess of my engine compartment. I have the gaskets to fix the leaks. My goal should be to have everything fixed and cleaned up by the time our snow is completely melted. It should be doable, but I am a member of Abe's procrastinator's club. We'll see.

March Madness


Definitely March weather, 10C yesterday and stormy today. Worked on my brakes yesterday.

Nice to see the Convoy, is Abe leading or are you lapping him?

Abe is definitely leading. Out there, in the wilderness, off the paved roads, we had no clue. Where Abe lives is called the Pennsylvania Wilds. It was great to have a guide show us around to the local points of interest. I've forgotten the exact mileage, but we must have covered more than a hundred miles in our two days of excursions.

Huh, that's funny, my truck wasn't dusty.

I feel for you, Tom. In honor of the first day of spring, I dethatched and mowed my lawn for the first time this season. While it's no soccer field like Abe does, I do have about 12,000 square feet of lawn to care for.

That's great Wayne. Here's what our back yard looks like this morning:




It's been in the 40's and low 50"s the last few days, and we've lost a lot for snow, but it's not quite time for the lawn mower yet.

Well, now it is April... And it supposed to be 27°F tonight.


Here is Dave's awesome family heirloom 55 F350 Express gracing the month of April.

Well obviously that picture was taken before we "hit the dusty trail" 😆 I was hoping to take some of that Pennsylvania Mountain dust home with me. That is until I got to Illinois. Mother Nature had other plans and gave me a free truck wash😊
