Technically “my truck”, but fits this thread I think.

I replaced the radiator in my 2012 2500 this morning.

11 years old 125k miles, there should not be a leak. But hey! It’s PLASTIC… So why wouldn’t there be leak?

Went for a drive today. Ended up at Dales Corner. Met the proprietor, Dale. ;) Heck of a nice guy. That's him in the picture bringing my wife a cup of coffee while she is picking a bag of apples from his way old trees. Ol Blue K20, it was great meeting you. Had a blast chewin' the fat with ya'. We could sit out on that porch and bench race for hours! Thanks again for your hospitality!

Worked on a fence for my table saw. One of my carving buddies wants to make a jewelry box for his wife for xmas. I'll have to get some more jigs to make that happen. Needed the jigs, anyway. I'll be scarce after the morning tomorrow, until Thursday; wife and I are going camping.

I have a 2011 with 130k. No leak now, but I will look carefully at that area of the tank. Plan on driving it 3k, R/T to FL in Feb.

My neighbor's Ford truck has a plastic radiator. It started leaking (developed a hole) at the upper hose flange. A little JB weld and the leak stopped -- for now, anyway.

You never know, general rule is once a crack always a crack, but there are exceptions to the rule.
I have a buddy that had a early 80's Jeep and the aluminum head had a threaded boss for the smog pump that cracked and broke, we JB Welded that thing back and it was still holding when he sold it many years later.

It was great meeting you and your wife. I enjoyed visiting with you guys too! I also enjoyed seeing your truck, ya'll come on back!

Been a busy morning for me. Made a double batch of chocolate syrup and bottled up my Grape wine. I reuse my bottles so I will have to change the dates on the labels. 10 small bottles and one large bottle. It tastes really good! Both of them.... :)

What a lush :lol:. That would be great to make my own delectables. Makes them all the better I'd guess

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

Now that fall is upon us, for some reason I have a hankering for some oatmeal fudge. Don't know why. So I mention it to my wife and she said we are out of oatmeal. I said no. It's in there. Well she couldn't find it. I pulled it out of the cabinet and placed it where she couldn't miss it. A bit later she put it back in the cabinet. So I guess she's just not ready. ;)

Trouble is I give most of it away. The kids were here over the weekend and all went home with a lot of goodies.... :)

My mom made something like that. She called it no bake chocolate cookies. It tastes like fudge with oatmeal in it. It's pretty good.

Been working everyday and weekends, trying to get house enclosed before weather hits.

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

It’s coming along nicely!

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

That's going to be a great place!

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

I hope you get it closed up. It's looking good.

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

Love that stuff, you can buy store bought but it ain't same.

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

Even if you kept it all, that's just a stash for over the winter, or however long it would take to consume.

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

As far as the wine it takes me a long time to consume that. I still have some from 2008, all the way to this year. As far as the baked goodies, they don't last long around me. I need to bake some cookies in the next couple of days, I just need to decide which kind. I switch off every time I bake them .... :)

I was out of cookies so I had to make some frosted chocolate waffle cookies this morning. This was my moms recipe. Not sure where she got it but it might have been my Grandmothers. I remember my Grandmother had a waffle iron that she had to put on the stove burner to heat it up. (non electric) She made some great waffles on that thing though... :metal:

They legalized cruising again in Modesto home of American Graffiti, so a bunch of old Faros are going out for a burger and a short cruise like the old days. Perfect weather for it today, rolled "Cheryl Ann" out and washed all the Almond dust off of her.

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

Always love seeing that beauty.

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

Thanks Boog....Last one, I'm too dam old to crawl all over and under the old cars anymore. Just maintaining what I got requires my son(s) help every now and then.

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

SWEET! My '40 Chevy coupe was just a touch less green than that. Not low, it had a straight axle in front.

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

Looks good! Hard to beat a '40 Deluxe.
