Re: My Facetruck thread.

My daughter has the charger to my camera (she recently gave me), been camera-less lately. I can't wait to get some pictures. This place has been turned into a retirement home. I think it housed up to 16. Not too chopped up inside. The fire escape has been taken down. Those doors are original, though. I wonder if there were balconies or what? This place sits on a high plain with a wide view of Catoctin Mt. to the west. Great sunsets. When you are in the attic it's like being in an airplane compared to my place

Re: My Facetruck thread.

I feel like I'm on an overhaulin' episode. As most of you know I've been fighting lymphoma for thelast year. I'm going to start radiation on a rogue lymphnode next week. As a result I haven't had the energy or drive to work on "Blue". So on Saturday a friend showed up with two trailers. He told me some of my friends have gotten together and want to help me out. They loaded my truck and the new frame and hauled it off. Last night he called and said the suspension and differentials are in the new frame. The new trans is built. He's thinking they're going to have the cab and bed back on it by the end of the week. I'm excited....

That is great news Dale. When the going gets rough is when you figure out who the true friends are.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

7yo boy had a fever yesterday so has to stay home from school even though feeling better today, has to be 24hrs fever free..

so today is sweeper day, have to move the white burb off the street.. what the heck, take it for a spin, kid loves laying rubber

some nissan z car something thought he was cute so had to blow his doors off for the first few hundred feet anyway, boy cheering me on

pull in the driveway and figured I'd double check all the lights.. walking past the rear window and he reminds me there's no door there

get inside, going through some work email and hear a familiar tune from the living room.. ya, he's watching rat patrol! now, how it's made on hulu..

7 year old.


so, y'all know why free air at the gas station is now a $1?















inflation.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

so, Jack recalled his stainless cups that came with gentleman gift boxes, limit 2 per household..

seems there's an issue with sharp edges or something and they're asking purchasers to throw them away..

Mrs. Bee informs them that we have bought many of those and even after giving them away, still had several..

Jack replied as a gentleman, sent an even case of etched low ball rocks glasses

Re: My Facetruck thread.

pulled my check book out of my bag to buy a part from a forum member and found this..

haven't had it out for at least a year probably so no idea why it's there or what it was for..

that's the best idea I've heard in a while!

if I didn't have so many chores piled up when I'm home on the farm I'd make it happen.. hopefully sooner than later I'll have a chance to meet y'all Arkansas folks.. I have some kin there so maybe I could see some of them too..

me too, or should I say $300

I put it back for safe keeping, some day I might actually remember what it was for

Mrs. Bee saved my outgoing payment from the fourth day of our local deluge [I thought was ending yesterday] so it went in the blue box today

speaking of which, I noticed my kid's beach buckets were left out from last weekend's casting practice with his new kastking baitcaster and full of water..

8 1/4 inches worth and still goin' when I left for work

that ain't what I'm paying these ridiculous property taxes for
