I just made another trip around the sun. Decided to retire from CG next April, and I am closing on my house the 20th.
The months may change, but I am always APRIL

Yesterday something in my 250's steering column broke,wouldn't go into any gear.Shifter arm was free spinning,sitting on a slight incline with no E-brake....sat there awhile holding the brake till a guy chocked the wheel.....called a tow truck...went across the street and had a couple beers......and now it's sitting at home waiting for a repair.......that will be a whole nother story.After it warms up,till then I'll be styling around town in the F-350GT...(GT---Garbage Truck)

Dan , as you know the f350 has a E-brake on the rear of the transmission

Are you saying you lost them totally ?
Or just super hard to turn steering ?
That be a puckered up moment !!

I'm almost done with the cab of my 66. I've got 1 more small patches to put in. I've replaced both floor pans both front cab mounts both cab corners (backside and outside) and replaced the roof. Only have two doors, two front fenders and hood to go. Heck I'm almost done, good thing my bed is in good shape. It only needs a couple small pieces replaced. I don't know how some of you do it when you start out with way worse trucks than I did. Tag, your it!

I splurged and went to a Mexican restaurant last night for dinner with friends. Bad life choice!

I’ve packed everything up that is not immediately needed from the upstairs rooms of the house. Moved it all down to the second living room awaiting my move in day in 12 days.

I hate moving.

The garage is going to suck real bad to move. Thankfully it’s only three miles away.

That's good that you don't have to get far. Moving is at the bottom of the list of things I ever want to do, but despite that I have managed to move about once every year for the last 6 years. And 2 of those moves were 850 miles :bangin:


I finally bit the bullet and ordered an argon tank and the weather is getting nicer. Might actually have some truck updates soon.
My supervisor got promoted. Hopefully I'll move into his spot. Might be able to really get the ball rolling on my truck if that happens...

I feel for anyone who has to move, to me that has to be one of the worst things to do.

I know that a jumper is equivalent to a sweater, and I'm pretty sure thongs in this context are equivalent to sandals, specifically flip-flops, but that's really none of my business. whistle.gif
