good weekend , yep . attended the mother road cruise with bessie . found a few naysayers , but to heck with them as i , the better half and ol' bessie had a great time. oh and before i ramble on , no pictures again . every time i touch that digital camera i mess it up , gotta get it fixed again or a new one . any way most folks seemed to like the old girl honestly and the lil' ones i seen { not enough of them if you ask me } really liked her . i also managed to score a factory mirror at the swap meet for $1.00 . for the most part i and a few others i know who were there with rougher looking vehicles were well accepted by all and it was a pleasant experience . no trophies and i wouldn't know anyhow's as i had to go back to work sunday when the awards were handed out and you had to be present to get it if you had one . i wasn't there for that anyway . i'm not for sure but while i was at work saturday afternoon , { split shift }, my wife spoke to a writer from one of the " rat rod magazines " as she put it as he stopped and was talking to her due to it being what it is and the flatty , and lo and behold he's doing an article on barn finds .well besides all the fun of once again being part of the " scene " and the cruise through town friday night , which was as usual a blast , i ended this weekend by scoring a rear bumper and both brackets { bumper has a couple of fixable boo boo's } for $ 10.00 . i am going back to take them off of the 55 they are on { no title parting it } thursday and i'm gonna see about the tranny cover as mine has a hole in it for the floor shift , and the stock three on the tree column shift and linkage on it , amongst some other trinkets . he's considering trading my modified frame for a stocker from under this 55 or the other one that also has no title , for my 55 . well see ya's later fella's and was any of you there at the cruise ? if so why didn't you come by and poke fun of me and bessie ?

 

Good stuff, sounds like you there had a great weekend and that`s what counts the most.
Not enough of that happening around here and when it does it seems I`m tied up in other places doing other things.
We had afew car shows rained out this year which was too bad but we`ve had great weather years too.

 

It sure sounds like you had a blast. Thats what these old trucks area all about, that is why we bust our knuckles working to all hours of the night.

I had a decent weekend also, took a trailer load of stuff (mostly non Ford related) to a swap meet. Walked out with a large pocket full of cash. Now I have more space at home for Ford stuff (dont tell my wife)

Glad you had fun!
Bobby

 

More space at home for Ford stuff and the cash for it after the swap meet.
Ain`t life great when it works out this way....

 

F350, Right on for all of that . Sounds like it was just your turn to have a great time and have things go your way. Jon
