I declare it officially SPRING !!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Down here "close to Atl" ya know it's gettin' close to spring when the peep frogs start chirpin', and the outside cats start fightin', and that Pine pollen makes your truck look like a yellow cab !!!!

But the official begining of Spring is when you open that kick panel vent for the first time !!!!! I did it today comin' home from work,,,,,them dried up leaves comin' out of there looked like Easter flowers sproutin' from the ground !!!!! LOL

Haven't opened the other side vent yet. Can't wait to see what pops outta there, maybe some money got stuck in there over the Winter and will start blowin' out $100 bills.

Hey y'all It's Spring !!!!

woodrow59 · 03-25-2007, 10:35 PM

Dang Chip,,,,,, What kinda grass ya got in your lawn up there ????? Rye or did ya get some overspray from the wheat field !!!!!!!!! LOLOL

williamt · 03-26-2007, 12:29 PM

the combination of primer gray and pollen yellow do make an interesting color

67ChevyRedneck · 03-26-2007, 12:32 PM

It was almost 90 sat and sun when I was in columbia, SC.

ND_guy · 03-26-2007, 12:40 PM

I fell on the ice walking to class last friday

Maybe we will get spring up here soon.

bobthecop · 03-26-2007, 12:43 PM

Had to mow my place too, sure got green quick,

Yeller68 · 03-26-2007, 01:49 PM

That's the good thing about a yellow truck. Blends in nicely with the pollen.

My thermometer says 76º right now. That's almost 30º above normal for Iowa for this time of year. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.......

Wow, Douglasville, Villa Rica, and Bremen for me. At least I know someone else feels my pain when even the cars/trucks in the garage are yellow. That stuff is evil.

cdowns · 03-26-2007, 02:28 PM

we had 3 or 4 days of winter this year in feb when it got down in the 50's

superjeer · 03-26-2007, 03:09 PM

we had to pull the wagon full of sports gear over a 4 foot drift to get to the playground, but we skated, rode bikes, played bball and foot ball.. it was great!

I'm sore.

Chevyholic · 03-26-2007, 05:10 PM

I think I've pulled enough oak leaves out of the vent to make a whole new tree!

chipflyer · 03-26-2007, 06:56 PM

Another sure sign of spring is that I got to go to my first dirt track race of the year at Thunder hill Speedway in Mayetta on Sunday afternoon/evening. They had the USMTS modified series with drivers from all over the midwest, 56 of them.

Yep, winter is over here......

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-26-2007, 07:54 PM
