Ummm Yeah... it was -40* when I went to work this morning. Oddly enough, they close the ski resorts when it gets below -20*. Thanks for looking at my patches, I appreciate the kind comments. Hopefully by the time I am really ready to do some serious stuff, I will know what I am doing!!

Sarge Your patches are coming along great... I didn't have any of that to do on mine.. cab was in real good shape.. I think I could now that I've had some pratice with the welder...

Thank you 57truckguy, I you always have positive feedback!! On getting on your welder you just need to... (to steal a golf quote...) grip it and rip it !!

looking good man keep it up and that 6 arms snake lady is crazy! lol just read through your first post all the way you dirty wow player!! i was hooked on that **** since it came out finely quit for good 10 mouths ago i have well over a year /played time crazy waste of time!! to anybody with kids never let them touch that game give them heroin instead they will probably quit it easyer lol

Thanks Kro! Wife and I played EverQuest for 8 years until they nerfed my Ranger into the stoneage. At that point we were both 3boxing on 3 seperate desk top computers, and putting in about 40 or more hours a week. My Ranger was ranked 10-12th on the server and we were in the second highest guild.
Then we switched to WoW to play with some friends of mine from work, but the sense of community wasnt there, I guess because of the amount of solo and PvP .... but.... the truck is more fun now and certainly has a tangible sense of productivity.
Oh and glad you like the snake chick. You should see the original art piece on her, the detail still amazes me (that I actually did it hehehehe)

Good job on those welds, I'm sure it was a little scary attacking with that welder for the first time.

I'm already a little nervous since I know I have some rust repair in my future and I've never touched a welding machine before. I've got my old front bed panel that I'm replacing to practice on though, so hopefully I'll be ok.

Thank you for looking Chad215 !!
My first runs with the welder were more fustrating than scary because I could not see what I was doing so well. Then I got the auto hood and life with my welder changed LOL !

Just put on at least one leather glove (on your guide hand) and some not-so-flamable clothes and get up close with your gun and face, you will do fine I bet! It will help if you know someone to coach you a little too. I did about 30 years ago, but didnt take advantage of it when I had it....

So what else I did this weekend...

I took my mud flaps and reworked them. I know the repops are real cheap, but I wanted to see if my little mod will work well first, so I hammer and dolly worked them, and did what I did...
Guess the pics will tell the story.
