Re: My Facetruck thread.
My favorite song he's done.
Boy, the fall colors this year seem better than I've seen in a while. Full color, like everything changed at the same time. And just more color. I've been torn between get into the mountains one of the best times of the year and getting all the work done I can on my place. I keep choosing work. I hope to not be having the same decision to make by next year. But then it will be go have fun or work on trucks and the bike. Right now those are all pushed back. I'm finishing up exterior work involving paint now. Then it's replace a section of roof and a bunch of inside stuff, some bigger stuff and a lot of little stuff. I will still have more to do on the house next year, but hopefully getting close to done. It didn't help that I decided to put up a carport for the '72. I couldn't stand letting it sit out another year. It will be an amenity that adds some value to the place when I sell, so not a total diversion. It's turning into a garage now

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I hear ya Tim. I've pushed back too many things myself. I've passed up a few car shows the past couple of years due to work and home chores. I've been fishin twice in two years. I am totally burned out. I have been too committed to the company for 28 years and missed out on so many things for my family and me. That's on me. Too young to retire and too tired to keep going the way I am.
I keep waiting for a good day to dig into something and.... I'm still waiting. I've had the metal for my shop roof for a couple of months now. When I bought it it was still too hot and I don't want to start it and it drag out weekend after weekend. Now with fall upon us it's getting nicer out. Nope. Not this weekend either. We've got 3 days of rain. The colors are turning nicely. Maybe all the rain we've had this year has made them brighter. My grass is all brown now. I guess I can safely drain the mowers gas and put them away for the year. Ah, some other weekend. It's raining...

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I'll probably mow another time or two. Now that there's been some rain it's growing pretty good. No killer frost here yet.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
EDIT: Hey Other Larry, I made a boo-boo. I thought I hit the quote button to make this post. It didn't show after I was done. Then I found my post. We staffers have an "edit" button in everybody's posts and I hit that instead of "quote". Didn't mean to destroy the text in your post above. Oops? heh heh? Care to restore it? I could, "My buddy found us some good digs over this store. We had the abandoned game room to keep our machines. The store was run by six sisters. Not Hatfield or McCoy, though. They had a name I'm not familiar with from around my parts, Nympho. Hmmm... sounds Polish.
I was afraid that would happen. No worries, I can deal with it. Were there many others on the trails, more like you had the place to yourselves, or what? What's the town's name and do you know the population? Were there many places to eat and be merry or pretty minimal small town in the hills sparse? I am being serious, although it might look like a sarcastic request for a school report (What percentage of the population are of Lithuanian descent? )

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Our digs were in Gilbert, WV Pop. 450. The National Trailfest was held the week before we got there so they had cleared out. The trails were really quiet until last Thursday and people started rolling in. Thursday night was the busiest we had seen it.
There is no place to have a drink except the campground and BBQ joint up on the mountain above Gilbert, but it is right on the trail coming in, so no problem. They welcome riders with open arms. The coal industry is leaving a void in the economy that the riders help fill. Off road machines are allowed to ride the public highways pretty much anywhere. It was 811 miles from there to home and we drove it all the way Saturday.

English, Scot/Irish, German, just like here, and they all spoke redneck, just like me, so we were all happy.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Yep, just the little old Mississippi River valley between you. I think you'd feel at home in Western MD. Friendsville is about the same population

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Mississippi River. If you ever get a chance, cross the twin bridges at the conflux of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers' at Cairo, IL. I never get tired of that view.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
You mentioned that before... so I believe it must truly be a thing to see. I have very little experience with either river. Just crossing over on the interstate. They are both mighty rivers combining into one. That confluence has got to be a powerful place. I'd like to one day run the length of the Mississippi by road, exploring that land and towns. The same with the Ohio River.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
one of my boy's touchdown runs last night
and if he looks a little big, he's barely old enough for 3rd grade playing in the 3/4 grade level one of my daughter's goals this morning

Re: My Facetruck thread.
I stopped in on a buddy yesterday I hadn't seen in a while. He invited me to cut firewood on his girlfriend's place tomorrow. News to my ears. I hadn't cut a stick, have virtually nothing, and no real place to cut this year. Can't wish winter away and I need my wood heat! So it's a plus.
Oh, and since this is Facetruck, I had pizza tonight. Sorry, no pictures. I was hungry

Re: My Facetruck thread.
EDIT:
I did not post the duplicate post that was showing here before I deleted it just now. It seems myself and Dale have been selected as part of some sort of experiment conducted by those people we all hear talking in the back of our heads telling us each and every move to make. You know the ones I'm talking about, right? Sometimes when I don't listen they just go ahead and make me do things anyway. Looks like it's time we had another little talk. Third one this week!

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Are your meds causing you to stutter Tim?
I had a bowl of oatmeal. No picture either.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Enjoy them while they are that age Killer. It will pass with the speed of light.
My granddaughter will be 15 in February. She used to cry to go with me, now she don't have time to talk to me. I have her truck in the shop, hoping I can entice her to hang around me.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
That's just the way it is Larry for kids that age. Once she gets some wheels under her she'll have even less time for ya. On a positive note, maybe she has picked up some mechanical ability by watching you over the years.
Since my daughter moved to Louisiana she has done some wrenching on her Avy. Been doing brakes and suspension work on it. As long as she was home she had me to do whatever needed repairing or servicing. She's accumulating some tools and books and of course she uses her "google" to help her. I am proud she is willing to tackle some vehicle maintenance. Oh and she is 32 and was paying more attention to what I was doing than I realized.

Re: My Facetruck thread.
Oh and no oatmeal for me. I'm thinking bout having some Kracker Barrel Extra Sharp cheese, summer sausage and Ritz crackers. With a cold Bud light! Yeah, that's the ticket.
