It's a mess. I have to keep reminding myself how nice things will be once I get that barn move done. So many things hinge on it. I just need to gather some more things to make it happen. Once that's done I'll be able to have both trucks under roof., and room to work on them!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
S-K, that SWB does really look like it belongs there. Even matches the trim color on the garage. Somehow it looks to me like a spider backed into its hidey hole. Good progress. It will be nice for you when you finish the barn move and can get everything settled where it belongs.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
After a rocky start my wife’s bike decide to crap out . Mid shaft snapped bike has a similar setup as our trucks two piece drive shaft basically the tail shaft sheared at the bolt . So we unloaded all the gear and she drove the car and I road up to New Hampshire for Laconia bike week just doing four days . So instead of getting here around three we got her close to seven about 290 miles .
The fix for the bike is either tear down the trans and replace the shaft or drill and tap it for a large bolt to hold the yoke in place . Which means either way the rear tire and swing arm have to be removed going to try drilling it

You are enjoying the true biker experience. Happens from time to time. It's always great when they just go! Enjoy Laconia

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well it’s done finally!
I call it death by a thousand cuts because it sure feels like that. There may be a more technical name for it… ![]() My un-named project is now out of public view, patiently waiting for its time to shine. Hmm maybe that would work. Time to Shine.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The gate is really shaping up, looking good! I say the same thing about couple more house projects then getting back to trucks. Them some big house projects and they sure can grow.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not today, but Thursday I paid my electric bill. Yes I sure did. I walk around to my driveway and there's a Potomac Edison pickup in my driveway and I see a guy. He was dropping off a nasty note prior to cut-off. Middle of the month is when it's due. I felt surprised but more concerned about hurrying up to pay. I guess I'm riding a month behind, so cut-off to cut-off?
I call to pay and am only asked the amount I always pay (avg pmnts), nothing about past due amount. I call back to check balance, which didn't register my payment yet, and was told balance was amount I just paid and it is due 6/24. Now I'm really scratching my head. The guy had stuck the notice in my door, then grabbed it and handed it to me. I didn't see an acct# on it. I go look it over again and that's when I saw it was for my neighbors behind me! That's great for me, I sure got paid up quick. But pretty awkward now. I decided to be a chicken about it. I waited till Dad and Meemah left for work yesterday, snuck up on the porch, and stuck the notice in the door. I know nut'ing!

![]() ![]() There was one guy. (nice guy) He repaired cars in his driveway. He was always home and always paid me. That's just how he paid his bill. So I show up as usual. Same old same old. He pays the bill and I get in my truck and leave. I'm driving away and I see him chasing me yelling. ![]() It turns out the disconnect was for his next door neighbor that I had never had a collection on before. Neither of us had noticed. We were just going through the motions. ![]() We got a laugh out of it. He was lucky to catch me because he paid the bill in cash and it wasn't even his bill. Turns out his neighbor had died. That's why the bill wasn't paid and I had never been to that house before. We both just assumed it was him. I hated that job. But this guy was always cool. Never a complaint, always friendly and trust me I didn't get too much of that. I had a few customers like this guy. I guess their philosophy was when the guy shows up it's time to pay the bill. That's just how they did it. I've got a million stories like that. It was a crazy job.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Ripped into my wife’s bike . Had to take pretty much half the bike apart . Got the mid shaft out u joint was binding and caused pressure on the output shaft causing it to snap. The fix is drill and tap the shaft to accept a 5/16 grade 8 bolt. New u joint is on its way . Next it file a flat onto the shaft and make up a drill guide to drill it square .
