April BS Tread, Fred, Red... Darn It Thread

Welcome visitors to the monthly Mississippi Chapter BS Thread... where we mostly discuss the vagaries of our weather.
If you are a MS Ford truck (any year, vintage) owner, please say hello & especially if you are interested in having the coveted chapter membership added to your FTE status.
If you're in a neighboring state/region or just like us, please feel free to join in & post.

We love projects. We love pictures of projects. If you know of a automotive event close by that may have slipped our notice, please tell us about it.
If you're out & about in the state, say where & when & we can do IRL for a cup of coffee or cool beverage. If you need advice/info/helping hand, speak up & we'll give it a shot.

Yes it's April 3rd.

Little slow off the mark & abut was able to avoid April Fools jokes, etc.

More tornadoes & that's crap. Can't use the obvious word cause' I won't be punning over human suffering.

Easter soon, & that's salvation to strive for.

Got a to do list that just keeps getting longer as I suppose everybody has this time of year.

Carry on y'all.

Well aren't we a talkative bunch.

Don't everybody stare at the sky at once. We can't all drown at the same time.

Yeah, shame on all of those other guys!

Sorry, Dave. This is a busy time of year for me. I hope everyone is well. And I hope everyone has blessed Easter.

Hello from the coast! Been busy here too!

My son and I tackled replacing the ball joints and tie rod ends on his 92 F150 in the last week. That was a first for me. Also replaced/repacked the front wheel bearings. All went well

Getting ready to have it repainted within the next month. At least that’s the plan

Father son projects are always fun. My oldest son's first vehicle was a 92F150. Send us some pics so we can follow your progress. Hopefully we can see you with it at Crusin the Coast.

Hope all had blessed Easter. Got to see some family.

Was nice to see the sun finally come out & the damp in the air & the cool at least, burn off some.

The ground... not so much for a week or so.

Be a sin to cover that metal work.

Well, I am very aware at how many sins can be obliterated by a digital camera.

But you do have a heluva' base that you're starting from.

I'm not as far along in the project as I had hoped to be but considering the space I have to work in with my panel stored along side I am pretty much where I figured I'd be building this box over the winter. There will still be some set backs and figuring out how I'll arrange things over the summer months , the panel still needs to be stored in there in the evenings..I was dumb for taking on another project...lol

Yesterday was cold, wet November. Right now April. I understand we'll have June by this afternoon.

Hope every body is doing fine.
