What are you doing today?

Tony, my table is one of the most useful tools I own. I wish I would have bought the high lift version when I bought mine about 6 years ago. I bought mine from recommendations on this forum.

good news, they found a tear in the frame rail up near a crossmember just on the visual inspection.  The insurance company involved has a policy of not replacing frames so there is no reason to look any further or setup and measure.  They will cut me a check asap to get me out of the rental to reduce their expense.  I sent in the order today for the new F350 Lariat.

Hopefully your medical is not much of an argument...  I look forward to seeing your F350 truck...  A dual or single rear wheel.... seems like you said dually?

I sold the 52 last night and am getting ready to leave for Huntsville Al area Tues to deliver it. I'm going to find out a little sooner than expected how the new (to me) diesel dually does for mileage hauling the trailer

Jack, you're in for quite a trip. If you're into motorcycles at all, you might consider a side trip to the Barber Motorsports Museum at Birmingham Alabama. I expect a good story when you return.

I'll second the Barber museum. It's amazing!

[phat rat]

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not into bikes and I'll be 100 mi north of there. I'm going down Tues and coming back on Wed. Well coming back Wed is the plan right now but you never know

Here is what I did yesterday.



After just shy of 33 years it was time to go. Lots of changes over the years some good, a lot not so much. I'll need to find another job sooner then later but not right away.

Best wishes, Jim. 33 years at one job is an accomplishment.

So are you retiring, or just changing jobs?

[Crosley.In.AZ]

I'm hoping Jim is fully vested in his union retirement plan .

All I did this weekend was some yard work, litle work on vehicles, went to a swap meet sunday morning.

I may take a break from swap meets again. For About 4 yrs I did not visit any auto type swap meets. Couple yrs ago I started back in on swap meets.  Usually a few deals to be had, Some reasonable prices on some parts.  most items way over priced for condition they are in.

Looked at a early round body Ranchero this morning. Ruff is a term to use.  Engine non operational - apart..  Every inch on the vehicle was banged, surface rust to rust-rust. Glass? Interior remanants. Grill? Headlites?   It did have a title per the sign on it..  $1500.00 , I guess that is a starting place for price. I will not touch a vehicle any more unless it has a proper title.

Yes, DRW, crew cab, 4x2, Charcoal Gray, Lariat, black interior, leather.  I did not intend to buy a lariat but I cant pass up the package price and all the add ons that come with it.  I really look forward to having the back up camera, its mounted in the tailgate handle and you can see the trailer ball.
