This 48 International runs on wood, the man who built it died 8 years ago but his daughter keeps it going with the help of her mechanic husband and brings it to all the shows.

That's a neat truck. Wood, who'd a thunk. Lol.
Working out in the sun today again. Love what I do but gotta admit, two weeks outside is taking a toll on the old body. Next week is inside work so it'll be a nice break!! Not many skitters this year either, which is SUPER nice!!
Have a fantastic day FTE!!

Morning fellas. Friday, my favorite day of the week. Ordered tires for the '90 yesterday. Going with a 33" Kelly Fierce/Attitude. I wanted to go bigger, but will wait until I have a lift on it. I would post pics but have left the truck with the shop until the tires come in. I sure have to voice appreciation for Fountain Tire here in Yorkton. The owner, a younger guy (still a little older than myself) is a standup guy. He's fighting with the corporate goons right now because they want all their shop rates to be equal with Alberta and other places at $140/hr. He currently sits at $96/hr which is one of the lowest places in town. Nice to still have some guys around who aren't trying to rape you around every corner.
Hope everyone has a great weekend planned!!

They have a weekly show and shine by the Canadian Tire store on Arthur St. That truck was there a month ago when I was down there. There is sometimes more than a hundred vehicles that attend that weekly.
