Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Me and the wife spent about 9 hours cleaning and painting the garage..I thing she is planning a "surprise" birthday party for my 60th in a couple of weeks. Some decorations are still hanging from my 50th. Time sure does fly.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I spent the last couple days preparing and installing cedar planking in the master bedroom closet. I feel I have to mention the material from CedarSafe is pretty poor quality. Lots of ends chipped out and bowing in the 4 inch direction. This has required me to cut the moderately bowed ones in half and re-square the ends to keep the seams from gapping. The worst pieces I just scrapped. There's 20-30% of the pieces that fall into this category.
It used to be there was a better quality planking available but nowdays it's this stuff, custom ordered wood, or 3/4 x 6 inch lumber. Both of those other options are significantly more expensive. The upside is the wife loves how it looks. The downside is she now wants the other upstairs closet done the same way.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went fishing. Well, guess I should say boating as I didn't catch a dang thing. Spent hours out there on a really nice little lake I haven't been to in over 30 years. Guess I'll have a nap now.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My "fishing" experience generally reminds me of that Tommy James song, "Draggin' a Line". If I really want to eat fish, I have to go to the store. My wife's father, on the other hand, could limit out in minutes with people on either side not even getting a bite. They always had rainbow trout stocked up in the freezer.

![]() That usually the way it works if they like it. ![]() I really like working with cedar. I am currently working on a Box to put the (Dog stuff) stuff on the back porch in. There is a Cedar Mill several miles from me. They are exclusively a Cedar mill. I got some Tongue and groove from there for the sides and had a Few 1x8's left from a facia board project for and old shop at Momma's. Here is a sneak peek at the box as I just got done with the last big Glue -Up. This is the Back side of the Front Panel. This is the Back side of the box mocked up. I have trim that I ripped to size that will cover the corners. Just need to get it together before I cut the trim to length. This is the inside of the back of the box. Time will tell if it gets trim or not. I do have thin strips if needed.

![]() Also looked at the CL pages for a vehicle I saw advertised at a local car show. It ain't on CL yet. I may have a good shot at it. It's a blue oval product, so that's all I'm going to say about it here.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It's all good man. This is the "not on your truck" section. Read that as "not on your GMC or Chevy that brought you here" and tell us about it. If you're happy, we're happy ; )

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Decided to bug out of NY on Sunday .Went to Laconia NH were 8 days early for bike week but I really don’t care for all the 20 or so percent that are idiots that really ruin it for everyone else. Did my rides got some Tee shirts and put about 500 miles on the bike and we will bug out of here before the craziness starts . Ohh and the hotel is about 1/3 price this week as apposed to next

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went and looked at another . 82 Suburban Silverado C20 big block with everything including rear air that works truck has 88 k showing and I believe it , all original never touched hood has few rub throughs to the primer in the edge of the peaks. I’m on the fence he’s firm at $1k more of what I would comfortably pay for it. I offered he countered and would budge . Told him I’d think about it . It’s a very nice truck but I wouldn’t be heartbroken if I don’t buy it .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I looked at this to on my way home from New Hampshire. Just out side Bennington Vermont . I’m going to call about it if the burban doesn’t come to fruition. This is a 92 with 50k original miles truck came out of Texas the only repaint that I could find on it was the roof . Typical that nobody waxes the roof. It’s a 4.0 4x4 with 5spd transmission
