Evening Everyone !!!

 

Upside of Katrina is that Busch started a revamping of the agency to make it work better.
Talked to a guy on the west side of Houston today that was on his way with a load.

 

Good training though.

 

@Chile Verde

If you're headed on the 15fwy thru the Mojave Desert it's really windy up here today , also reduced visability from blowing dust

 

I think I’ve got the only heeler in existence that doesn’t like to ride. She rides good, she sits or stands and doesn’t move. At all. You can tell she just don’t dig it.

 

Nah. I’m in Texas. Just finished a plate of BBQ and getting ready to hit it again. Wanted to be in Laredo tonight, but they didn’t get my load ready in time for me to do it, so I’ll be there tomorrow morning.

MIDWAY IS ON !!

 

So little bright spot here, Amanda and I were spot picking the honey crisp tree and finished up. She started picking our romas when in flew a big beautiful cardinal chirping away. He jumped into our grape arbor continuing to chirp and then flew to the neighbors pine trees. I believe a visitor from Heaven after the last several days we had....awesome.

Good evening folks. Got today's project done and tomorrow's recon, so going to get some more mining stuff knocked out then take the weekend off. I'd like to say 4/10's but today was an 11 as well as yesterday. But at least I can take 3 days off.

 

Oh Heck yeah

 

So yesterday I finally got the front end of the truck back together. I wasn't completely happy so I took it back apart and tweaked a couple of things and put it all back together again. While I like a good looking truck I have made myself concentrate more on function over form but i couldn't resist this.

Before:



After:




Some will like it some won't but I did it for me and I'm pleased. It's a pretty damn good match at least as close as you can get for tintable bedliner.

@CVYota Not only did I do the frame reinforcements


I finally installed the frame tie in brackets. They don't exactly look like they did when you sent them though they are gussetted top and bottom and have 2 vertical gussetts



Yeah I know not much thread showing on the top stud I had to shim the bumper to get it to line up decent. All the hardware is upgraded to 1/2" grade 8. All I need now is a winch and i'll add an internal cross brace from frame to frame.
