What did you get done- Mothers day edition.
For those of you that are still blessed with having your Mother still alive, I hope you spent the day taking her to some place nice to eat, and treated her to a special card or gift.
Since my Mother passed on a few years ago, I spent the afternoon with my Mother-in-law. The weather was awesome here so we bar-b-qued. We had chicken breast, steak, sausage links, potatoes, and veggies all on the pit. We finished all that off, and had a big bowl full of banana pudding.....Mmmmm! Not much truck related this weekend. Next weekend I have to thrash on the 77 to get it ready for a show on Memorial weekend....

i drove 400 miles yesterday to pick up a K30 dually. next weekend it will be raped of all usable parts, and cut into small pieces to cash in on the high price of scrap. |

Trucks are good. Mosly just drove the Jimmy around all weekend with the top off. Drove it to work Friday even. Sure going to mis that truck if it sells.
Worked on the Airstream a little Sat and Sunday. Put the A/C back in it only to have it pop breakers when I turned it on. Might be FUBAR. Don't have the case for a new RV roof A/C right now. Did my best to talk Mrs reaper into putting on a bikini and washing the trucks so I could get some wax on the burb. didn't happen. hahaha Sunday my Mom had us over for Mothers day and cooked us dinner. Probably take her and my wife out to dinner sometime this week. I had to sit on the cash in the bank waiting to see if this Tranny and case for another project I have would materialized. No such luck.

Spent Friday night giving the Blazer a tune up, didn't do much good, looks like a rebuild is next.
I had two repave jobs scheduled for Saturday, 1st was out in Sapulpa. We get there and the guy's deck is soaking wet, reschedule for next weekend. Go to the second one and her driveway is covered in dirt/mud, she's going to call when she gets her $h!t together. Now that the day is free, my wife & I decide to take the dogs to the lake. We took the top off the Blazer & went to Ft Gibson lake to let the dogs run around in the water. My Aussie was standing on the fenderwell in the back as we idled through a campground & fell out. Nothing hurts this dog, but he was scared. He pretty much layed low on the way back. Yesterday we went to church with my Mom, then took my Mom & Mother-in-law out to lunch. After that I took my wife out to buy plants so she could make some hanging baskets. Mowed the yard when we got back & then ordered pizza for dinner. Fun weekend even though it was busy. Got to take the Blazer out topless and see how many gas stations we could pass. Between my truck, the Blazer, and my wife's car, I dropped $100 on gas this weekend. I need to fill up my car too. Oh well, Monday is here and I'm not ready for it.

Saturday pulled the dash out to re-wire the tach to try and fix the needle bounce. Well, that did not work.
Sunday washed the truck.

Washed the crew-cab Saturday then took my wife out to a really nice dinner. Lobster tail, shrimp, steak, wine, and beer, mmmmmmmmm. $150.00 later we were full...
Sunday, parent-in-laws came down from Tennessee. We went to church and then out to lunch. After lunch we went on a hike to a local waterfall and played in the woods and creek for a while. Sunday evening, we went and had dinner with my parents. Great weekend.

Since I don't have a garage I spent a lot of time waiting for the weather to change so I could go out and work on my truck. I'm finishing up a body and motor swap for a play truck. Finally had the weather to put bucket seats in and rig up a floor shifter from a Firebird.

Didn't get much truck stuff done. Closest I got was buying a replacement horn for the 96. Still laying on the back seat though .
Friday I had a final so I study mos t of the day for it. Serviced the wife's Bonneville. Saturday I worked on couplke computer jobs. Still can't belive what people will click on on the web and get put on thier computers. I guess that's why QVC ( or whatever they are now) got so much. My mom and mom in law aren't close enough to visit, so after wifie was celebrated, used the 82 to haul stump grindings and dirt. Man I gotta get this workshop done, so I can live to enjoy it In the words of some one wise "I'm gettin too old for this ch-t"

woke up at 6:15 and went to feed our bottle calves with my little sister fell asleep for about an hour. went upstairs and found out my mom and stepdad were fighting... sometimes i just want to choke him till his head pops off... later after i made sure mom was feeling better me and two of my friends drove about 360+ miles round trip to pick up a 72 SWB 4x4. felt bad for mom, she had a krappy day then todayshe got in a wreck in her trailblazer, so i baked her a cake and fed the calves and did some dishes and stuff so she won't have to do much when she gets home.

the rear end had plenty of room to bounce around, but on the front when the wheels are turned and under a load, they will grab the fender a bit. like i said, its about time for some new rims haha. some 17'' tourq thrust twos!! btw i just got a new job that pays twice as much as before!! finally i can dump more money into the paint and wheels of the truck.
