Since last time... I replaced the seat bottom on my Tahoe. I redid the headliner and changed the pump/rack in my Silverado. I took the bed and rear bumper off of my 4wd GMC. Going to replace a crossmember and brake lines while it is apart. (Rusty truck from NH) Cab corners and rocker panel replacement next. Cab corners are nice, but I have to cut them off to get at the rockers. Dreading that job...

Washed and waxed my truck. Re-installed the pro comp alloy wheels. Then I drove it with a big smile on my face.

Got the frame repairs almost finished. Having to replace the fuel lines and pump assembly too. More money that I did not want to spend.

Nope, it is from New Hampshire originally. I bought it cheap to part out, but it runs so good and the interior is so nice - I couldn't bring myself to cut it up.

I have been on vacation this week, using the time to do an engine/transmission swap in my father's truck for him. Close to done, but running out of time.

Been pecking at the GMC in my spare time... replaced all brake lines, rotors & calipers, master cylinder. New fuel lines, pump assembly, and filler neck. New spark plugs yesterday, it fired right up and ran smooth as silk. Going to dive into the rockers and cab corners this week coming. (I am on "vacation" the 10th - 16th) Might as well get it done....

Ain't done nothing. Weather here has sucked. 80 degrees last weekend, in the 20's over night last night. Once we get some nice weather, for more than 1 day, I guess I'll try to get the boat running. Hasn't been run in years but our daughter lives on a lake. I can put it in there and use when I want.

I hear you. I bought begonias today because the frost over the last 2 days killed them. I haven't started my boat either.

Boat dock isnt in and the river is still flooded.

Last year by now I blew up the boats motor and was putting in the warentee motor by now.
