Termites are the worst . I had a small problem with them they sprayed the area and then put in bait stations . I refilled them twice and after about 3 months no bait was taken but the stations are still in the ground .

Covered this knob up for the last time. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Due to the current heat I didn't do anything. I was going out there working on the outboard motor and boat but now, well, it's not going anywhere any time soon so no rush.
Speaking of outboard motor, I did myself a favor and converted my motor to electric start and charge. I don't use the rig often but it is getting increasingly difficult for me to pull start it. It's cooler than the other side of the pillow now. :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I'm on a self imposed work slow down today. The heat and my house work has caught up with me. Will get washer/dryer off the porch and back into the laundry room, and some other small things. The siding can wait till tomorrow. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Watched roofers skin off the old roof and repair some dry rot. "Supervised" the delivery and placement of the new underlayment and shingles onto the roof. Boy, were those delivery guys grumpy, bordering on belligerent. After 5 PM on a hot hot Friday would be a good excuse, I guess. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

You got that right!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Working in this heat is murder. I've done it and can't say that I liked it. After 5 pm you probably wouldn't want to be around me either.

My Fedex guy is usually nice and chatty. This last delivery not so much. It was 107 degrees and he looked miserable.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

It’s hard to do anything in the garage these days. Even at only 97-deg, no thanks.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I go out in the morning and inside by about 1pm. It was 98º yesterday with a heat index of 105º. Nice 88º today with a decent breeze. I can handle that.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

The first 90-deg day in early summer feels pretty hot. But after a few weeks straight of 105-113, 95 feels AMAZING…

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That's about the same for me. The heat and humidity in the ole metal build are getting tough on this old yankee body.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Crisp 54 degrees this morning . Have had heat advisories the last 4 days . 54 feels wonderful

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

FEDEX Ground allegedly delivered my new grille from LMC at 10:17 PM yesterday. I say allegedly because I have video cameras up, and there isn't even an indication of a vehicle driving on the street, as they pick up the reflection of the headlights off of things at the very least. Let alone someone in the driveway. Drove around the neighborhood looking to see if it was simply mis-delivered, but didn't see it. :cuss: I'm going to post a request on our HOA FaceBook page to see if anyone else has video.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

FWIW I've had the same thing happen and it shows up a day later. Creative accounting on the drivers part??

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That may well be...but there was a picture taken of the package leaning against a garage wall...but it's not my garage. Our HOA is architecturally different from the rest of the houses on either side. I realized that when I was out trolling for the box. I have a claim in with FEDEX already.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Good luck they deliver my neighbors packages to my house constantly when I confront them with my house number difference they say they don’t look for numbers they have this hand held device that pings them some technology suc.s

Is that a lawn chair made out of an AG implement in your pic?
If so, can you snap a pic of that?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I have a few of those in my barn

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Kinda sorta. ;) The wheels and axle were from a John Deere baling machine that I saved from the cutting torch 40 years ago. I was given 16 cultivator wheels that were being used to break up ice in a parking lot, also considered scrap! The bench part is a piece of metal fence. The bench is not welded to the axle nor are the discs. Did not want to really mess with the axle. If we want it to recline further, just step on the discs to press them deeper in the dirt. :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I kinda felt my age today. I applied for Social Security a while back and they finally set me up with a phone appointment. In September. :mad: Funny how when they took that money out of my paycheck for decades there was no delay. But when I want some back then I need to take a number. No hurry. :bs:

But this conformation letter cracked me up. The font is huge. I guess that they know their audience. Old people.

I put the conformation for my wife's cruise to Mexico next to it for comparison.
I'm not going to Mexico. :ito: No way am I going to be stuck on some floating septic tank with my wife and her friends. All the husbands said no so I didn't catch too much heat over that. Power in numbers. :metal:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

It's been another unseasonably hot and dry summer up here too. Way behind on rain and in another drought year.
My previous shop was built into a hillside with 3 sides 80% below grade and heavily wooded old growth trees for shade. The roof was a light beige color as well. The shop area was well insulated and even in 90 degree temps, it stayed 72 degrees inside, as long as I kept the doors shut.
My "new" place, the shop building has a dark green roof and receives direct sun most of the day. It gets mid to upper 80's in there, even being heavily insulated now. I gave up trying to work in there in that heat and ordered a mini-split A/C system, but who knows when I will get that installed. It's too damned hot to work on that too..:lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Turns out it was at my neighbor's house. If it had been in front of the garage like the delivery person said, we'd've seen it. It was behind a pillar with lots of plants blocking the view, next to his front door. That's quite a ways from the front of the garage.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Got the bed up into my Dodge . I would have left it on the trailer but my plan is to tow the 68 to Carlisle it’s a process whomever buys it will need a few guys or pay the forklift guy to get it off .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My elderly (older than I, anyway) next-door neighbor came over this morning and asked if I had bought a grill for a Chevrolet truck. He thought that someone had sent him a present (didn't read the label :rolleyes: ). A friend of his looked at it and told him it belonged at my house. It was on his porch, behind a pillar that is covered with ivy. No way to see that from the street. Well, it's here, it's shiny, and undented. Time to start putting hardware on it. :)

What!? I can't hear you. The hinges on my coffin lid are squeaking too loud! :P

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

You should see 72 tigger 's that He has built.

I like It. :metal:

Maybe He will see this and share the picture;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

:lol: Pretty sure I've seen it. Truth is, when I'm dead my ashes would just make a "poofing" noise, though I'm considering having my body buried for a tree to grow out of. But then, who needs another crab apple tree? :D

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

One of the coolest things on this forum I've seen! ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I am going to keep my eye out for something to modify. I think that would sell up here.
Thanks for the pics.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That sure would look good in the back of my hearse.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

It looks more like a bench to me fellas.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Something tells me you thought that out first. Been there, done that. One of my favorite sayings is "If there's a wheel, there's a way". Comes from doing whatever needs done concerning vehicles in a one man show

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Until that day you become permanently horizontal. :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Looked at another one .looks to be a Real k10 by the vin wasn’t able to open the door so I couldn’t check the tag or spid , bed looks to have come off a 3/4 ton as it has the 3/4 ton tire mount and fender . Truck is a standard transmission and factory air

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Nice looking rig, and AC is always nice (though that one needs a bit of work).

I spent some time converting over to a better fence for my table. Going to buy some metal tomorrow to finish up the adapters. Converting from the factory "infinitely adjustable" fence to an Incra fence that is repeatable any time to a high degree of precision.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Really don’t want another stepper and I just sold the fleet side bed I had at Carlisle . It’s always the way ain’t it have something around a couple years sell and then need it
