Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Lazy day man, I played my drums, napped because I didn't sleep great.
Took care of some legal for one last-ditch effort. Unfortunately my life may involve attorney intervention. Nothing I did, it's the result of having to deal with a dumb-smit. He's begging for it, and smoked if he doesn't budge. Looks fantastic

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
How do you do that?
I always get yelled at when I play my drums. Maybe I should move them out of the living room. Or become a better drummer.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I took my 90 lb. German Shepherd to the dog groomer. They took forever and when I finally picked him up he got all excited and scratched the chit out of my arm.
Then later I had a seizure (I get them from time to time) and smashed into some furniture with sharp corners and cut myself up even more. Now my left arm looks like I've been in a knife fight and I broke some stuff that I really liked going down. But no broken bones. I've never broken a bone in my life and I've had some nasty spills. The last one I hit the hardwood floor so hard my head bounced up and I hit it again like dribbling a basketball. Bam Bam. Now I know why they call it hardwood. It's very unforgiving. That one hurt. A LOT. But my dog looks great...Me....Not so much. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks. I'm fine. I just don't look too good. But then again I never really did.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finished up making another cooling device for the shop. Used my house's old AC/Heat blower motor assembly. It had been replaced less than a year before the whole AC /heat was redone.
Put together a little cart from scrap metal and some old computer desk chair casters. Now I have a mini moveable fan with 4 speeds. Since it works and it didn't catch on fire, looks like time well spent.

Did you miss the post I made about the Dynatrap my wife bought? We are virtually mosquito free.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Floated the Buffalo River with the kids and grandkids. I have never seen so many people in the river. I'll have to say it wasn't fun. We had traffic jambs.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
One of my sons and I laid more pavers and bricks in the back yard. It's a somewhat humbling experience to be the go-fer, as opposed to telling the son to go-fer things. At least I was picking up sacks of mortar and putting them where he needed them- in the wheelbarrow to mix. My back is jacked, and I can't mix the mortar in the wheelbarrow and then sling it into where it needs to be.
![]() On a sad side note, one of the neighbors sold a wrecked late-model Suburban with a 5.7L engine for $1500 that had everything that I would have needed to convert my truck to LS power. It ran great. I am officially bummed. Yes, I now that there would have been additional work, but it would have cost less than rebuilding my 402. ************ Better luck next time, I guess.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Congrats Boog. The company I work for is employee owned so I have a stake in all the outcomes. Talked to my boss on the phone today for the first time in weeks. I like it that way.
Picked up a new 5” bench vise today. Finally broke my little craftsman 4-1/2” vice that I had for about 20 years. I’d abused that thing and it finally gave it up. Got a heavier duty one that will probably outlast me.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went up to see my mom on Thursday. Spent the afternoon/evening with her. Saw my buddy with the river outfitter business and planned to do a raft trip on Saturday. My brother was to come for the afternoon Friday with my two nephews. He's not a mechanical type guy at all. As mom was preparing the lunch, he calls and his truck was broke down along the road. At least he got off the interstate onto old US40 when he heard a rumbling and felt vibration. U-joint went real bad at the axle yoke. I stop and pick up a couple u-joints since he couldn't really say if clips were inner or outer. I get there and it's an aluminum shaft with the yoke all boogered up, wasted. I dropped the shaft, trimmed the top of a Styrofoam coffee cup to fit snug on the nose of the transfer case, slid a second one (he had these) over to make it stronger(?), and taped it on with Tyvek tape. Then I took a heavy plastic shopping bag corner and taped that over all that. That got him home on front wheel drive, no visit with mom.
My sister called while I was out helping my brother. She misunderstood and thought I was going to be at her place to install a wooden countertop I made last year for her. I have no other work, so I told her she was next. I guess she missed the part where I said I was going up to mom's. To keep the peace with her further lack of understanding I decided to skip the river trip, take mom around to some places, and rive home last night. I think that was my vacation ![]() This was going to be my second half of a vacation. I hope it doesn't go like the first half ![]() ![]() I wake up real early, so Friday I headed out for a coffee at daybreak and ran up to the top of the hill to watch the sunrise and enjoy the view while I drank it
