Getting tired of working on my everyday cars . Finished up the brakes on the Toyota . All set for next breakdown

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

Paid bills and two kinds of taxes.

I don't want to talk about it.:lol:

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

Taxes For Just your Business are probably a ton of fun!

I’m sure Brandon sure appreciates the revenue though!

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

Sorry Larry…
I usually don’t walk out of my CPA’s office with a smile on my face
But I did today
I guess he must have bought a new pencil sharpener earlier this week

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

Speaking of taxes, mine are ready to send, I squeaked by on both F/S, I have enough of a refund of both to go out to eat!!

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

I paid school taxes last Tuesday was very depressing since I have no kids in the school system .

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

Well, I am not tax lover by any means but, at least school taxes add value if the ISD is spending it properly. Bad schools...bad home resell.

Inventory taxes chap my bUttocks!

But, it is a wonderful day... :)

Our big "Do" today is waiting for Best Buy to show up with my Samsung 75" brand spankin' new in the box color TV. :metal:

My 5 year old grandson busted up his parents TV so we are donating our 3 year old 65" to soften the blow. He was having a BIG time throwing a ball around got a bit toooo rambunctious.

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

I am now in that boat as well with my wife and I being empty nesters but as I told my neighbor once, look at it as insurance your home value will not go down. Two things tend to hold people in an area, employment and schools. If one goes the other will follow and then home/real estate values decline.

I am with the other Larry. I just got done paying all my property taxes and every time I seem to forget about that small piece of land in Stone county, but the county sure doesn't forget!

72C20 - That Toyota a 4Runner? Sure looks like the fixed caliper setup on one if my memory serves me correct.

Yesterday must have been the day for picking up old Fords. I’ll need to have this one delivered though....

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

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

Trailer in action . I got three loads till the battery in the winch remote died

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

Looked at the mess that keeps growing. One of these days I have to actually sort thru it and put all this stuff up in a semi organized fashion. I normally am much better, but all this stuff coming in with the 70, just have not had time to catch up yet.

Soon as we get things settled at my friends widow's place I'll get onto it.

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

Well .. need some help? I would like to have them License plates ,, that Classic Louisiana Banner ,, them chrome beauty rims ,one of them squirrel cage fans and that green thing on top of the box fan ..that's all,,,, I don't want to be hoggish .. :)

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

I’m down in Phoenix doing Camaro stuff all weekend. The color or my car is called Aqua Blue Metallic and Gm only made about 3800 of them total and all in the first half of the 2010 model year. They just don’t come up very often. Last night I got together with some good friends who have 2 of more of them. Got some pictures of the three cars together in the dark. Today we are going to Phoenix International Raceway for 10 laps on track in the Camaros at Laps for Charity. After that, a BIG ole car show tonight and then a couple hour cruise tomorrow morning before heading home. I’ll post some more pictures up as the weekend unfolds. First a rare sighting: 3 ABM’s in one sitting!

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

I've been there before. I had rented a barn on a farm for years, then the place finally sold, 60 days to clear out. It all had to come back to my house and I needed to create space for it all
Attachment 2139450

I managed to get everything put somewhere. That was some time ago. Now, I'm moving a building. So, everything had to be cleared out and put somewhere. It has an upstairs that was full of stuff, too. My screened picnic house is stuffed full of things, I have things in corners of my house, in the wood shed, garage, and I built a small pavilion directly next to this building to roll heavy stuff into. This building I built in '88 and was quite a conglomeration of things. It will be nice to be done and get everything back in place.

Getting ready to do a door latch on my nieces little Aveo. I should be safe because the box says it got the "jab"! :lol:

South Arkansas Crappie fish!

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

A couple big ol' Crappie slabs. No better fish eating than that.

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

Daaang man. Monday was a do nothing day for me. I shoulda went fishing. I can just taste some bream or crappie.

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

Don't tell me that's your lucky fishing hat.

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

Aint nothin' but a F_____ Old Rebuilt Dodge hat. What you talkin' about? :)

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

I saw those photos and was gonna ask why you were taking those in my shop. Man, things get out of sorts quickly don't they?

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

The smallest and hopefully the last of 3 loads of crapped out electronics headed to the hazardous waste recycling . 8 foot beds can hold a lot more the Rice- a-roni.

The other 2 loads were above the tool box. I may have to go thru some of my stuff, someday :rolleyes: , so my kids won't have to go thru all this when I head on.

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

Been working on our fence on the new property and bought a new tool for the property. Installed a bed mat and some floor mats. Now going to build a rack for the bed.

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

Nice new tool. :metal:

i spent most of the day on the phone with lawyers. Lot's of fun. Not!

Watched the Dodger game. Sorry Atlanta. :)

I got my new storage container delivered. Time to clear out the garage and see my pool table again. The drywall is almost done. The old garage should look cool again without a bunch of boxes in it.

I got stood up on the Cadillac I wanted. I had the money but the guy was missing in action. No calls back. So no Cadillac. Ticked me off. :mad:

So. Some good and some not so good. That's life.

Got most of the barn board off of my barn over the last weekend. My daughter came and helped me. Now maybe it will fall down...:)

First picture is the South side, second is the North side. I finished it up on Monday & Tuesday.

I didn't feel comfortable going any higher on the South side.

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

...not on my truck?

OK, how about my BUG. :cool:

Had the end of my rear drivers side emergency brake cable snap off and totally destroy the inside of the drum.

Drove it like that for a while, and then my master cylinder just popped and died, so no brakes.

Seeing as how the motor is in back, and I essentially have a gas tank sitting on my lap, figured I better just get to replacing the entire works.

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

Could be some fun there with one of your trucks with a chain hooked up to that corner post , then you can reach that south end top.

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

That is a lot of barn to come down! Wish I could come help

That bug will be a pleasure to drive WITH BRAKES

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

I am going to try and save as much wood as I can after it is down. Come on out. Free room & board! Includes home made Ice cream and peach pie....:)

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

You still need your daughter to help ya take the rest of the boards off it after you pull it down.. that's a lot of wrecking bar/nail pullin ,lumber stacking yet to do..

That will be something watching it come down.. it reminds me of my sis and husband pulling over an old barn about your size barn with their old 59 Chevy pickup .. my sis took an old super 8 movie of being pulled down ,,took awhile to do so ..

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

I replaced the driver side engine mount on the wife's 4wd Yukon. That was a piece of .... design. I know who the designers work for and it isn't the mechanics who replace them down the line. Rolls eyes

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

I worked at an Auto assembly plant for several years.

They build everything they can in sub-assembly's.
The dash, frontend, and then the body is set down on the frame.

They don't think about how someone will get to it later;)

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

Yeah. I had to drop the front diff to swap that mount after trying to do it from the tooside. Putting the diff back in was the chore. Maybe I won’t have to do it again while we have it.

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

Helped out my church with their annual pig roast.

238lb dressed weight. Tasted delicious

Went on the fire last night around 6, was done cooking around 9 this morning

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

Lately I forget the rims on toms are not for your knuckle. No reason to stop in the middle of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams however, I think it had enough with Hypnotized and just got worse from there. It's still a runner, must be the adrenaline;) I was about done anyway.

Personal memory, Dreams was the first song I tried drumming to, what a beautiful tune. Just once, at 14, on my brother's set. He'd have killed me if he knew, and besides, we lived in apts. at the time, I doubt the neighbors appreciated it much. I don't think I played again until I bought my first set at my own place, 8-9 years later.
