Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Hasn't quite happened yet, but taking my oldest grandson to the Cowboys / Broncos game today. Won't mention the overall cost but, the closest parking I was willing to pay was 200 damned dollars.
My uncle used to take me the Cotton Bowl to watch the Cowboys in the early '60s and its still a great memory for me. I would rather watch the games on TV but, my Grandson is a Broncos fan. When the schedule came out he asked that we go as his 16th birthday gift. So, we are going. I did score 1st row second level so at least I won't have to stand up for the whole damn game like most folks do. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Dad wanted to go squirrel hunting before “all things deer hunting” begins next Saturday. I got 4 and he got 6. Dad got two with one shot…..said it was the second time in his life he did that. He’s 80.
I bagged this guy. Wonder what in the world could have happened to him……well, before I knocked him out of that pin oak tree. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Took the tank out of the Envoy . Damn nipples rotted away on the pump . Gas was dripping out from the return line . Of course it started after my wife filled it. And with the tip over valve in the filler no way of syphoning the gas .

And he took great pleasure in it. I told him just before the start, I feared it was a trap game....I was proved right. But his team won...which made it an even more special day.

Sometimes I love California. You deal with a lot of rust problems.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
thanks guys. i guess it should be anchored to the floor but i wanted to be able to move it around,depending on what i was working on.i could've used caster wheels with brakes but i didn't have any so i used what i had.i've only just finished this thing and played with it a bit,i set each wheel on a scrap piece of 4 inch channel,flat side down at 90 degrees to the wheel.it's heavy enough it doesn't go anywhere.the next time Princess Auto has caster wheels on sale with brakes,maybe i'll change them?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I've been busy trying to get dodges fixed for people outside of normal work. I've got 1 left to finish and a square body waiting for parts to get the 12v conversion done. I also decided this year was the year to get the scrap hauled in. Since it was worth nothing the last 3 to 5 years, I just hoarded it. I'm getting down to where I don't have a whole lot left after 3 good loads of shred and 3 of cast. Next is to clean radiators.
I'm not sure what happened on the cab. All I wanted to save was the windshield? ![]() Just kidding! ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I cut a couple truck loads of aspen firewood. About 4 more loads of oak over thanksgiving week and I’ll be set for next winter. (I always cut a year out) Today was my first real strenuous day of work since getting over Covid last week. felt great to get out and enjoy the highcountry air.

Are you going to put anything up across the top with the name of your ranch? LockDoc
