Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thank you my friend. I am home for now! I for some reason thought you were closer to Halifax, or I would have asked.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
well shoot,that's too bad.i thought i told you i was close to Moncton,that's why i said if you come to the Atlantic Nationals,bunk here and we can go an hour to Moncton,no big deal.i am about 25 or 30 minutes from Amherst and that's right at the NS/NB border and Moncton is just 30 minutes from the border.i was in Moncton yesterday myself.i bought a new bush hog at the place near Moncton where i bought my tractor and then from there,off to Moncton Costco for a few things.next time i guess.take care.enjoy your family.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I sold my Wrangler and my black Corvette today. Thinning down the herd.
I actually didn't sell the Vette. I swapped it for my new flooring and a lot of other work. I had run up quite a tab with the contractor and I knew he wanted that car bad, and I didn't want to write him a check just as bad. Everybody's happy. He got a Corvette and I got a free floor. Next on the chopping block is the dually and the T Bird. I've got to make some room and I hadn't driven that car in 2 years and the Wrangler was not as nice as my Gladiator and I didn't need 2 so it's on it's way to Arizona.

Finished up repairing the wife's '05 Buick yesterday so she is happy again. We still need to find a replacement. It still looks good but it has 250,000 miles on it and it's rusty underneath. LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I watch one of those Saturday/Sunday half hour car shows and one of the advertisers is a company that sprays this oil undercoating thats supposed to stop the rust from the winter roads. I figured this was a big thing, but maybe not?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i know it is around here.the D.O.T pours salt on the roads(i'm guilty,i drove one of the trucks for years)now they've added salt water brine to the roads.on a quiet night,you can here the cars rotting away.it's terrble but people are spoiled,they want to drive in January like it's June,no common sense so depending on the road or highway,the supers would say to the drivers on the highway to the airport for example where i looked after it,make that road black so we would,pouring ton after ton of salt on it for 12 hours.i'd jump out and another guy would climb in and do the same.there are 2 big national undercoating outfits here that spray an oily solution under cars,inside doors and quarter panels,anywhere there's a hole or they'll make holes and plug them,both very good and you can buy their products in spray cans at the auto parts stores.i always have some around and if a see a place to spray it,i do.can't hurt.some people save used motor oil and spray the bottoms of cars.i've had 3 people in the last few months bring me 2010 or so chevy trucks with the frames rotten wanting repairs.i've chased them away.not worth fooling with.junk.

I wonder how that stuff works if the vehicle already has rust though? Maybe it just soaks into the existing rust to help prevent more..... LockDoc

I think it would help. It seems once metal appears as pitted and rusty the corrosive is in the material pores where it doesn't rinse out. You need to "send in" something to halt or at least deter it. Like rust inhibitor, thin oil, or a paint over product. How far does POR15 (or similar) go toward halting then preventing rust? I'm not convinced on the halting, just Painting Over Rust. I fear the rust will continue under that nice shell

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
well i have been busy,not working on my truck and not all today but a little to show for the hard work.a month or so ago,we built a new deck on the back of the house.i told the guy who was here doing it,momma needed a new clothes line and i needed him to build that into the deck.i didn't think what he proposed would work and didn't.it wobbled all over the place and put a huge strain on the deck.i ripped what he built apart,dug a 6 foot hole in the ground and put a piece of 3 inch pipe,6 feet long in concrete,then built a new steel pole out of 2 1/2 pipe ,slid that down 6 feet into the 3 inch pipe,anchored it to the main frame of the deck,i think it's there to stay.then onto the greenhouse.the new greenhouse i built for my bride last year,blew away during Hurricane Fiona last fall.i found it down over the bank by my brook,we hauled it back up to where it belonged,made some repairs and she has put it to work again this year,well i'll be darned,if i didn't look the other day and was leaving again??so i dug some holes and today filled 5 gallon buckets with concrete and a chain bolted to a brake rotor down in the bottom of the bucket then filled them with concrete and chained up to the bottom sills underneath the greenhouse.tomorrow i'll cover it all in with stone and some dirt over top and make some new grass.the old water pump is going to painted up and planted out there somewhere and my wife will fill an old bucket with flowers and she'll hang it on the spout.i found the pump next door thrown down over the bank at what was my grandparents place.my grandfather passed in 1970 and my grandmother a year later.they bought the property in 1923,built a house and a barn,never had water in the house.i remember them drilling a well in 1969 and putting that old pump outside the front door,you'd think they won the lottery cause before that water was delivered or my dad or his brothers would haul it from a spring with a horse and wagon.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went to a fish fry with some new friends down by the river. Was a great afternoon, which reminds me to finish up my boat repairs so I can go fishing too!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Caught this 2 lb 1 oz “Big Boy” and turned him loose. I hate putting a knife in those big stud crappie. Maybe I’ll catch him again sometime. Hope so!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
They sure are! I really prefer crappie in the 1 pound range for the best eating. Those big uns eat good too, but I just would rather take a picture and let em go. I rarely rarely keep a big crappie.

Glad the car was off and toes were clear. It pays to hang on to stuff like the old togue jack. "We have that in stock"

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It wasn’t that old when I replaced it . I put the electric lift because of my shoulder . Never was the same after the rotor cuff tear repair just doesn’t like that circular motion
