December to remember 2022 chat and BS thread.

Well here we go again, time to start another monthly chat and BS thread. So far Nov's chat thread has 4,098 views and 279 views. At least we have some old members stopping by more regular. And we have a few new Missouri chapter folks that are still figuring FTE out. And the hard core Mo chapter folks are hanging in there with the same ol same ol goings on and all.

I hope we can have a G2G (get together) this coming spring. I know with life, work, family and all the other stuff that happens, it is hard to get anything on the calendar. Maybe we can try again, after the holidays, cold weather and taxes are done.

Morning to all, sounds like a nice little G2G is in the works. And a bonus of getting to make JY laps looking for the good stuff with some fellow FTE members. What is the old Ford truck "part rules", you know like riding shotgun. He who calls dibs 1st, or he who touches it 1st?

Good Morning Everybody!

Joe. You aren't kidding. Seems like June was only three weeks ago.

I have to finish boxing up the brake kits this morning, then it's on to the drop rear bumper. Back to the drawing board for a new product. Literally. I have to draw it out to get all my angles and measurements, then I can start bending steel.

Rich, pretty much that, less the GSX chin spoiler, decklid spoiler and stripe package. There are other subtle differences. GSX is at the top of the wish to own list, at the level of GS Stage 1, it is akin to a Crewcab, Bumpside Snow Fighter package in Missouri, of which I know of one in secure storage in Armstrong with a true Fordnatic whose blood runs Ford blue. It delivered to the Moberly Ford dealership if memory serves correct.

Morning Everyone, well closer to good afternoon. Other than walking the dog and baking some berry crisp I really haven't accomplished anything today. I'm really enjoying the Blis in the 2016.No more worries about cutting someone off for being in my blind spot. I don't know how the crew cabs deal with their blind spots. Now I'm on a lets add a front and side mirrors kick. As usual I've got the parts, I just need to install them.

Mini G2G

Well I just talked to Eddie at Calway Salvage. He's a character. 72 and does what he wants. Bottom line THIS Saturday is out. he personally escorts people thru the yard and he's booked solid this Saturday. He charges $10, you gotta sign a waiver and ONLY He removes parts. So if you see something you may have to come back and pick it up later, possibly another day.

Soooo with that in the mix, do we wanna change to Saturday after next (10th of December) or do we just wanna meet at Joe's this Saturday and think on a different date/time?

I'm kool either way.

I'm good with either or both. Well....I haven't talked to my weekend scheduler. I don't think she has plans for me.
Of course my daughter goes to her OB on Monday and we will have more info on when my granddaughter will arrive. That will take precedence.
