I'll second that - has to be rough having to tolerate that kind of scenery all the time.

The new seats are so nice, makes the ride nice and yes that place is very nice but one hour from town but no nosey neighbors, Years ago some rainbow neighbors walked in Bobs shop here and wanted him to sign a paper to stop new houses behind us from being built, when he ask them where they lived they replied across the street from us in other new homes, I never seen Bob loose his cool, he replied we never said anything when your shitbox homes were built and to mind their own business and get the f!@# out of his shop, very bad thing to piss him espically when he drinking!

Car weather coming again
That's why we don't call it Massachusetts we call it Taxachusetts . I have to pay $100 a year just for the plates because I have to run Com. plates on the Ramcharger because I plow with it dureing the winter . If I get caught plowing with regular plates the boy's in blue could give me a $5000 ticket and tow the truck If they wanted too . That's why I get pissed off at all the local plow jockeys that don't have any experience , aren't reg. or insured properly going around undercutting me and giving plow drivers a bad name when they destroy peoples property ..... Ok , That turned into kind of a rant . Sorry about that .
That's one Hellava back yard ! I could be happy there .
Your killing me Cindy .

Bear That snow and cold weather is crazy, I am a warm weather person being from San Diego, this is our weather forcast, today taking one of our old trucks north to Seattle area to visit a casino, hope I have better luck than last friday
Your telling me Cindy ! It should be around 50/60 degrees steady this time of year right now .
Instead it's 27 right now with a high of 34 today with wind chill's in the teens . I never minded the cold before but I've grown to hate it in my old age . Have a safe trip and good luck at the casino . Remember us if you strike the big one !

I hear ya on those temps. We're in the same boat here. Just won't seem to warm up. Got a couple inches of more snow today and possibly more tonight and tomorrow. Suppose to sit around the 32-37 degree range here for another week.
I am soooooo done with this winter !

The stupid weather reports! Sleet mixd ith rain or snow, rain, warm cold dogs cats chickens and bears! Its colder than I hoped and enough rain to slow things down, and no car out yet. Giving it an oil change and swap the plugs. It's coming out in the next 2 days. I don't care. Done with this crap, bring on spring!

Driving up to Seattle yesterday the old 55 chevs alternator stop charging, found a parts store and Bob changed it and back on the road seen the Uncle Sam sign.

That must have been hard to get to! "let's see, hiding under plastic engine cover, nope, there it is, right in the open! Nut for wire, but for other wire, bolt 1, bolt 2, out with old in with new. Bolt 2, bolt 1, but for wire, but for other wire, done!"
Probably took me longer to type that out that it did to swap the alternator

Yes your correct, when I asked him when he was going to change it he replied its done. I do believe that's why we have old rigs. 80 plus degrees today in Vancouver Wa.

STOP! It's in the 40's and raining. And I'm going to put sand in a sandbox for the granddaughters.
Yeah , Remember when all cars where that easy to work on . I had a guy pull in my driveway one day with an ole Plymouth . He said he had just had to get a jump start up the street at the donut shop and the guy that jumped him said to bring it up the street to the guy with all the old Dodge's in the yard on the left ( Me ) and he'd be able to tell him what's wrong with his car . So I gave it a quick check and figured out it was the alternator . I had one in stock along with an old style regulator ( both new in the box's ) . It took me about ten minute's to find out what was wrong and get it fixed . When I said " That's it your done, It's fixed " , He stood there with a shocked look on his face and asked me if I would be his regular mechanic from now on . I just laughed and said "sure" . And he said , "But you don't understand , If this had been the garage I normally send this to , It would have been there all day , maybe more and the price would have been at least four times what you just charged me " . I just laughed and told him to bring it by anytime .
