Hot Mess August 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.


So for the first time in 65 years Mississippi has had July where every day was 90*or above.

Really? Thought it was hotter...

30 days before mine & a couple others beloved Bulldogs start a repeat of the 3rd hardest strength of schedule in the SEC.

Sure it will all go great.

Good luck, don't stoke out.

It will likely take me awhile to get all the pieces done, cab and box will be the first to get done so I can at least get it mostly put together and create a bit more floor space. Also trying to gather the plan in my head how I'll get it alll done before the snow starts flying...lol

When you finish, I'm going to bug you about a road trip to CTC again.

Perfect weather on the gulf.

Of course I'd like to go, but crap seems to keep me from it as of late.
