Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I talked to my mom yesterday and learned she has a pinched nerve in her back that is giving her a hard time. It hurts worst laying down and she's having a hard time sleeping. BTW, she'll be 93 next month, lives alone. so, no gathering at mom's for Easter. In fact, she didn't want company in case she needed to go get some sleep. She's taking a medicine that makes her groggy and she just wasn't up to socializing. But the friend who is a retired nurse that helps her with such matters was away for Easter.
I went to the store for food, bought a ham for myself and my son, as well as other things to throw together for an Easter dinner. I got the idea to go ahead and grill the ham yesterday evening ahead of time and fix up portions of the rest of today's meal for her. I left early this morning to run it up to her anyway. If she was asleep I'd just leave it for her and head back. well, she got better sleep last night, was up, and I got to visit with her a few hours before heading back to fix the meal for us. Made the most of the situation and we'll have pit ham for a while, then some bean soup!!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Supposed to be rotisserie grilled boneless leg of lamb, but the grill we bought doesn't have a provision for the spit. I grilled it, but got busy on the internet and when I went out to check on it, the temp was close to 600º.
![]() Also cleaned out and lubed the track on the sliding glass door to the back yard. All that rain and dirt splashing around clogged the channel.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Today, I finalized the deal to SELL my 1990 19K mile Sport today….that’s what I did to my truck today.
![]() I don’t drive it much and I’m scared to get it out & get it dirty because I’m afraid of scratching the darn black paint while I’m washing it! I’ve also had one stolen and I’m kinda paranoid about driving it and leaving it parked outside like at a movie theater, WalMart, or at work. I really enjoy the truck, but it worries me at the same time. The other guy made me a really nice offer and I accepted it today. The truck’s new home will be in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My dad is 82 and owns a 2003 Silverado with 50K miles that he’s gonna make a gift of to me. So I’ll still be in the Chevy family.

I don't like the looks of Dad's '03 Silverado that he's agreed to give to me. I was never crazy about the "Cat Eye" years. Getting it for the right price, though, thanks to Dad. He always took good care of me and still is.

But at least you can keep that beautiful truck and have no regrets. I still regret not buying that brand spanking new 1990 454 SS. But my wife said that we needed a family car.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I am one who is disappointed GMC didn't go with the cat eyes, since I prefer GMCs. I hated them at first, but grew to like that chiseled look, same as Cadillac has still. I actually prefer nothing newer than GMT400s. 21st century trucks/vehicles don't hold my interest as anything but newer transportation. That's how I felt about the GMT400s, even when I factory ordered my '92. It was just a work tool, but since it cost so much money I wanted it built my way. As trucks changed more and more from that platform I see them as the last classic trucks. It began with the extended cab short bed GMT400s that trucks became more built for people who don't actually need trucks to where they are now, took over the new car market as the family vehicle. I only like traditional cabs

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I did nothing on my truck today. I tried. I started it and the ole 396 fired right up.
![]() Then it ran out of gas. ![]() No problem. I've got a 2 gallon gas can that's pretty much full in the garage. Problem. It has a locking gas cap and the key doesn't work. ![]() So I go on Youtube to see how to get this dang thing open. They show guys using a screwdriver and it comes right off. I tried that...Didn't work. It's still on there. (sigh). This thing isn't giving up easy.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I finished loading up the trailer with old wood from my shop makeover. Had a guy stop by some weeks ago asking for some of the fir siding I was replacing and I said get all you want. He drives by here 4 times a day at least and some how forgot about it. So I swear, less than 1 hour after I finished loading up my trailer he remembered and stopped in again. I told him if he still wanted it to get it cause it won't be here come Saturday. He found a son to help him unload and sort through the sheets and reload the rest. Super! Then I serviced all the lawn care equipment. Weeds are getting tall. It's time.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Aint it the truth. Mine were a foot high with all the rain. I had to give my yard a haircut before they were 2 feet tall.
My new next door neighbor works with my wife and my wife doesn't like her. She's not friendly. So I parked my meat wagon by her house. ![]() ![]()

See if there is a code number stamped into the face of the lock cylinder, right next to the key hole. It would either be numbers, or letters and numbers. If there is, a locksmith may be able to cut a key from the code. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Hey Paul, you have a battery-powered drill, right? Or if not, a long extension cord and a 110 volt powered drill? It's not like you're opening a branch of Midnight Auto Supply if you drill the lock out in broad daylight.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I gave up on locking gas caps and lug nuts. Nothing worse than self-inflicted aggravation. It sure sucks locking yourself out of your own gas tank.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well, I havent done it yet, but on today's agenda is designing a log moving device. Sorta like a log arch. Anybody here with any experience using one or building one? Nobody wants to skid out two trees so its up to me or they will rot where they sit. I have a couple of designs in mind to build sorta like.
