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

I went to the gym this morning and walked on the treadmill for an hour, then I stopped at the store and got a couple doughnuts and a qt of milk. Polished it off before I got back to the house.

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

Spent a couple days with the boss doing some hiking ar Petit Jean park in Arkansas. Enjoy yhe quietness and for me the.hills like i grew up with in eastern pa. Not the flatness of the gulf coast. Used the Tacoma to see how it goes for long distance rides. Its ok. But like bigger trucks better. Need that V8 power baby!

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

Last night I took the snow plow off the Wrangler and put the regular bumper back.
Midwest folks don't swear at me if I jinxed it and we get another dump of snow.

Looks really good Greg. Might have to clear coat it and drive it for awhile that way - too pretty to cover up.

Hey, isn't it past bed time over there in Nova Scotia?

i'm jealous. I can see why you went back. Never been to the park but I rode backroads through some country that made me fall in love with that I'll never forget

You make me proud just to know someone with such skills. It's great to know where I can have my floor made when I get a street road project going

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

Yesterday I got the 2020 Mustang GT vert out of our cold storage building to start the spring clean up. Not really much to do other than check the oil and go over it with a spray quick detailer.
Looks like Wednesday is the first cruise day top down cruise day temp wise.
