What did you get done this weekend? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 05-03-2004, 08:44 AM

Since the site was down for updates I didn't get to post last night. Here's the Monday morning edition of the Sunday evening subject. What did you get done this weekend?

I was on call again this weekend so I didn't get much of a chance to work on my truck. Saturday it rained all day, and I drove around town working. Sunday after church, I went and bought shrubs for my back yard. I planted and pruned till dark.

About the time I was going to get started on my 77, I got another service call....

Not very "truck" productive this weekend....

Washed and waxed the truck up real nice and went a cruised.

Oh, and I met CaptKaos and Low87on20s.

Went and bought everything I need to swap out trannys ....
Getting ready to go outside and try and get it knocked out today...

Went to a small show in Royse City on Saturday and had a nice 3 hour drive home that should have taken 50 minutes.

It was worth it thought the wife got First Place in her class and got this trophy:

Here are some pics:

Drove my truck all weekend, even in the rain (seem to have overcome that problem). I doubled my workload Saturday evening, I'll give details on that tomorrow. Sunday I worked in my dad's warehouse for a bit putting an order together for him. Took the dogs to the park, then came home & mowed while my wife moved our mandevilla into a nicer pot near our trellis. Cleaned out 1/4 of the garage until bedtime.

I went to Pigeon Forge TN to the truck show. We had a great time. I spent most of the time crusing(i.e. Marketing the possible sale of my truck). I met Bagged81 on Friday evening while crusing. I hooked back up with him on Saturday afternoon while waiting to meet CaptKaos. I finally met CaptKaos and we talked for about 20 minutes before his lady friends said that he had to go back to Alabama. It was great meeting both of you guys!

I didn't sell the truck, but ofcourse I set the price a little on the high side. I did leave the truck at my father in-laws house because he has two persons that want to take a look at it. If it doesn't sell, we will begin all the body work and paint it.

Here's a pic of Bagged81 and me parked on the side of the road watching people cruise.

I pulled the carpet out of my 87, and powerwashed it within an inch of it's life. I don't guess I need to replace it after all. I also got to thinking maybe I need to redo the seat in Leather instead of the factory cloth, and get the door inserts covered in leather as well. I also hooked up the box for my satellite radio, just need to mount the antenna. I cleaned up the Mach 1, and my 87 IROC convertible as well. Trying to get it ready to sell. Pretty busy day.

Weather stunk so not much. Both the GM's are actually doing good right now. Both are running sweet. The burb needs a wax and they both need to be washed is the most pressing stuff on them right now.

Wife went to the store in the Burb Thursday and as she is closing the door the mirror glass fell out. She "Forgot" to tell me about it for two day's. I noticed it gone on Saturday. $4.99 and it's fixed. I don't care that it happend just tell me so I can fix it.

I HATE "forgot". She does that all the time with the vehicles. One of these "forgot"s is going to cost us a motor one day.

One time I hopped in it and the brakes are squealing like all hell. It was bad enough that it needed to be parked till it was addressed. Ask about it..."Forgot".

How long? "about 2 weeks." Set of disc rotors later.

This is why I make it a point to rotate cars now so that I get some seat time in all of them and don't find any "Forgots".
