Looking forward to making the trip to the great NW in August… so my mug can show up in pics from your get-down!!!

Ta2Don · 10-22-2014, 10:14 AM

Here are a couple of pics Coulter shot...

Ta2Don · 11-09-2014, 10:06 PM

Small update today… after working with electrician friend to get some lights on the studio sign, then checking out furnace on RV and insulating water line… I stole away to the shed and started to re-arrange parts and pieces in order to move forward on the truck…

Truck Time...

All I really accomplished was moving door innards from damaged driver's door to the new to me door… small update, but update nonetheless...

dwcardfan · 11-09-2014, 10:42 PM

Truck time!! Even the small things have to be done.

Grizz1963 · 11-10-2014, 04:36 AM

I tell you what Don, when Martin snagged that replacement door for £100/$160 in March, I wanted it as well, but moving all the glass, hardware etc scares me so much that I was kinda glad he got it, forcing me to repair my creased passenger door.

You see it as small progress, I see a job without which you cannot progress.

Last night Nicola made us roast chicken, potatoes and roast vegetables, followed by red berry fruits, crushed meringue nests, a dash of ice cream with whipped cream on top and coffee later, as the builder is coming in today to repair the ceiling, replaster the walls which are textured etc from the water damage we had in September.... So we will not have a kitchen for a while as he fits us into his regular job, but it saves a lot of money.

Progress is progress.

**clemdaddy** · 11-10-2014, 08:03 AM

prepping the place for winter is a good thing and stealing a little truck time is a better thing.

we had a bad thing happen yesterday. went out to a buds place to drag back a 63 1 ton when the motor in the dually went south. big knocking sound. will get towed back today and investigate trouble... but i'm really bummed. oh well, if i have to replace the motor it will be a good time to put the 5-speed in that i got from kieth years ago.

Thats a real bummer !!!

Breakdowns are always worse when you are "busy working"

Like you say, at least a reason to address other upgrades.

Ta2Don · 11-10-2014, 10:19 AM

Stealing a little truck time…

Clem, that;s a buzzkill for sure for the dually, at least in the present, but I'm digging' the 5 speed upgrade...

Thanks for the encouragement guys, Progress is progress!

Prepping for winter this weekend is a Must Do as the high to day is forecast to be 22 C and the the average high for the next 9 days is just under 8 C...

that equates to 72F today and an avg of 47F for the next 9 days…which is about 20 below our avg for this time of year…

Enough moaning and groaning…

Plans are to get the cab tucked away for hand sanding and get started on Frame Swap...

TJ's Chevy · 11-10-2014, 12:14 PM

Making progress brotha! That's what counts.

Highs here have been in the mid 50's and lows in the 30's for almost a month now. Ah well...Bond fire time! lol

CRGRS 66 · 11-10-2014, 02:41 PM

WOW! Didn't know you guys spoke celcius (some say centigrade)

, it is a balmy 50F and sunny here in the land of hockey sticks and maple syrup

I enjoy every moment I get with my "other woman", glad to see you get some time.

Clem, sh#tty, sorry to hear about the engine.

Ta2Don · 11-10-2014, 11:34 PM

C'mon Blackhawks!!!

CRGRS 66 · 11-10-2014, 11:51 PM

C'mon man.... gotta back your Arizona Cyotes too... right?

Allow me to clarify Craigerr, I currently live in Arkansas, not Arizona, for some reason even folks in the states equate AR for Arizona...

I've had supply companies I've done biz with for years ask me where in Arizona Searcy is...

I was born and raised in the Chicago area, thus my affinity for the Blackhawks, and yes, Da Bears and the Cubbies, although this is a tough year to be a Bears fan...

As for the Celsius references, I communicate with Grizz and Martin in the UK and have adopted the Celsius mindset at times.

CRGRS 66 · 11-11-2014, 12:22 PM

Well aren't I just the perfect fool

My step son and daughter have abandoned my Leafs, and have taken up with your beloved Blackhawks, can't say I blame them, beauty team, and I am getting a l'il sick of perpetual mediocrity myself, but I yam what I yiz!

We have been speaking celcius up here so long, that Fahrenheit is almost Greek to me!

4mulaSvaliant · 11-12-2014, 08:16 AM

Sub'd man! lookin good!

Grizz1963 · 11-18-2014, 08:24 AM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD MAN !!!!

Hope its a hugely rewarding day with family and that the year ahead is filled with great truck stuff and health.

Huggs from Nicola too.

**clemdaddy** · 11-18-2014, 08:49 AM

mjh1965 · 11-18-2014, 10:07 AM
