So it is nice and windy today. Steamboat Springs was just getting 135 mph gusts and had to shut down the mountain. From what I can see outside we are not far off from that here in the valley.

To correct the wind speed I got hearsay. The gusts were around a 100 mph.

A hamcellbspotalkie, chrome gas cap, 15,000,000 watts of lights and truck nutz.:D:sombrero:


Okay really I am thinking DIY4X rear shackle flip, the BDS 4" lift kit, 2wd front brake lines and all new poly bushings for the eyes not covered in the kits.

A pic from the past. One of the toughest trucks I have owned. I regret selling it when I had to move years ago.

I was looking at the old Coke bottling outlet the other day asked the wife if we could buy that and turn some of it into living quarters and keep the rest a shop. She said she would go for that. Now I just need to unload my house.:)

Yep. Next door to Murdoch's too.

Make the living quarters around where the old office was. Make it two stories and put the living/dining room behind the roll up door.

Not till this spring probably on the cook top, it is keeping the shed warm right now.

No that was the test fit to make sure they wouldn't rub. I want them more and more every time I look at the picture.

All the most recent fun. Got back from dropping my son off and found the ice dam on the roof melted into the house.
