Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
When I was a kid, we moved from town to the country, where the property around the house had been an old farmstead. Occasionally things would sort of just pop out of the ground, mostly junk. Two things I still have is this 1925 Coke sign and a Pyrex bowl that I use for my cereal.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The people that used to live here were just gross. There was garbage all over the place on top of the dirt too. I burned everything. Took me a long time to clean up. I found a couple of things I saved, but nothing I eat out of.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My place has lots of broken glass . An old cobbler must have dumped his stuff here , We have found an old shoe polish bottle with a cork and wire top with a round brush. Old shoes (mostly just the heel and sole), Lots of broken glass. And a caster oil bottle

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to the hardware store today. I needed some screws and miscellaneous things.
The guy walks up and asks me if I need some help? I say no. I've got it. He just stands there. I didn't pay much attention. Then i went over to get some paint. He was still behind me. It was then that I realized that this guy is following me around like a private detective. He's watching me. Wherever I went he was right there. Shadowing me. I had to ask myself. Do I really look that bad? For gods sake I'm getting followed around in a store. I guess the answer is yes I do.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
When we first bought this house we're in, we needed to find the lot lines/stakes. A guy I work with is a nut when it comes to metal detecting. He came over and had a field day. He did find an old coin but that was it. He found a lot of junk. I also found it when I dug the post holes to put our fence in.
![]() Speaking of junk....... I took another load in yesterday. Shred is down from a couple of months ago but everything else is up. I only had 4300lbs of shred this load.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Started boiling the maple sap today. Trying something different since the buckets are semi frozen I removed the ice and just started with the leftover liquid. Which was already darker than normal used the refractometer and it’s at 9% sugar already !. Read online if I bring the buckets inside and drain after an hour what’s still ice is mostly water very little sugar.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I hope it turns out well. I can't believe the difference in climate between here and there this year. It's not spring yet, but we do seem to be through with hard freezes. It's time to till the garden. It was low 20s Thursday night, so still getting cold. But today I poured concrete with no concerns about freezing tonight

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Turned out well Tim . Little over 3 1/2 qts of syrup from 11 gallons of sap usually a 40 to 1 ratio so it saved a lot of time and propane

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i did,first time i saw it was yesterday.it has .5 of an hour on it,stickers still on the goodyear tires and no scratches in the paint in the backhoe or front bucket.i did notice the bear claw feet i wanted on the outrigger pads were not on.the guy told me they were there,but didn't bolt them on for fear they might get unbolted and dissapear.they will be installed when they leave to bring the tractor to me as well as replace the levelling rod on the front bucket that i pointed to them, was bent?other than that,it looked fine.it'll be sometime in the next week or so.i told him i was in no hurry and didn't want it delivered covered in road salt and crap.i waited this long,i can wait til there's a couple dry days.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Today I decided to take my old 996 Carrera out for a spin. She's been sitting around too long.
The old girl fired right up after at least 3 months of sitting. ![]() I told my buddy to hop in. He told me not to act like an idiot. ![]() So I stopped and put in some fresh gas and hit the twisty mountain roads. ![]() I had forgotten just how much fun that car is to drive. How much fun it is to bang the gears and open her up. The tires stuck to the road like glue. I fell back in love today. My friend needed a couple of beers to recover. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Another trip to the DMV. More disappointments. Left aggravated, again.
I bought the 91 and registered it last Nov and never received a title. I asked DMV about it and was told to call the state office. First thing in the morning I called and was on hold for almost 20 minutes, gave up and tried their website and did a title status check. It shows my title was printed Dec 9th, so where is it? Today I went to the local office and showed them what I found. She called the state office and was also on hold for over 10 minutes, finally someone answered and she said my new title had been returned undeliverable. Great! I have been having mail delivery issues for a good while now. That's a whole other problem with the postal service. The state will not mail the title again by certified or other. I have to go there to pick it up personally. So while I was there. We bought the 69 pkup through a friend in 1995 and pitched the title envelope in a drawer to register it once road ready. Well all these many years have gone by. It's still not road ready but I want to at least get the title in our name now so if I expire before the wife she won't have any issue selling it, like this. We have the title but the DMV also wants a Bill of Sale that we don't have and the old woman owner has long since passed. Now what?
