50+ thread

andy i'm interested to hear your input on the soft topper also. could you please clarify sponsorship by a local vendor i would need a selling point for that

 

not a whole lot of bs here and what there is is fun. alot of support all the way around. being negative never helps anyway. dr apt leaving shortly wonder what he's going to say about shoulder guess i'll see

 

Hey Mike,
Had it for 5 years now, and it is holding up well. Being in a drier climate I have little rain to deal with but when it rains I have no leaks. It can be folded down in 5 min. Years of sun exposure and dusty trails, going through brush and freezing temps and it still is in great shape. It is lighter than a hard top and half the price.
I use it for camping and store all my parts for work, it is my daily driver and I am in the worst parts of town, no one has taken anything out of it yet....but it is not secure by any means.
It doesn't match up to the back of the cab, there is a gap, but I still like the look. You have to use a double stick tape to hold down the snap rails to the bed rails and that stays on the truck. Zero issues with snaps and zipper BUT the velcro on the back flap isnt working, i am using magents to hold the flap down. I have heard the company will replace just the back flap, I might have to do that as the windows now have a yellow tint.

Have you looked at the soft topper thread?

Is there a local 4wd store or any vendor in your area?

 

where we will have the meeting is not my local area i think there is but will have to look into it further. i have no intentions of trying to run this group and have told them so trying to encourage them to do it themselves and just help where i can. thanks andy off to dr

 

Alright, gl

 

Morning from another shadow watcher. I get the day off as things are slow again. I'm thinking it's time to change shops.

 

bs they look great

 

closest i know of is mobtown in maryland idk how far away but worth checking in to great idea i live far enough away from all these people it's not the easiest for me to organize maybe once i get to know some better

 

Just finished Dr's Appt:

20/20 vision, both eyes. My ophthalmologist removed the cataracts, corrected my distance vision AND made some magical surgical adjustments to correct some minor astigmatism. Damn, I wasn't expecting it to be this successful.

 

Step out of the Dark Shadows Barnaby. Always good to have a plan B

Glad to hear it went well, seems like a pretty routine proceedure now.

 

Yeah. Surgery was the discussion topic last year. Doc said wait it out. I did, until it was pretty cloudy on my left eye. Then it was a go...

 

Great news!

 

85 yesterday...55 degrees right now. Jeeze.
At least we set some poles in the ground before it started raining today.

 

sunny 72 no humidity beautiful if you work around the 30 mph wing gusts

 

"Drop your pants and bend over" ?

 

afternoon folks

Hope all the dr appt's went well, with good news. for being able to see i need to go to the eye doc... vision is getting fuzzy.

You'll get better Mike, the more furniture you make. I like your table, but you said you weren't good enough

welcome to the newbs

 

he said i'm just about where i ought to be at this point i think my sugar still being too high is holding things up a little. he said we have quite a bit of strengthening to do yet though i just am getting to where i can lift that arm above my head with nothing in my hand thanks for asking

 

Last year my doc didn't even give me a chance to bend over. I was taking a deep breath and mentally preparing for it. Then she snuck it in.

I was kinda relieved she did it that way...

... didn't give me a good chance to tighten up the sphincters.
