Another Great Week
Well, another excursion to Boy Scout summer camp has come and gone, and ol' Grover successfully carried our troop's gear there for the second year in a row. I'm thinking maybe I ought to paint something on the hood, like WW2 pilots did each time they made a kill. 
I'm awfully glad I don't have a trailer queen.

I had 2 big family gatherings over the weekend, one for the wife's family and one for my side. I drove my truck to both of them and spent quite a bit of time giving the little kiddies rides.
It sure felt good to see the looks on all the faces of the doubters who have been poking fun at me for years for laboring on an old piece of junk (thier words, not mine)
Man, driving is fun!

Hey Don,
sounds like it was fun, any up to date pics of Grover. I haven't seen him in a while. This summer I hauled mulch, brush, today got tables at the church for my wife's yard sale. Yes, I am getting some scratches and chipped paint, but it a lot more fun using my truck than just saving it for Sunday afternoon drives. Old Betsy has a job this fall. It is in a wedding!

The biggest difference is the appearance of the engine bay. When I overhauled the 239 I painted the engine (except for the valve covers) and engine bay. The engine is Cummins yellow, which is a tad brighter than the yellow paint the engine ought to be.
