This sounds familar, now that the warm weather is here so are the outside chores. Cutting grass and watering trees then back to cutting more grass between working!
The 69 is a sweet ride too.

Glad to hear you made some progress. So far this weekend all I've got done on my truck was to use it as a truck. I loaded up a bunch of steel, my welder, and some tools and went and helped my brother build some gates. Yesterday I even towed my trailer around a bit.

Maybe today I can do some of the chores on the truck
