Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My honey is working today, which is too bad because it super nice out, very blue sky. Everything is still well covered in snow. I hopped in the little Fiat 500, put the top all the way down, and went for a drive. Wasn't too chilly, I think it was 29, but I had the heat cranked lol.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got all the Christmas visitors out and the oil pan gasket changed on the 81, so I spent yesterday and today working on cleaning up and reorganizing the shop. Put some shelves together to store bins of parts and stuff. Shifted the welder & hydraulic press around to make room for longer truck. I can at least move around well, but still have things I need to get in storgae bins or shelves.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Bill, I'm sorry to say you don't have enough walls to put all of that stuff up.
But I don't either. ![]()

My problem exactly.... I have been trying to straighten up my shop for the last month but the going has really been slow. Seems like I always come across a part that needs cleaned up or repaired so I stop the cleaning and do that. You know, the 15 minute job that takes 2 hours... ![]() LockDoc

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The last gal I had living here, maybe a years and a half, I can only remember her cooking dinner 3 or 4 times. It gave me pleasure to pamper her................................................................until it became what about me time
![]() ![]() I had a first date with another gal. She offered to come over and fix me dinner. I was impressed. But I didn't like it that much. Never had a second date ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You have a nice one. I guess clutter is inevitable with our sort. Got parts?
![]() I am moving my 12 x 20 barn w/upper floor. It had a mixture of things, including my bigger/heavier truck stuff, like engines, transmissions, and transfer cases and it all needed cleared out. First time that building has been cleared out in 32 years when I built it! I stuffed a lot of things in my screen house, which is up the hill across the yard. I wasn't about to move engines and such up there, so I built a temporary shelter using screws and bolts, for easy disassembly later, on the slab in front of the building. Now that is cluttered. Last night in the dark I kicked over the coffee can I've been setting my oil funnel in to drip all these years. I searched all over for the bucket of oil dry. I knew exactly where it was for over 30 years. The slab is sloped, so... time was of the essences. Finally found it in the far back corner stuffed under an engine on a stand. Had to move things to get even close, reached way back and down barely able to flip the lid off, but no way was it coming out of there. I ran around and found a paint cup to scoop it out and spread. A frantic time for sure. Of course, it is spread right in the path to my tool chest. Here's the outside. I thought I had an inside picture on the 'puter. I'll grab one and stick it here later Here it is

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Tim, yes there is stuff going away soon I hope in there, mostly 250 6-banger extras. After helping my friends widow with all his stuff, I want to thin it out some so my wife and kids won't have to deal with (well as much anyways) that I just helped with.

I hope they won't be dealing with what you've left behind for a good long while, Bill.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Bought another house today. I'm not moving. It's just going to be a weekend place right in downtown Kernville right next to the Kern River.
I couldn't pass it up. And I also can't believe that I got it. Property around here is hot right now and I got creamed on the last house that I tried to buy. But the previous owner was transferred and wanted to unload it. Furniture and everything. And it's nice stuff. Really nice. This guy spent some cash tricking this place out. It doesn't need anything. Which is good for me because I don't like to do anything, So. I'm stoked. I love this place. It's just a small place, but location, location, location. It's right where I want to be. And it's just me and my wife. And I can always sleep in the doghouse. I've done it before. (move over Duke) Here's the tiny worst picture that I could post and really doesn't do the place justice, but the other pic's won't upload. I hate computers. ![]()

When you get in trouble as much as I do it's called planning.

Spent the day finding parts to repair the drain lines under our utility room sink. Two trips to Menards and I still don't have the right parts. God I hate plumbing stuff.
