Re: My Facetruck thread.
yah it's all fun and games teasing me about my old heaps until she's off work on a weekday and needs my gmc while the nanny is using her car
can you drive the longhorn or a suburban to work? maybe I should say no but she can - that'll teach her to appreciate them more nah, that'll just land me in more hot water at least the kids like 'em! they get excited when I take them to school or pick them up in the old trucks my 11yo son announced he wants to take his driver's license test in the 4 speed longhorn he drives the automatic longhorn pretty well already so who knows, might just let him

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Not England? I never do, but end up in other states. Plenty of town names repeat across the USA. Independence, NC is a cool town at the foot of the northern end of the Smokies most never heard of. Lots of Cumberlands. Maryland's was the far west in colonial times. Folks made it to there and stopped. "I ain't climbing up that mountain to find land. I ain't a goin' no futha!!"

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Damn memory. Look up Independence, VA. I came through there coming back from the Smokies in '05. That was the last summer with my wife. For my 50th birthday we rented a Harley dresser and toured WNC and East Tenn. came back on the road that runs along with I-81 to the south, to Roanoke. Beautiful country

Re: My Facetruck thread.
A few years ago the bride and I were cruising down I-81 at Roanoke, VA in a 1970 SS 454 El Camino minding our own business and loving life when we hit a trailer jack laying in the center of the west bound lane.
The foot of the jack knocked a hole in the oil pan. We called the Chevy dealer and they sent a rollback. They ordered me an NOS oil pan and had me back on the road the next afternoon. Great people. Insurance paid for the whole thing.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
that's a great memory Larry, and awesome car! I swept my bride away in her prius
$75 courthouse wedding, changed clothes to haul trash out of house we were buying, and had 7-11 hotdogs for lunch it was a rental and the owner, a b52 pilot in vietnam, made an awesome deal with us at his kitchen table.. fsbo and with his help closed a va in '09 in like 32 days, unheard of at the time.. had to pass va appraisal which can be tough and they only deal with seller.. but in this case they had to deal with me, seller already gave us keys anywho back to that momentous day, met some buddies of mine at the house, they brought a construction dump trailer and helped us fill it in less than an hour for our wedding present, love those guys! headed north to yosemite to get lost the forest in the dark, turned around to go back the other way from what we thought was a wrong turn less than a mile short of the lodge but that crazy day and long drive led us, eventually, to a warm cozy cabin with a fireplace, river front patio, and giant jacuzzi tub next day while the new Mrs. Bee was trying to kill me on what seemed like a hundred mile hike, appraisal comes in over the mark, we would become homeowners in just a couple of weeks she has a picture somewhere of me at a turnout from the trail with my phone to head and a deer standing behind me listening anxiously with us so some people scoff at a our modest event but we bought a house that in a couple of years will yield a hefty profit and with the exception of the dwindling mortgage, we've lived debt free with plenty in the coffers - gotta love a practical woman! oh, and I retired from the nav about two weeks after, that was a busy month!

My wedding? My bride to be and I rented a pavilion at Washington Monument State Park (the first Washington Monument) on South Mt in Boonsboro, MD, decorated it up, made the red velvet wedding cake at my sister's place (the one in Maine now) with my folks present, rode the Harley to the park, she changed into her wedding gown in the restroom building, we had a great time eating food we made, with my B.I.L. playing guitar and my sister (one in VA) sang our wedding song, and we rode off into the sunset (after she changed) for our honeymoon in the Shenandoah Valley. Such a beautiful and natural way to commence a disaster (eventually, that is ) Our wedding song. Duanne Allman playing with Cowboy:

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Charp Cheby. My favorite muscle car, that is a truck
I meant to post a picture of the Washington Monument built on top of the mountain by the people of Boonsboro, MD in 1827. Construction of the one in Washington, DC began in 1848, nine years before my house was built

Re: My Facetruck thread.
had some some fun with Mrs. Bee's wagon last week..
nanny was sick so we were picking up kids from school, Thursday was my turn while backing into the driveway I look out the front and I'm all what the heck is that? get out of the car to find this, arrow points to a pinhole in one of the oil cooler hoses, streaming like a fountain well I followed the trail, started about half block from the house and the bottom of the car is fully faired so wasn't any shenanigans, just failed right then and there at least it happened right in front of the house so didn't run out of oil must have been a common problem, replacement part is all metal tubing.. local lexus dealer gave me some good guy pricing - manifold, gaskets, and three oil filter cartridges $140, that tubing manifold is about $110 aftermarket plus shipping, didn't bother checking local parts stores picked up parts and installed Friday in time to take kids to tennis Saturday parked it over the clarifier and washed all the oil from the engine and undercarriage, even shined up the outside while I was at it reinstalled the covers Sunday after confirming all dry and no leaks kitty litter dried it it out well enough to drive on but we'll be working on that stain for a while, probably end up with one of those pressure washers Larry recommended

Re: My Facetruck thread.
It's a good turnout to what could have been multiples more expensive had it not been caught so soon. I know you know that. I wonder how many squirt it out on the interstate till it locks up.
I had the notorious leaky oil cooler lines on my '92 K3500. Just seepy and messy, wasn't going to drain it out as long as an eye was kept on oil level. I got tired of replacing them, so I eliminated the cooler. Ran it many more years that way

What luck, Killer. I started to say you got lucky, but you tore her car up, so I figure you are on the fence there.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
well Fritz finally broke through the old gate so it was time to build new ones
they were in miserable condition anyway so he actually did us a favor Mrs. Bee and my son did all the math and got everything square and level - and mostly plumb, as the block walls allowed they also selected all the grain contrast to give it character best part is only cost $275 sure is nice having free swinging gates that don't have to be carried open and screwed to each other to keep closed my young helper took care of filling in the rest of the lower course of screws for me the last two pickets for the sides will have to be ripped and notched for the hinges when I have more time but at least the opening is covered for now light sanding and some clear lacquer or light stain or something to preserve the colors and easily last the couple years we have left here
