Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finally sold my car trailer...didnt need it anymore and it was taking up space....
Brought my landscape trailer for some much needed repairs....fixed some side panel damage, couple blown light bulbs, greased the wheel bearings and replaced the front lift wheel mechanism..... Am going to reposition the spare tire bracket to the center of the front rain inside the A frame to give me more turn clearance.... Lick of paint and it is as good as new.... Contemplating putting a small winch on the trailer soon...I seem to be getting lots of enquiries regarding broken ride on lawn tractors and zero turns and am too old now to push them up the ramp.... ![]() ![]() ![]()

These cancelled sale scenarios happen around here an awful lot, so much in fact that we were ready to not accept bids/offers from the type of buyers that seem to be doing most of the backing out. The sense is that these buyers are going into multiple contracts without regard for the damage they are doing to the sellers. We were fully prepared to deal with this but, alas, we didn't have to deploy our anti-get-F***** countermeasures! LOL. The big offer scared me off for a number of reasons, chief among them were this issue of getting tossed like bait-fish back into the sea just before closing. We ended up with 7 offers, only one of which was at asking price. The largest was 50k over asking next 35k over and the rest were 30k, 30k, 20k and 17k over. The big offer was also all cash but from an unknown agent and our agent had zero contact with him other than a few texts about how high the offer needed to be and then his client's offer. We simply negotiated up on one of the lower offers because we liked the family ( this family was one of two that wrote us a "love" letter and included pics of themselves ), they had been in constant contact with our agent throughout the entire period and they had proof of a lot of funds going into their down payment of nearly 50%. These buyers seem to be solid. Only time will tell now. -klb

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I don’t have a truck for these so I guess it counts . Polished up my treasures as my wife says every time I find something at a swap meet.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My “TOT-ROD” stroller project fell by the wayside last summer so I jumped back on it today and blended in the round rod surrounding the “stacks”. The hood area got painted satin black to enhance the gasser vibe and save as much of the original patina as possible. I’m going to cover the interior with roll on bed liner and unbolt the chassis for a coat of fire engine red. It looks like there’s going to be some shows this year so I have to get it ready for the grandkids...

Our realtor was a high school classmate and daughter of a close friend of my mom's. She helped us tremendously to get a good price. I was ready to just sell it cheap to some house flipper.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Serviced my two tankless water heaters. Cleanded burners, blew out heat exchanger, cleaned inlet water filter.
Put the wood frames on the bathroom mirrors the wife had been wanting me to get done and also fixed the exhaust fan in the master bath water closet. Walked over to the neighbors pond and caught a few fish.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks, I really like this bike. It was a reproduction Schwinn beach cruiser you could buy at walmart like 10 years ago, plus it's my favorite color combo on just about anything. It's a nice riding bike.
Little guy is big enough now to sit up and go for rides. He really likes car and stroller rides, so fingers crossed. We're going on a test run this weekend.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Is there a screen that prevents debri from being picked up by the tire and tossed back onto that carrier in the infants face?

![]() Yes! You can kinda see it thrown over the top. In addition to the screen, there's also a clear cover too that you can roll down that snaps in place. This was the highest rated carrier I found. I wonder how many times I'll forget he's back there and run through a mud hole ![]() ![]() Looking at it again... it really needs some old school wire spoke wheels.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I used to have a Burley Trailercycle, which was for once your child gets bigger. It's his own bicycle without a front wheel that hooks to your seat post. It makes your bike a bicycle built for 1 1/2

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to Catalina Island with my first wife and rented a bicycle built for two. I thought it would be romantic to cruise the island.
All she did was run her mouth and complain that I was either going too fast or too slow. ![]() ![]() I felt like jumping off the thing and watching her crash. ![]() So much for romance. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Had to make the same ride I did last week when I lost the hubcap for the 85. Found it about a mile from my destination about 30 miles from my house in a ditch ,couple of scratches tho . But it’s better than the beat up one I put on the truck .
