Got to the door, wrenchs in hand to fix my clutch issue and there's a half inch of hard pack on the walkway, pita scrapping a half inch of snow in order to shovel it. Coffee time and then it's start the day time, an hour later than planned.

This was just something that the wind blew in over night, got to 4 today but it was short lived as it came in late in the day. Got my clutch and running boards setup and now everything is caught up with on the truck, now its time for the box lumber and to chase down 2 sets of seats.

Spent my day in a school gym so I didn't get any thing done. I would like to find a seat from a 90's truck so I could have a cup holder in my 81.

With the cost of redoing these interiors it starts to become a big onetime expense to do both of them at the same time, might just get the carpeting this month end and go after the seats next month. The carpet is a set price but the seats could come out of anything and cost anything. Still need to pick up a pair of bud/ cup and cone 1 piece rims and tires so that headache is over, the rims and tires are a bit of a priority.

It didn`t get that warm here Perry, -5°C now, -4°C by morning, 0°C tomorrow and 7°C Thursday.
Amigos usually have quite a few reasonably priced Ford truck seats Colin.

It's supposed to be a spring weather week with a night or 2 that stays above 0.
Been dealing with a real moron situation upstairs with the new tenants, it's a mother and daughter only lease. Guess who's got a teat sucker son that figures where mother goes he goes, he had this brilliant idea that he could sell dope out of here and the cameras were for his protection. That came to a crashing halt 2 nights ago courtesy of Sergey the owner and myself. The mother is a half wit and the daughter is 3rd year U of C med student, daughter hates brother as he's a bum. Kelly across the alley knows daughter and told her about this place being available which is why they showed up, Kelly just finished her Bachelor program for engineering at U of C so the 2 girls aren't idiots. Theres been 2 days of daughter putting the mother straight as she doesn't want to move again. As long as I don't see the bum son around they can stay as they have a 3 month lease and Sergey needs to keep the cash flow coming in. We don't have these problems with immigrant tenants, just with white Calgarians.
Glad I'm not a landlord in Calgary

I will be up there in April for volleyball, might have to check them out. They seem to be a rare item down here in the wreckers yards.

At one time Amigos had lot of Ford trucks and maybe still do. 7-8 yrs ago I got nice red one there from a 96 F150 for my 67 F350. I think it was about $125?
