Thanks for your service! That looks like it would be fun to fly. Could move some stuff in a hurry.

Ratman74 · 09-03-2021, 12:52 PM

thanks, the C-17 is a cool jet and I have no complaints about my job. What I need to do is get back in the garage! Lol

Must be Martinsburg. It isn't in the garage, but on Sept 23-25 is the ATHS Tri-State Antique Truck Show at the Clearbrook Ruritan grounds along Rt 11. Check it out, brink your truck if you can

Yep, she's been getting a real workout the last couple weeks overseas. As a longtime airlifter, it's weird to see our jets all over the news.

It's neat. They simply call it "camp" up there, not the camp. I spent one night in a bed in their place, one night at camp, and one night on the shop floor on an air mattress. All three suited me just fine

You could say their house is the shop or the shop is their house

72c20customcamper · 09-02-2021, 09:47 PM

Put the rear in the Toyota . Need to make up some brake lines put new cylinders and shoes . Just going to spray some rust converter on the rusty parts . Try to make it last a few more years .

That camp is cool. I think you could call it RiverCamp. Kind of like RiverDa... Uh, I'll just quit now, but you could put on some Irish music, some clogs and go out on the dock and make quite a racket, haha. That shop house is very interesting as well.

**special-K** · 09-03-2021, 05:07 AM

Good deal. You could always paint over the convertor to help it last better.

My labor day weekend started with a main water line break to the house right outside the meter box. Repaired the line but left the hole open a few days to make sure it didn't have any small leak still. Backfilling the hole today. No fun at all.

**3757chevy** · 09-10-2021, 12:53 AM

I picked up Chinese food from The Jade Cafe for my Wife tonight . Today was her Birthday.

I bought my wife a Birthday gift today as well.

A Porsche 986 Boxster S with 40K miles. Always garaged. It's a cream puff. My Carrera's little sister.

Happy wife equals happy life. And she's pretty happy right now

No pic's yet. It was hotter than Hades and we were leaving town and the dealer still had to smog it. I'll pick it up when I get back.

Since she got a new toy does that mean you get to inherit her Vette?

No. It doesn't work that way.

She keeps both. I just get the bill.

**FleetsidePaul** · 09-11-2021, 08:25 AM

That ring is bigger than the Porsche I bought.

Had to rig up a fan for my Chevelle . One of The Flex-a-lite fans crapped out dead short really heated up the wire too smoke coming out from under the hood . Called Dewitt radiators about it because it was their setup . They put a 30 amp fuse with 10 wire from the battery in the harness and it’s connected to a 12 to the fan from the relay . That’s the wire that melted before the fuse finally blew out. Long story short they stopped using those fans and changed to Spal . Guy says that I should have gotten an email to change the fuse to a 20 amp .

Replacement motor 6 weeks out so I just took a motor and fan from one I had laying around on a shelf. Worked out well just a few mods to make it work . But the good news is that they gave me 20% off my next order so I ordered the 2 row 1.25 inch tubed HD rad as the car was running warm at highway speeds . A/F mix spot on and timing advance also so it pointed to the old 2 row 1” rad was a tad to small for the new engine

mr.mud1 · 09-11-2021, 09:35 AM

yes sir Dwayne,it was something like that and where the sun doesn't shine??no respect.

yuccales · 09-11-2021, 11:51 AM

Put the truck flags out front at 4:00 am. Chevy taking a break today.

72c20customcamper · 09-11-2021, 06:42 PM

2nd load of firewood . Most likely two more should be good stacked in the basement. About 6 or 7 cord have an extra 4 all seasoned just in case .

Also made up the brake lines on the Toyota this morning

I love your wagon. There's some cool stuff in that building.

**FleetsidePaul** · 09-13-2021, 11:50 PM

I did nothing. Just let the phone ring. I was numb.

My brothers girlfriend called me and told me that my brother had died suddenly. Totally unexpected. I had just talked to him and he was fine. We talked the same old BS as usual.

When his girl called me last night. I immediately knew something was wrong. She never calls me. Especially late at night.

She said that he fell asleep in front of the TV and never woke up.

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-14-2021, 04:32 AM

My condolences Paul. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

**special-K** · 09-14-2021, 04:54 AM

Wow Paul, I bet you are numb. Sorry to hear this. Real sorry.
