I was planning on working on both of the trucks today too.

They are calling for 3 to 5 inches today too.

yellowgmc · 11-22-2002, 12:21 PM

at least you can still see the grass!!!!!!! my baby's frozen to the ground now!!! we get 2 inches of snow, 1 inch melts, the 2 more fall. i think it's going to be a normal winter, finnaly. good luck! btw how did you get your antenna to mount on the drivers side?? mine's on the passenger side.

Longhorn Man · 11-22-2002, 12:24 PM

The dope smokin old man did that. IT was a radio delete truck, and he was too stupid to look at any vehicle built in the last 50 years to realize they go on the drivers side. It is quite annoying and a distraction.

crazy longhorn · 11-22-2002, 12:31 PM

Hey Longhorn, you guys can keep that nasty white stuff! I havent seen it here in my spot in illinois.......yet,but Im sure its on the way

Bill72BB · 11-22-2002, 12:42 PM

Andy; you gotta move to a warmer climate.
Going to be 85 here today .

**COBALT** · 11-22-2002, 12:47 PM

I'm confused. What's stopping you from working on your trucks?

Working on your truck in the freezing cold builds character.

yellowgmc · 11-22-2002, 12:49 PM

hey longhormail. you should see the jobthe last guy did on my truck. antenna mount is butchered. they filled the rusted thru spots with spray in expandable foam and cut it down to level. an inch of bondo and some sheap paint and voila. the first day i had it a piece of the rear quarter panel fell off. it was about a foot long and 8 inches high!

sam's 72 · 11-22-2002, 01:03 PM

Andy,
You need to come on back to Texas! It has not snowed here in my area since mmmmmmmmmmmmm HELL I can not remember the last time! Every time I read one of your post, you crack me up about the DOPE SMOKING OLD MAN! I would say he was on some crack when he mounted the antenna over on your side. What the hell was he thinking about I wonder?? Good luck working on your truck.

sam's 72 · 11-22-2002, 01:05 PM

Now what the hell? I tried putting DOPE SMOKING OLD MAN IN A DIFFERENT COLOR AND IT ENDED UP RIGHT NEXT TO MY NAME. Man I don't think I will ever figure these computers,
Sam

amstaff · 11-22-2002, 01:36 PM

I have the same problem... few inches of snow coming, and projects on the truck just waiting. Hope OSU beats Michigan this weekend!

Lippyp · 11-22-2002, 02:01 PM

I love snow and all we ever seem to get these days is more and more rain...global warming stinks!

Mail me your snow!

busterwivell · 11-22-2002, 02:13 PM

Well, the temp should be in the 80's this weekend, so I can't play in the snow. Darn!

Project1970 · 11-22-2002, 03:47 PM

I don't understand - what's that white stuff all over? Did a volcano explode nearby and cover you all in ash?

Eh...I've got my own rant today...the guys at Inyati forgot to actually schedule the sandblaster for my truck...aaaagh...this is starting to peeve me, a LOT...

>X< · 11-22-2002, 04:04 PM

what is that strange white stuff on the ground? never have any of that here. last weekend we put my friends 96 on bags in FREEEEEZING WEATHER!!!!!!(about 70 degrees)hahahahah.

dubie · 11-22-2002, 05:18 PM

Well, join the frickin club!! We have about 4" on the ground right now and the evening temps are dipping to -20 . But this is normal for this time of year. Just not looking forward to those -50 mornings

Those are always a quick wake up call when you have to go outside and let the truck warm up for 20 minutes

busterwivell · 11-22-2002, 06:15 PM

My truck is always warmed up!

I can't wait for snowboarding weather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been the damn pineapple express blowing through here lately, 16 degrees Celsius, T-shirt weather.

Bowed · 11-22-2002, 09:39 PM

Andy, that is exactly the reason I moved to arizona.

Dean23 · 11-22-2002, 09:41 PM

It was a balmy 13 celsius here on wednesday, today it was 2 and a cold wind man that sucks. At least all of our snow melted though.

Blue_71 · 11-22-2002, 10:44 PM

dang dude dont tell me your letting that dust stop you, we hardly ever get more then that and i never let it stop me

no i dont have a shop or garage, just wood sided barn

btw yall-- andy cant take the heat, ask him about his day in kentucky (NORTHERN KY at that) back in july

**Palf70Step** · 11-22-2002, 11:09 PM

It was cool today here (65ish)

, but I dug down deep and fought it out to work on taking the new bed apart. Come on Andy, it is just a few little bits of dandruff.

The one nice thing about the south. I sure do not miss laying in the snow doing work. My worst nightmare was droping a Chrysler A727 (with a corvair scissor jack) out at about 8:30 at night the day after Christmas, rebuilding it and then popping it back in the next afternoon.

busterwivell · 11-22-2002, 11:33 PM

what's snowboarding?

Hooter · 11-23-2002, 12:21 AM

I live in British Columbia and it was 56 degrees today. Hasn't even tried to snow here yet.

Ackattack · 11-24-2002, 01:29 AM

It's finally going to get cold here tommorrow. Use the garage..hello!!

Try changing the fuel pump in 10 degree weather....gas on bare hands gets REAL COLD!!!!
