That would have been good when the twins were little, only we would have needed one for each behind mom and dad :)

I went to Catalina Island with my first wife and rented a bicycle built for two. I thought it would be romantic to cruise the island.

All she did was run her mouth and complain that I was either going too fast or too slow. :blah: :rolleyes:

I felt like jumping off the thing and watching her crash. :haha:

So much for romance. :smoke:

Had to make the same ride I did last week when I lost the hubcap for the 85. Found it about a mile from my destination about 30 miles from my house in a ditch ,couple of scratches tho . But it’s better than the beat up one I put on the truck .

You should have gone to Ireland instead. Maybe you would have ended up in a cemetery kissing in a thunderstorm :lol:

You could put a mud flap on the fender to block everything

Truck related surprise!
Reinstalled the NV4500 in the 72 today after its rebuild. Came in afterwards and realized I left the phone in the shed so I ran back out to grab it and found a 5 foot black snake guarding the work bench. Good laugh for us that live in the country.

You guys needed one of these :lol:

:lol: She would have still complained. She was good at it... She had lot's of practice.


I sold my Jeep today. :buh:

Thinning down the herd. I never drove it. Now I'm down to 6 vehicles not counting my motorhome.

You know a buyer is serious when they show up with a trailer and cash. And no B.S. :)

The guy asked me if I was a rock star or something. :lol::lol::lol: I'm not kidding. He really did.

He's obviously never heard me play.

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

Got the Dodge differential done yesterday . Not an easy job wrestling a 11.5 AAM on the ground by yourself . The rear I put in looked like new down to the rotors . But I test drove it and had a terrible shimmy when I hit the brakes . Ended up being the rotor but I changed out the axle . Think they bent it taking it out so if the dropped it hard enough to bend it didn't trust the axle either.

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

It isn't a full float ???

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

Full float rear but I just wanted to change it all.

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

Okay, I was just confused how dropping a full float could bend the axle shaft?

Anybody else just wanna go drink beer with Paul and wait for the shenanagins to start? That's gotta be entertaining.

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

I've definitely thought about it! Several times.....

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

Wife had the day off so I took the day off as well. We hiked to a waterfall we have never been to before, went to the gun range for a bit and then had lunch. After lunch we played a round of golf. Tired but it was a good day.

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

I thought about going to Pate, and backed out, but then again I still have my 65 Chevelle Convertible.

The only drawback is that you will have to listen to my dumb jokes. :eek:

Picked up a knee scooter to ease the pressure off my post-surgical foot. Stitches come out Thursday. $50 off CL, barely used. Now I need to paint some flames on it so it'll go fast. :rolleyes:

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

What did I do today? :confused:

I thought about cleaning the surface rust on my truck. Didn't do it.

I thought about working on my Packard. Didn't do that either.

I thought about cleaning my garage..Eh..No.

I thought about making my wife a really nice dinner. Then I ordered a pizza.

Then I thought about taking a nap...That one worked. :)

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

Your wheels came out really nice....:metal:

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

What did you use on these wheels to clean them up,I have a set on my 1986 Bronco

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

Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. Was going to use it with their powerball but I wasn't paying $27 for it, so I bought "polishing" cloth and did it by hand.

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

Found my valve noise on the 496 in my Chevelle #6 exhaust valve lock nut was loose causing the adjuster to back off . Only thing that stopped it from coming off it hit the valve cover. Cam looked perfect so I adjusted all the valves started her and no more clacking. Little strange as the motor was broke in on a dyno ran flawlessly.

Was troubleshooting the salt cell on my swimming pool as I thought the flow switch was out. Installed a new switch but still not showing flow. In my further troubleshooting there were some sparks involved and now the cell is dead. Oh well, I had checked it and it was at 80%+ life expended so I came in an ordered a new one. Was just hoping to put that off until later in the summer. They only last 4-5 years and this was was on year 5.

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

Are your rocker studs still tight? I’ve seen the screw in studs back out before. Obviously the pressed in studs are known to pull out from time to time.

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

Yes all the studs were still tight . Thinking the builder missed this one

Catastrophe averted! ;)

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

Golf cart weekend this weekend. Removed all the batteries and purchased a new set. They were six years old so it was time. Cleaned up the battery support frame, painted, installed new batteries and cables. Cart is ready for another six years I hope.

Never in a million years would I thought I’d be wet sanding and buffing out a 2005 Accord . My daughters neighbor decided he was going to paint his fence . Pressure washed a few weeks ago no problems . He then rented a sprayer well wind and oil based primer isn’t a good thing and the fact the fence is along the driveway he sprayed right though it . Car has overspray all over it . I wet sanded the whole car then hit it with a rotary then a orbital . Finished the hood and the front fenders today .

Filling in ruts and spreading grass seed. The elder widow next door has had some yard work done on separate occasions and the dump truck and trailer guys used my yard as a big old turn around and of course left major ruts. They ran off her concrete driveway onto my yard, and left it that way. She is such a good neighbor and feels so bad about it, I just wouldn't complain. We've been friends and good neighbors for 30 years. Just wouldn't with what they have been through. Anyway I hauled in some top soil to fill and spread some seed. I had a few low spots needing filling in else where anyway.

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

Must otherwise be a really nice neighbor, is all I'm going to say about this.

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

Good guy not to brite but he is paying for me to do this , my daughter had two estimates from detail shops I'm doing it for a little less. Also paying to power wash the driveway
