I have relative in Las Vegas. Their season is opposite of mine, too dang hot between June and September. They only work out in their garages during this time. Me on the other hand I work all year long because i have a heated shop, but I've spent many days in the snow working on cars. My work season before getting my shop was May to early October if I was lucky.
Well, it is still March . It was 64° today and sunny in North Central PA. Drove Old Betsy to Lowe's today . I needed 2 landscape spotlights for under 2 trees. The old ones didn't work. Darn squirrels must have chewed the plastic bubble over the dusk to dawn electric eye. Then they got corroded. The new ones don't have an eye
It was in the upper 60s today and my wife thought it would be a good night to take the F-2 for a drive to get something to eat and get away from her mother.
She came prepared for the first trip with gas c an, jump pack and parking brake.

Chelle also wanted me to mention she had her "pushing" shoes on. We didn't go too far on our first journey of the year, just to the next town over, about 10 miles. Both of the boys are within assistance distance if we need them.

Well good thing we took the jump pack with us, we'll sort of. We stopped for an ice cream cone and pulled into a corner spot to enjoy them. Forgot I had the headlights on. After we finished our cones flipped the switch and hit the start button and nothing. I pulled out the jump pack and nothing. Turned it on and off a few times and still nothing. Wiggled the clamps a little still nothing. Played around with the clamps some more and the positive clamp fell apart. After messing around with the broken clamp and having a light show on my battery the truck popped over and off we went home. Time for a new, and better, jump pack.
Hi Bob, I have one of these models and am quite happy with it. Have used it about 40 times and it holds a charge well and has plenty of cranking power for a dead battery. $155 on e-Bay.

I don't have to wait till March i drive Jack all winter . five years and 13,000 miles. The coldest morning this year was 6 degrees above. jfb.
From 1977 to 1998 I drove my 54 year round.... I miss those days.
If I had heard of patina in 1998 I might have had the body man patch the holes and make the new metal match the original patina/rust. Then I wouldn't have to worry about getting the truck dirty or scratching the paint.

Abe, the problem is you had the truck restored too nicely. I did my F-2 realizing I probably wouldn't have a show quality truck but on I wouldn't be afraid to drive on the street, or park in a parking lot or back into my garage. All of these places have added their marks to the truck. Both of my son's got their drivers license a few years after I had the truck on the road and I left them drive whenever they wanted. I had people asked me why I would let a new driver drive the truck, I'd tell them that's what is for. I have heard people say such silly things are "It's only original once" and the crappy finish on their vehicle is "patina" which means to me, "Needs paint". My truck was a total rot bucket and I assembled it using at least six parts truck so it would never have been "only original once" but, with all of it's flaws it's original to me, original from the first day I had it on the road after restoring it and all of the knicks, chips and dings are the history I've made with it.
