Vacation

So we are on vacation in Cancun and I look down and all of the umbrella stands by the water have 4 of the prettiest acorn nuts that look to be 3/4—11/16 and I start thinking how am I going to get them loose and how am I going to get 48-50 (couple extra to be safe) home and I hope they fit in a suit case that only made here for free by 3 pounds. Oh and I hope the the threads are right once I get them home.

More evidence of my absolute craziness for our obsession and my wife’s case to have me committed

guess I”ll leave them here

I use acorn nuts on many builds. They leave a clean look

As I travel through the country side, no matter where I'm at, I am always looking around for old Ford trucks. I'm always checking out old abandoned RVs to see if they have the five lug wheels we Ford guys use on the F4/6 trucks. I don't know why because I'm not going to stop and buy anything and even if I did I'd have no way of getting them home.
