You don’t have to accept it, but it SHALL REMAIN! Lol

Whoops, sorry for the multi post there lol #MyBad

Well, just realized I ain’t took a pic of the #HugeDeck all week. I’ll have to correct that on Monday when I’m back on it. We’re getting real close to being done with, I mean real close. Had to order a few pieces/parts to finish the handrails out. Started working on the fascia for the decking on the ramp and gazebo. And then about all that will be left for me is installing the lattice to hide the underside of the deck.

Then I’ll be on to some other project that I’ll have to find. Got one I need to get back to but it’s not an every day project like this one. Got a person that had contacted me last year about some odd projects and at that time I had zero time available so I’ll probably get in touch with them. May have some other projects coming down the line from this same family but likely not until Novemberish.

Where my attention has really been has been my dad’s old truck. Got all the parts and fluids ordered and all to do an engine oil change and filter, transmission fluid drain and fill (not doing trans filter just yet, just want to get some fresh fluid circulating), differential fluid drain and fill, clean the CDR, and then there’s fuel system. So the truck had a little bit of a lurch, me and Evan are pretty confident it’s old fuel. So I dumped a bottle of Lucas upper cylinder lube in the front tank, then I found a new unused bottle of Mercon V atf in my supplies and dumped it in the rear tank, and then split a bottle of ATF +4 between both tanks. Then, yesterday, when I went to oreilly to order my fuel and oil filters, I grabbed a bottle of diesel Kleen and split it between both tanks. Gonna put on a fresh fuel filter this weekend and once I manage to run both fuel tanks empty and get fresh diesel, I’ll put on another fresh fuel filter. After that I’ll probably change them at 5000 miles, along with my oil changes. Oh, and windshield wipers….I swear my dad had something against being able to see through a windshield in rain…lol

Used waze for a while until google bought them, now I just use google maps for the satellite imagery and live traffic/cop reports, if I’m going somewhere on a schedule. Otherwise I use my old garmin from circa 2009 lol

It’s all fun and games until someone loses a nut

This is actually very true. They making money whether people hit the like or dislike, doesn’t matter which one except to the dinglehoppers hitting the dislike. Oh to the days when we just ignored shit we didn’t like lol

I’m just still trying to figure out why a woman would title herself after a male horse….

Update: truck is mine and in my yard. Plotting on a full fluid swap soon (not cheap on diesels lol). Transfer went better than I really expected though she did try a minor version of her usual stunts. Either way, time to get my dad’s favorite truck into tip top shape and start doing some upgrades I know he would have loved. So far I’ve only had a near breakdown twice, once right after I got it to my yard and then once last night after I found the carpenters hatchet and quick fist mount I’d cleaned up for him still behind the seat. I can’t explain to any of y’all just how good of a man he was and how much I miss him. I am as hard shelled as I am because I saw him get taken advantage of because he was just too nice lol
