Re: What did you get done? July 4th edition!
 

Replaced the steering gear in the 99 between rain storms. Entertained friends from New York for 3 days. Begain the mold killing process in the basement and detrimmed the next room on the rebuild list. Cleaned enough garage to get out my motor stand and get the 700R4 off the floor. That allowed me to get to the tractor parts that are next on the paint stripping list.

Wife made me do nothing on Sunday. Sucked.

Re: What did you get done? July 4th edition!
 

Well my weekend started early on Thursday. I am the "pit boss" at work when we do cook outs for the employees. Me and my 3 guys did burgers for 400 people across 3 shifts starting Wednesday night. We finished at 1pm Thursday and got to go home. Local fireworks were on Thursday night, saw that with the kids and my bosses family. Friday, spent time catching up on sleep, went and got my boys from camp that evening, came home and went to the next door for the neighborhood get together and more fireworks.

Saturday, spent time working around the house, fixed my small push mower, my folks came over for awhile and kept the kids while my wife and I went out to dinner and to get more things for the house. Spent like $700 for blinds for 2 windows...she owes me...I got to be nice since I get a new shop this fall/winter.:metal:

Sunday, slept late, installed stuff from Lowe's on the house, FINALLY got to do what I wanted and I washed my Truck. Did not get tot he interior, but the outside is clean looks better, I need to clay the paint and polish/wax it but it got dark. I recently had the bed repainted after installing a roll pan and welding up the stack pockets and flipped the tailgate handle, the tailgate is still at the painter, he screwed it up:devil:...should have it back this week.

Kurt, Is the truck going with you?

Re: What did you get done? July 4th edition!
 

Chris, I think he's sending the truck to his parents place.

KMK have fun over there and watch for my brother in his UH60.. He is the guy at Bagram who is running RC trucks arent and building stuff from scrap lumber for his BTN. His Blackhawk is the one with gun in the doors...

I bought a couple electric weed whackers and knocked down the 4' high grass and weeds in my yard. Cheaper than fixing the mower and they dont use gas.

Buffed the front end on the 98 Formula, and watched some fireworks. This week I am trying to get anything done on the trucks, cars and house. Already broke and its only the 9th! I should get the 76 drivable so I can move cars and stuff.

Had wedding rehearsal Fri. and got married Sat. Yeah, nothing truck related was done...

actually that's not entirely true... I did actually open the truck sna checked to see how the door panels come off so I can see what's up with the locks not working. There are no handles on the inside on the back doors and no push knob to lock and unlock the back. The push knob appears to have the rod attached to it ont he front doors but won't move up or down. I'll figure it out when I get the panels off. Gotta go get one of those tools to remove the door handles first. :D

While looking, I did discover that the front and back doors have two different door panels. Front has manual windows and locks, backs have power windows and locks. Gonna have to get a matching set at some point.


Thanks to the gentlemen leaving for Afghanistan soon. Your service for all of our safety and freedom is appreciated deeply!

Went to a great 4th of July party at a friend's place in the country on Friday. I got to do some fishing on Saturday. The two of us caught and cleaned 36 smallish catfish. Sunday was spent recovering from Friday and Saturday. I did nothing to any of the vehicles...
