I hope it turns out well. I can't believe the difference in climate between here and there this year. It's not spring yet, but we do seem to be through with hard freezes. It's time to till the garden. It was low 20s Thursday night, so still getting cold. But today I poured concrete with no concerns about freezing tonight

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

Turned out well Tim . Little over 3 1/2 qts of syrup from 11 gallons of sap usually a 40 to 1 ratio so it saved a lot of time and propane

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

Did you look it over to see make sure it hadn't been driven here? :lol:

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

i did,first time i saw it was yesterday.it has .5 of an hour on it,stickers still on the goodyear tires and no scratches in the paint in the backhoe or front bucket.i did notice the bear claw feet i wanted on the outrigger pads were not on.the guy told me they were there,but didn't bolt them on for fear they might get unbolted and dissapear.they will be installed when they leave to bring the tractor to me as well as replace the levelling rod on the front bucket that i pointed to them, was bent?other than that,it looked fine.it'll be sometime in the next week or so.i told him i was in no hurry and didn't want it delivered covered in road salt and crap.i waited this long,i can wait til there's a couple dry days.

The zipper broke and the company is fixing it at no cost to me

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

Today I decided to take my old 996 Carrera out for a spin. She's been sitting around too long.
The old girl fired right up after at least 3 months of sitting. :)

I told my buddy to hop in. He told me not to act like an idiot. :lol: I guess he doesn't know me that well. Or maybe he does.

So I stopped and put in some fresh gas and hit the twisty mountain roads. :burnout:

I had forgotten just how much fun that car is to drive. How much fun it is to bang the gears and open her up. The tires stuck to the road like glue. I fell back in love today. My friend needed a couple of beers to recover. :lol:

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

Take it out more :cool:

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

I bought a '75 Plymouth Valiant in Lake Isabella (vicinity) to replace the drive train in one of my son's cars- a '70 Dodge Dart with a pos /6 in it. I drove up there with one of my brothers, who confessed to being concerned while riding in my '05 Corolla. :rolleyes: It's a good thing that I didn't have my '69 Camaro or some of the other crazy cars I used to drive at high speeds on mountain roads. But he was more of a straight-line kind of racer.

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

hi Mark,i think i'll be pretty happy with my tractor.i agonized for a while about what to buy,then ordered this new Kioti last July.i guess i timed it right,i haggled a big discount and some things i wanted thrown in,they did all that,now tractors(and everything else) are in short supply,no discounts and some probably selling for over retail.take care.Greg

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

Today I wrapped up our taxes and E-filed both Federal and State. Done until next year! :)

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

Tinkered around the house 5 inches of snow today . Warm again tomorrow and Friday then another snowfall Saturday. March is such a fun month

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

Another trip to the DMV. More disappointments. Left aggravated, again.

I bought the 91 and registered it last Nov and never received a title. I asked DMV about it and was told to call the state office. First thing in the morning I called and was on hold for almost 20 minutes, gave up and tried their website and did a title status check. It shows my title was printed Dec 9th, so where is it? Today I went to the local office and showed them what I found. She called the state office and was also on hold for over 10 minutes, finally someone answered and she said my new title had been returned undeliverable. Great! I have been having mail delivery issues for a good while now. That's a whole other problem with the postal service.
The state will not mail the title again by certified or other. I have to go there to pick it up personally.
So while I was there.
We bought the 69 pkup through a friend in 1995 and pitched the title envelope in a drawer to register it once road ready. Well all these many years have gone by. It's still not road ready but I want to at least get the title in our name now so if I expire before the wife she won't have any issue selling it, like this. We have the title but the DMV also wants a Bill of Sale that we don't have and the old woman owner has long since passed.
Now what?

I can't speak to your state, but if you have the title in hand, then you are the de facto owner. Did the lady sign the back of the title, or is there a place for her to sign? If she signed it, then it should be a non issue. I'd go back and see what the clerk says. Tell them exactly what you stated here. If they give you grief, then ask for a supervisor. It was my experience, in CA, that most of the clerks knew very little of what the Vehicle Code actually stated.

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

It's not unscrupulous, just a way, maybe the only way, to get around the BS. Forge the title. When it comes right down to it, first of all you did not steal anything, they just need to see a signature in the right place. Just do it. The deceased can not complain.

I bought my '72 K2500 in May '01. I kept it titled in California until '11 in case I ever sold it. I got it's own registration in MD in '11 and that's when I noticed the title also needed to be signed on the front! This made me really nervous since the actually signature was on the back for comparison. But I signed the front and got my title...after a heap of worry. Just do it. It's your truck!

Double post Tim strikes again. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

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

I guess I need to check back on all the long threads for self-duplicating posts.

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

Rickey, K. Unfortunately a bill of sale IS required in Ark. I don't know when that became so. I can remember buying without one as long as we had a good title. It has been a good while back though.
The reg says a b. o. s. just confirms the sale is legit. Waaat? That's why buyer and seller both sign the back of the titles!
The woman did sign the title as seller and I signed as the buyer. It's legit. Still a BOS is necessary.
You are right. I have the released title and the truck so it is mine legally, BUT, I cannot do anything with it. I'll not put any more money into it until this is resolved.

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

A bill of sale is just a hand written paper.

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

I'm making a new chest to hold some of my carving tools. I discovered that I had made it 1/2" too wide. Not a big deal, just make the drawer fronts and backs longer. But I have another small chest that I want to stack this one on. I managed to cut 1/2" off of the new and rescued the side plate. It's glued on now, so life is good. I used to design tooling, and things had to fit within thousandths, for tolerancing purposes. I missed by 1/2"?! Crazy.

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

I can understand this.;)

I have jobs with plus 0.005 and - 0.000 .

Then If someone gives me an Inch:lol:

I will Take a mile.

I always (Smooth) it in just like you did:metal:

Well if you're going to cut it wrong, cut it on the long side. ;)

I'm starting to think accuracy get's worse with experience. I sure was careful when I didn't know chit.

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

I worked on cleaning up more junk laying around to take in. I'm trying to get the big stuff gone before spring rains. I use the GMC when it's cold. It warms up faster than my orange truck. The orange truck whips the gmc's butt in fuel mileage though. :lol:

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

Experience make you too comfortable. I find that most of the injuries in my company happen to the people with the most experience.

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

Boog, did you show her where it says "Bill if Sale" right on the back of the title?

I never heard of having to have both.

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

And then someone mentioned taxes and ruined my day. :lol::lol:

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

Larry I checked the Ar DMV website and find this info:

What You Need
What you need for Registration and Title:
Primary Document (Arkansas Title, Bill of Sale, Manufacturer Statement of Origin, Out of State Title)
Insurance Card
Federal Odometer Statement
You may need:
Personal Property Tax Number (PPAN) assigned from your county assessor
Lien Contract/Security Agreement
Current Year County Tax Assessment
Proof of paid tax receipt
Please make sure you have your primary documents and insurance card ready before starting this process. There will be information from these documents you will need to complete this process. If you are transferring a plate, registration must be current.

It appears to me they require either a cert of title or bill of sale or MSO but not all 3.
None the less two different ladies at the same office asked for a bos.
Could it be they actually just need the federal odometer statement part of a bos?
Which is required now.

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

I hope that you did better than me Larry. I got nailed between property taxes. Federal, and State. Don't these people realize that I don't even have a job? :lol:

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

Don't forget a stool sample. They're going to need that.

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

^ Nope, they're already giving him that. :D

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

I had the guy fix my HVAC. $1,100. My blower motor was wasted. Not too bad. I was quoted more. The motor was destroyed.

Then I had to take my 911 in for the dreaded smog check :( I was sure it would fail. I've barely driven it for 3 months. But I took it in anyway. WTH.
The chick at the counter asks me when was the last time I disconnected the battery. :confused:

I disconnect it all the time so the battery doesn't die. The car sits for long periods of time.

She says that would mess up some codes or something. :dohh: But they will check it. So I sit there for an hour and what do you know. It passed!:)

I pay them and leave happy....Get in my car. Turn the key...Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

They say they will jump start it. But there is one big problem. The battery is in the trunk and it is opened by a electrical switch. No power and it won't open. So much for German engineering. My dead battery is locked in the trunk.

So we jump it off the fuse box and pop the trunk. It turns out the battery cable was looser than my ex girlfriend after a few Margarita's. So we tighten it back up and I'm on my way.

It was a long day. :waah:

Listed my bronco for sale this morning and within a hour it looks like it is sold. Once the new owner comes and gets it I can finally move my GMC into the garage.

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

They sell quick . I've been looking but they are usually pretty pricey . I used to plow with my uncles . Real fun no ps and three on the tree .

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

Oh and what I did today. I Put the plow back on the Dodge and had to move my Envoy . The PS started growling and i got out to the front of it and PS fluid all over the gravel . Thought a line went but apon closer inspection the cooler on the bottom of the rad support was spewing out from the center . Got a GM one coming 186 bucks my cost and I'll bet it's made on the same line in China as the 89 dollar one .
