Thanks, I think...
Not so sure about ingenuity, but I can lay some hammer time on some tin !!
The videos are kinda easy, just pick a theme and a subject and go for it.
I have to admit I borrowed the sunglasses from Bomp, and the hats came from him too.
But I am totally going for the "Silent Bob" or "Wyle Coyote" mystic.

I am just glad someone likes them.

As soon as I get 4gigs worth of vids I will start putting them on disc !!
Then when my son is my age and I am long gone, he can show his son what a dork his grandfather was....

Well thank you very much, glad you got me into this thing.
It is a tad time consuming, and I almost always forget to shoot footage, but it is fun none the less!!
As far as your vids go, man the one of you cutting your roof to butt-up your two seperate cabs would have been an edge of the seat viewing !!
LoL as I write this, you inspire me on how to format my next video.
See how awesome you are?

Soooooooooo
I guess you dont want to know it was -40 today.
It was so cold the studded snow tires on my daily driver were out of round until they warmed up about a half mile down the hardball....
Yeah, well Uncle Sam said I had to come here, so here I am. This however, should be our last winter up here.
We hope to be out of here by September.

Thanks Bomp, likewise on the lookout !!
I have already started the premise for 2 more vids, I guess my sense of humor translates to video far better than it does in written words...
Thanks again for all your inspiration !!

Thanks for taking a look at my stuff, and very glad you got a chuckle out of it.

Ok Chad... Like I said above, already got the ideas for 2 more lined up. So I guess stay tuned eh?

**********************************************************

It is supposed to "warm up" to zero degrees this weekend and snow!
Yay.

Yesterday the shock absorbers I posted about waaaaaay back in July (page 20) arrived. I tried to get them tru a local parts store, and got tired of waiting so as soon as I saw they were offered on Amazon.com I ordered them.

They are Gabriel Load Carriers Part numbers 34036 Front and 43093 Rear for this year half ton trucks. Like I said last summer, we have them on our classic cars and love them.

Here they are unboxed and frosting over because they were so cold !!


Front P-side installed.


Both the fronts.


Rear P-side in.


both of them.


funny how the arrival of new parts can be so motivating!!

[Bomp]

New parts motivating,,,yes,,,,warming up to 0? Don't even know what to say. 0. Thats with a Z. 0.
No wonder you ain't said nothin in the vids. Your teeth are chattering.

[Ta2Don]

Looking good Man!!!

[JJ's Sierra Grande]

great videos and awesome sense of humour..being in Canada I can relate to the winter wrenching. ya just gotta grin an bear it or nothing gets done. and yes we get happy when we say its warming up to 0 degrees. lol
59 degrees to us is shorts and t shirt time.

[truckzilla]

Hey Sarge. you said from Bomp's build thread:
Quote:
[/hijack on] Yes there is still the Santa Shop, and the 42 foot tall Santa, and all the streets named as you would expect. I am hoping Santa will not mind being a key part in the Christmas Special video I have planned; so stay tuned !! [\hijack off]

I had to come over and see what all the excitement is about! I had to subscribe and now I know my day will be pretty much gone by going back and reading through the whole thing! The videos are absolutely killer!

I'm dropping you a PM.

Thanks for serving our country!

[flips72]

shocks look great, shes coming right along, i love the way you broke up the supension with the silver and reds

It is certainly a learning experience up here.
I hope to be done learning... up here .... so I can leave and never come back. Though I know I will never complain about the cold, long winters, or endless night ever again !!

What a great analogy! It does feel like we're all hanging out at a buddy's garage shooting the bull, getting help and passing along advice! I wish I could hand you all a beer!

Problem is, I don't get any real work done anymore!

[Low Elco]

Glad it ain't just me, I got the DOJ virus also. Didn't want to spend that Hundy, but I got tuned up in the process. Hope you get fixed soon!

I have to agree with the recent comments about the videos and the analogy about "Hanging out with Buddys!" Loving my Old Truck and the New Friends acquired here... You Guys Rock!!! Keep up the great work.
