mine was pulling the old M-21 Muncie from little blue and got ready to tear it apart and rebuild it. it was nice i just laid on the ground and unbolted it and lifted it out by hand

by the way any body know what speedo gear to use with 3.73 rear, and a 0-100 speedometer

sodak69c10 · 11-24-2007, 04:14 PM

oh and i wanted to add that i fired it up for a while,after sitting for 3 months it fired right up, even in its half disassembled state it looked cool running like that,

mine was to put the weather stripping on my truck!

dastuck · 11-24-2007, 04:26 PM

I got up this morning and headed into the woods to do a little bow hunting in the 18 degree F. weather. Had a shot at a really nice 9 point, but i didnt see the small twig between me and him but my arrow found it. 20 yards broadside and my arrow hit the branch and went flying into the ground behind the deer. Luckily it didnt spook him to bad and he just walked off. Im getting ready to head back out to give it another try. I did gourge myself today until i could barely walk, and get a few pics of my 72 c10 frame i just finished spraying yesterday and post those pics on my thread.

To paint a farmall cub tractor I have. Im fixing it to sell.

Rokcrln · 11-24-2007, 04:35 PM

Mine is to spend time with the family. I am out at the inlaws with my wife and son (and dog). I might pull my 67 SS396 chevelle out for a run (I keep it here so it stays nice and I put less miles on it this way). I just got back from a walk with my son around the block at my inlaws and saw a great car sitting in a garage. An original 67 SHELBY GT fast back! I talked with the wife and she said it was her husbands 16th Birthday present.

I will be back home Friday and finish getting the shop cleaned up for the return of "Trazer" on Saturday from the blasters. Then after that I need to run down to the bay area to pick a new toy for me, a 63 SWB GMC that was offered to me just yesterday for a steal. Then Sunday I have not yet figured that out. Might start back on the Trazer.

Mine Was Eating Ham, Cajun Deep Fried Turkey, Regular Deep Fried Turkey, Green Beans, Sweet Tea W/splenda. And Feeding The Same To My 1 Year Old Grandson. But Not In That Exact Order. Because Caden "the Grandson" Wanted His Bites First!!!

mothertrucker424 · 11-24-2007, 06:21 PM

ordered parts and i finished my shop and gonna get ready for turkey rod run

**Palf70Step** · 11-24-2007, 07:42 PM

Drive to mother-inlaws, Eat, drive home...Surf the board.

Not sure about the rest of the weekend. Probably not a whole lot of truck stuff as I am still getting over a lung infection. Saturday will be yank th tree and decorations down from attic ans get things ready for mom and kids to work on.

hdflstf · 11-24-2007, 07:53 PM

Replaced the second broken motor mount. Both are now in and torqued. Fluid in the front diff. Power steering hose in and tight. Fluid in the power steering now. Scraped most of the muck off the transfer case so it can go on the workbench tomorrow for new seals, bearings, and a general inspection.

Time for dinner.. Lobster salad with a citrus tarragon dressing and grilled chilean sea bass with a lobster stock white wine cream sauce. Also, areally good chardonnay to wash it down.

**Boog** · 11-24-2007, 07:56 PM

Eat, sleep, surf the boards. Enjoy being here with my wife. Sunshine and in the mid 50's.

**70cst** · 11-24-2007, 07:57 PM

Drill new belt holes in my belt. If I keep eating like this I'm going to have extend my seat belt in the Green Machine.

lowrollin70gmc · 11-24-2007, 08:23 PM

Go to Grandma's and eat food, get sent home with food, and work the rest of the weekend.

Plans got modified when a Subaru pulled in front of my Cobalt and I hit him with my front corner. Didn't look bad until you pop the hood and the headlight, headlight bracket, grill, bumper support and many other parts are crushed. I now have a custom bungi cord holding my headlight on. And that headlight's only 3 weeks old! (Warranty replacement). So now I get to research what I'm going to do.

But I have a fridge full of food.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-24-2007, 08:25 PM

Eat AT THE INLAWS and get my build thread posted and I managed to get both of those done so I may head out to the shop to work on my junk...Looks like its gonna get down to 22 tonight so I better get the coffee ready..

PanelDeland · 11-24-2007, 10:35 PM

Eat,surf the net and eat some more.Now Fri.Mrs.P has to work and I'm off,so if the weather stays like it was today I will do some stuff in the garage and sand the inner fenderwells.If not I am also doing a redecorating project in my home office and may do some in here.Sat and Sun will be replays of Fri,though I may make a run to HF,NT,or B&N.
