What a difference a few days makes. Last Saturday it was 54 degrees and sunny. Yesterday it was snow and 24 degrees.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Some real personality swings right there. We've been having that, too. Last night the temperature rose to a high around 60 around midnight. A cold front is coming in today. Tomorrow's sunny day high will be 29.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
special-K, we sent that weather your way. I have to apologize, I forgot to warn you.
Tell you what, we will send some warmer temps and sunshine to make up for it.:lol: |
Re: My Facetruck thread.
Larry, it won't hurt my feelings if you send some of that warmer stuff up here and I won't wish for more of the white stuff to stay south. :lol:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I just want everyone to know I've been inspired by Other Larry's progress. Just a few minutes ago the thought passed through my mind to get some work done on my '72 today. Has anyone seen where it went after it passed through? I can't seem to find it now. I guess I'll have to go ahead and mill up some oak moldings while the sun is shining. Snow tomorrow. I have a couple ceiling lights I want to install. And if I get some molding pre-cut, I'll install some of that

Re: My Facetruck thread.
No progress this weekend. I have three grandsons to entertain. Pray for me.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Ah, you'll be feeling younger come Sunday.
Everything I do on my house is the same as working on my trucks, I figure. The sooner I get things tight around here, the sooner I'll get to my trucks. Got to set priorities. I never plan on selling my trucks, so the house comes first. If they have to wait till the next one, it's good to know I'll have that to look forward to. Hopefully in a righteous shop. I only wish I could pick up another 67-72 to drive in the meanwhile. I'll get my '72 going come Spring. But I won't drive it as much as I'd like until I can give it more time than I can afford. But I am gaining every week, so who knows? Might get to doing more than I'm thinking. |

I clicked a button somewhere on the WWW and now I'm getting inundated with job offers.
I tried working once but didn't much care for it. |
Re: My Facetruck thread.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
What kind of jobs? I'm just curious.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Thanks, but I used to think I'd want a management job at this point in life. I now realize I only like doing that on my own work and if I work for someone else I want less responsibility. I like the regularity of hours being employed. While not allowing as much time, it works out well to allow my doing my own side projects. Mostly, I want the time for my own work for my own self, which is where I had planned to be at this point in life. I'll get there!
I was just curious because I know we are tracked in all our activity on the net. Not just searching or the sites we visit. I have had ads pop up related to conversations I've had online. Pretty creeeepy. About my '72 K2500. It's been parked due to an annoying repair that has me hung up. One of the starter bolts snapped off when trying to start it after filling up. I had repeated starter problems and and ended up going to a hi-torq mini starter. I let it get loose thinking what I was hearing in sporadic engaging was poor power supply letting it kick-out as it had been doing with other starters going bad. I don't know, I guess I was being dumb. I should have crawled under and checked it out. So the bolt is broken up on there a ways. It's a hard position and location for me to drill and the drilling needs to be very accurate. The drill blocks seeing what's going on. I've had ideas on how to handle it, but the cold hard fact is I need to pull the engine, put it on a stand, and flip that sumbugger over. I just need the time now. It's been dripping oil and that had been getting on my nerves. So this will give the chance to do oil pan, front and rear seals as well as trans seals. Might as well do the transfer case while I'm at it. The exhaust was getting tired, had patched it up a couple places, so new pipes as well before she hits the road again. The paint on the hood has been popping off bit by bit for years, which also bugs me. So with that off I can take care of that properly. It's a lot for me to get done with projects I have on the house. But just setting a plan feels good. Just wish I had started in sooner. I miss driving it |

Re: My Facetruck thread.
If the bolt is broken far enough up, maybe you can get enough of a drill bushing into the hole to keep the drill from walking over into the threads.
