Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Was going to put a new exhaust on my old truck over the weekend but ended up:
- changing oil and rotating tires on the 4runner - working on a leaking sink in the laundry room - golf cart went down and had to troubleshoot to the micro switch in the pedal. Waiting on a new one to arrive. I have a drawer with probably 12-18 micro switches and none would work, of course. - cut a large pine tree for a neighbor and also the last one I wanted out of my yard

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got nothing on that, unless maybe something damaged the tree and it just didn't "heal" right?

I hear you. Didn't really even take the time to consume any cold drinks of my favorite variety either. In truth, the trees took the most time. The one at my neighbors was all of 90 feet tall. Took it down and limbed/bucked it up so he could push it into a burn pile. My pine was a bit easier at only about 50-60 feet tall. Had it down and limbed/bucked in about an hour and a half. Forgot that a third neighbor came over to get two logs out of the tree I cut and I helped him put those and a few others in the backstop he was building in his back yard for a new pistol range. This weekend is off the table. Wife and I are heading to northwest AR for the War Eagle craft show and then I have to head up to Branson to play golf with a VP of my company on Sunday before a big meeting on Monday/Tuesday. Yeah, tough life.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Been cleaning out storage trailers and inventorying what I actually need and what can go. I have about 15 different ones of these cold air balloons that no longer get used due to zoning restrictions. 30' tall and a bugger to setup and take down by myself. Takes 3 guys on top of a gas canopy if the wind is blowing

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
They have a pretty nice little motorsports museum near Williams Grove. It's right where the small fairgrounds (horse) track is where the auto racing got started before Williams Grove track was built, as the cars got faster.

Cleaning and painting at the rental house, now that the deadbeat renters are gone. Getting close to the finish line, with selling the place.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
a couple of weeks ago,i mentioned how my wife and i were leaving here on Oct 8th for a run to Medina,Ohio to visit dear old friends,Bob & Diane.Bob is struggling with pancreatic cancer and not doing well.they wanted to come here this year after covid finally calmed down a little but now that he's sick,he can't go anywhere,so we loaded up and went to see them,with their permission of course.i can't imagine being sick and having "company" but they wanted us to come and wild horses wouldn't have kept me away.we got there and found out that he had,in his collection of things,some old Canadian coins and had a key chain made for me with a 1913 penny and one for my wife with an 1885 penny.i polished mine up and hung my truck keys on it today.a special key tag for my special truck.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Started a test fit of Hedman 3/4 length stainless headers #62010. Only had enough time to do one side so far.
Plenty of frame clearance, but a little tight by the TH350 trans. I'll trim some plastic from the dust cover and maybe hit the aluminum with a grinder. Made in USA. Welds are beautiful. .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not the same, but similar. This married couple were both lawyers who would rent really nice houses and pay no rent. Although most people who rent don't have one, Maryland requires a "renter's license" to "legally" rent a home. Knowing the law, these lawyers would first check if the renter was licensed, then move right on in and ride on legal processes a couple few years, then move on. I don't think they trashed anything but the renter's finances.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Put a new flat plug on my trailer wiring. Had a small grass fire last spring that burned under the trailer and melted the end. Put new bushings in the rear leaf springs on the neighbor’s golf cart. Tomorrow I plan on working on my CJ project.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I think that the bathroom in that shop is likely bigger than the "shop" I have to do woodworking in.
