I generally don't go looking for things that could kill me!!! However if I do ever run across Bigfoot I'll give him your regards! As far as the money stealing, tree hugging, whiney, small minded liberals go,,,,we've about had our fill of them. The smart ones are starting to keep their distance. I can't believe your selling your 70!! Or at least trying to. Just remember what you had to go through to get a straight one like that. Maybe you'll have a change of heart. Merry Christmas my friend.

I hear ya on the Liberals I have them in my family. I tossed the Idea of selling the 70 or trading it. With the snow and cold I took the CL add down till spring things might change by then.

Well I'll keep my fingers crossed!!!

Well I did manage to get a little time in on the truck over the holiday season,,mostly tying up a lot of little loose ends on the cab. Also got the left inner fender almost done and some work to the core support. I'll have some more pics soon.

I just saw you got skunked on your hunt. I went first season and had the same luck. Went antlerless 2 weeks ago and we saw one deer. My brother in law got it and gave it to me. It was a 2yr old doe. Better than nothing. All the deer we saw were small except a couple of huge bucks. But they're always way too far away and on some one else's land. How much do you have left on your truck?

Yeah,,,it's like this,,, my elk hunt screwed up my deer hunt!!! I could have shot several really nice whitetails, earlier in the season,,, but I was trying to get an elk. By the time elk season was over (got skunked on that too!!) the deer were no where to be found!! OH well, there's always next year!!

As far as the truck goes,,,, see the following post!

[fakerwade]

I recently lost my job,,, which means I lost my place to work on the truck also. Don't freak out just yet,,,I got a new job the next day,,,and a friend of mine is going to let me use part of his garage to work on Tangerine. I'm still pretty dis-organized right now so bear with me while I get re-organized for more fun and excitement.

Here's some pics of the new digs.

[FrankieD]

Yeah your right, having the hoist was definitely a plus! I'm planing on shortening the bed. By the way ,,,,nice truck!

Thanks my friend!! I think things will work out well. I was getting pretty tired of having to move that thing into the shop every time I wanted to work on it. This will be nice.

So true! It would really suck just trying to get by on un-employment. Thanks for the support!

Just checking in.

How is the new job going?

The new shop space working out for you?

Hope you can make it up for Good Guys again this year. Aug 16-18th this year. Man I can't believe that is less than 3 months away already.

I have been really busy at work & home and haven't had any time to work on my vehicles at all until just recently. Need to get some stuff done so I have a toy to drive again. It's been far too long.

Hey Mike, good to hear from you. The new job is chewing up a lot of my time while I try to get up to speed on this product line. I put my house up for sale too so that chews up a lot of time also.

The new shop doesn't have an air compressor, and that's pretty much put the project on hold for now. After the house sales and I work out some other personnel issues I'll either put a compressor in the shop or move to another shop.

I'll definitely be coming back for Good Guy's. Lets get together and check it out.
