May Mayhem BS

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.

Starting out real nice. Surprise. The Oven, I know is right around corner.

Sooooo far behind in projects & chores.

Y'all have a good one.

Looks to be soggy for a while.

Took the '54 out this morning for a "battery charge" drive. 15 enjoyable miles with no issues. Getting ready for my car club's annual car show Saturday the 20th in Columbia, Ms. If y'all want to get your rides out for exercise, come on out and join us. Steve

Just north of the Highway 98 and Highway 13 intersection. Carquest auto parts on Lumberton Road (Hwy. 13) is the main sponsor Lots of door prizes, 50/50 pot, and lots of awards for cars, trucks, and bikes.. Usually 80 to 100 vehicles. I think this is the 9th annual show we've done there. Steve

Looks like we have developed a rain pattern.....
last 3 days in the late afternoon.... 3/4 of an inch, 3/4 of an inch and last evening...1" of rain.
Well, at least we have the morning and most of the afternoon to get outside while it is dry.

Mother's Day weekend is here.
If you still can honor your Mom... you are blessed!
Have a nice weekend!

Well folks, I'm trying to figure out how to act...

Last time Terri & I finally managed to get away for a few days she came home with a broke leg.

Time before that, I spent the trip pretty much immobile down in the back.

Wish us luck with our "get away", we'll need it.

Yep Dave, your vacation luck has been sub-par of late. I was down on the coast over the weekend, and made it back unharmed. I'm going back at the end of the month, for "Jeepin' the Coast". I'll be extra careful.
