Re: Truck is just parked
I was starting to get worried about you. Haven't seen anything from you for a while. It doesn't have to be an event to go to. There was a Cobra kit car sitting at Bridgeside Restaurant at Cascade Locks last Thursday when I made a quick trip to Milwaukee and back.

Re: Truck is just parked
I find just driving my 54 to the Post Office or store to be interesting. Don't let the jerks get you down. They want you home, confused, depressed and afraid.

Re: Truck is just parked
I'm in the same boat. I haven't driven anywhere for weeks but I start it up once a week or so.

Re: Truck is just parked
I used mine Saturday am to bring my son and I to get haircuts. I took it out again Saturday evening to go bowling and to the arcade with my daughter.
Now I need to replace the mufflers I installed in 1993. |

Re: Truck is just parked
Its a dreary, foggy day here at the beach but still going out to store and PO in an hour and looking forward to it. Sometimes the hardest part is climbing out of a comfy electric recliner and climbing into the beast. Best part is the honks, waves and thumbs up! Go for a drive!!!

Re: Truck is just parked
Unless it's raining, or I'm fishing, I make myself drive the truck at least twice a week. No matter how short a trip may be.

Re: Truck is just parked
Hogfarm has no short trips. I am not sure that there is even a mini mart there. Next closest town is 5.9 miles and it is a 15 mile run to a real grocery store.

Yep it's a long ways out to get to my house, Appleton is 4-5 miles from my house we have a post office and nothing else. Nearest gas station and small store is 16 miles.to do our shopping we travel 25-30 miles to Safeway,and I love it But the biggest problem I have now is my daughter says I can't put my truck in her garage this winter, so I need to build a new building so every time I go to town it is to go shopping or get building materials,and can't fit that stuff in the 54.And I'm 66 years old,I just can't build this as fast as I did.it will be nice to be able to walk around in my shop,and hope to have the 58 done this winter |

Re: Truck is just parked
My goal this summer was to drive my truck to work at least once a week. I've been on track with that since mid April. Weather has been nice enough so it's been twice a week most times!
