It's been a long time since I've posted any updates on my T100, or really even done anything of note on this board. I have some sad news from 2018 and grand plans for 2019 to share before I try and get back on track.
To begin with, many of you may be familiar with the Tubbs Fire that ravaged much of northwestern Napa and northeast Sonoma counties. Well, my folks' ranch was right in the path of the blaze. To this day, I believe that they're some of the most fortunate people I know: they were alerted to the blaze by my cat and were able to evacuate in time. Moreso, when the fires reached the house the they swept through the canyons surrounding it and left their home and possessions intact. Their losses totaled one wood shed and the fire control tank. Like I said, some of the luckiest people I know to come out of the 2017 wildfire season.
Unfortunately the interior parts, fuel tank, hvac gear, and stashed parts of my 1983 Toyota 4x4 project truck were in that wood shed, and the bed was on sawhorses next to it, effectively cutting the truck in half and gutting it.
Afterwards, my folks decided that they wanted to move out
now and needed the front half of my truck gone
yesterday. I tried what I could, but I just don't make much money keeping it was out of the cards, so after about six months of trying to come up with a plan, I gave it back to Larry Kitahara of Yodaman and took some time to focus on the horizon.
It was sad, but I'm really excited about what I have in the works because this past December a 6-lug DANA 44 followed me home and I decided that I could keep it. Because this T100 is gonna become a 4x4.
Keep posted, because this is going to be a wild ride.
"No time left to eulogize
Yesterday can take care of yesterday
Let's raise our sails to the skies
Diving headfirst back into the fray
Set your cadence to a different drum
Set your sites on the horizon."
