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

I didn't work on it, just dug out my other '67 C10 from the corner of the storage building and posted it for sale. I am coming to the realization that time and funding aren't allowing me to get to these projects and they may be better off in someone else's garage and maybe getting worked on.

I, also, posted my 1989 R3500 roll back on craigslist too.

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

Got popped in the mouth by a trophy header and almost fell off the ladder moving the headers from one wall to the next to make room for a TV set so I can watch DVD's while working on my truck.

All I had to do was slip the headers off the nails first before removing the nails from the wall.

That could have ended badly.

It sure could have but the TV is free from a friend and if I can manage to mount that and my DVD player on the wall without breaking my neck then another friend down the street has about a zillion DVD's I can borrow.

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

.

Completed 6 weeks of ~daily 30 minute brisk walks. It's not so hot now but a month ago we were in the 100s and I walk in the heat. First "exercise" I've received on a regular basis since my mid 20s to mid 30s (I'm 55 now). Feels good physically to be more active despite some pain and there's a mental aspect that I was not aware of.

Took this shot the other day on my walking track.

Hooked the TV and DVD up in the garage and other than trying to figure out a few details on how it all works, (no owners manual) I'm ready to turn off the lights, sit in the truck eating popcorn and pretend I'm at the drive-in!

Some owner's manuals are available online.
Just search make and model.

Yea I realized I could hide that 2X4 in the middle horizontally behind the TV, it's just there to limit the downward angle of the screen.
Then I realized I could route the power and RCA wires upwards behind the TV and make them disappear so the set looks like it's just floating there on the wall.
Then I realized we're talking about a garage here and I need to haul a bunch of garbage in here to the dump.

Get some idea in my head...

By the way the screen was filthy with finger prints and other stuff from handling and installing, do not attempt to clean the screen with car wash soap containing wax or you'll spend some time trying to remove the smeared wax with liquid dish soap or something.

I'm happy with it now though.

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

Had to use a stay one night free voucher from Hilton decided to go to Bennington Vt . Didn’t take many pictures during the ride actually didn’t stop much except for gas. But the leaves are just starting to turn . I did enjoy the hot tub and pool though .
