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

.

Moving furniture is harder than I remember. ( No, I am not asking you to help me move furniture. I'm not insinuating that you help me. I don't want your help. You don't have to tell me why you can't help ).

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

Dug 6 of 8 post holes for the fence around the garden before the sun came round. Actually I dug 6 wells they filled with water as I was digging this is why I picked this spot its always damp. I probably should have pounded in metal posts . I may for the last two as they are down slope from these.

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

Was going to work on priming my bed sides but my best buddy from college wanted some help Saturday modifying his yard spray rig. He had an idea of an adjustable height boom and after coming up with a couple other ideas this is what we ended up with. Simple flat stock drilled to fit, slotted, and bent the bottom ends back toward the tank and covered with a piece of split hose. Piece of 1/2" conduit, clamps, and now all he has to do is replumb and add his new nozzles. Great to hang out with an old buddy, drink a few beers, and work on something different.

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

I went to a car show in the morning. Spent about 2.5 hours until the heat became too much and people started to leave.
I went home for lunch while the wife was floating in the pool I had the first 2 hot dogs of the year.
Getting ready to celebrate my Dad's 80th birthday on Tuesday.

Did you go to the Pawling street show? I was going to but 93 degrees on blacktop isn’t my idea of fun

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

It was the Woodbury Ct. Lions Club annual show. It was on grass and there was a beautiful breeze but it was still pretty brutal. There was a pretty decent turnout.
Pawling is only about 35-40 minutes from me.

Busted a few nice Arkansas crappie; these are the two biggest ones. Ended up with 16 today…..enough for supper and a few fillets to give to an elderly couple I know.

I actually share with several older couples that are family & friends. Makes me feel good and I enjoy the catching anyway!

I went to an antique truck show (last weekend). Turns out the El Camino argument goes back farther than that, with the Studebaker Coupe Express

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

I went to the market. I know the girl there and she's kind of a flirt. Fine with me.

I had the yellow Corvette parked out front. She looked at it and giggled.

I asked her " Why are you laughing?

She told me that when I had come in a couple of days earlier a woman was at the counter and asked "Did that homeless guy just get out of that car?

Really??? Homeless guy??? I know that I didn't get all prettied up to go to the market...But homeless??? I'm wearing a Rolex and driving a Corvette. WTF?

But it gave the girl behind the counter a good laugh. And I like her. Good enough for me.

When I got home I looked in the mirror and thought. That woman may have had a point. I was looking pretty shabby. A little rough around the edges.

What the heck. We all got a good laugh out of it.

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

That’s a pretty blue and I like how your tail spoiler goes up higher like my friend’s old ‘78 Z28 did. I don’t know about rarities and all that. I was told because our “SS” emblem is white, it means that it did not have the RS package or it would have been red. No worries; Mama wanted it and it’s a low mileage garage kept cream puff so we bought it out of Iowa last December. Santa & Mrs. Claus both had a good Christmas!

Awesome stuff. Mine has the RS stuff and it’s nice but with that said, I really do also like the clean no BS look of the non RS headlights. You are correct white SS means no RS. That’s a clean car! They Are getting a little harder to find with low miles like that. Mines got 67 and some change. The spoiler and grill on mine are genuine GM accessories, which I feel really compliment the GM factory equipped ground effects it has. I really don’t care much for the little bitty stock spoiler they came factory with. The black on yours looks killer, black is really hard to take care of but it looks like you’ve got it figured out good! Here’s a few of my grill and my spoiler and a cluster shot of my own (for those who are about to comment on the low tire light at that speed; 3 tires had 34-36psi and 1 had 31) I’ve had it quite a bit faster but over 120 and I’m really not focused on glory shots of the speedo. This speedo picture was taken on the back stretch at Las Vegas motor speedway.

Get ready. He'll be asking for the keys soon enough.(for the truck not the lawnmower)

I had a friend that always had to mow the lawn at his parents house. That was his chore. They had a huge lawn. They had a power mower but it was a push mower. He pushed that mower around for years.

When he moved out and his dad had to take over the lawn duties his old man immediately bought a really nice riding mower.

He was a little steamed about that.

Not exactly the same, but I was primarily responsible for my parents yard. About 6 of their 10 acres is yard, rest was wooded. We always had old busted ass used mowers I would have to fix at least once a month and they never seemed to have a deck larger than 42". They were at least riders though.

I went off to college fall of 1999 many states away. By summer 2000 my dad had a brand new rider with a 54" deck
