August Hot Whadda' Yah Expect BS 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.


Day late, many dollars short. Yeah well.

Trying to tie up repairs & clear out projects.

Keeping the old JD running best as possible to hold back the bush land & jungle.

Stay safe all.

Thanks John. Great you could get in before the rush to post here. It really is an honor....

Second year running a hurricane hits under 100 miles from our vacation/anniversary destination.

Counting the days.

Have resuscitated the John Deere and it did a good job this weekend.

Have a great week all.

Nah, it took most of the clean side of storm. Just hope erosion didn't wash out too much around the house.

This is the "guest house" from the now missing "main beach house"

Went back & looked the place up on google earth.

The place we go is not your typical beach destination.

Very close to river that drains GA. Very wild & not commercially developed.

Sand is not brilliant white & water is not blue. Commercial & sport fishing is the main economy

Not a neon, gaudy souvenir shop within a hundred miles.

Lots of deer, eagles, dolphins, ghost crabs & the occasional bear.

Used to get this place for $800 a week.
