60+ year old thread.

WFH Day. All day.

Supposed to be 83°F Saturday. That would tie the record I think.

I wish it was flurries, Ken!! 3-5" is what WNEP was predicting this morning for us up here. Ugh.

I got the OEM Bed Step today - took about 20 minutes to install it. I like it.

 

Evening all:

 

Oh yea.

We call them the old man step accessory..

Lot better than that dam removable handle the ford had years ago.
Best part of those is they tuck up real well.
Nice job

 

Beautiful sunny 95 degrees (no humidity) here in Elk Grove California. It’s defInitely a pool day. Followed by grilled hamburgers, potato salad and icy cold Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Over 60 and retired, life is good.

 

That’s what I call mine! Absolutely fabulous for anyone over “a certain age.” I got mine from AMP. Glad to see Toyota offering them.

 

I just use my tow hitch

They make them for '08's?

 

Yea you can get them for 8’s.
May not be factory but I have seen them advertised for all year second gen.

 

Good morning, everyone. Most of the day is supposed to be nice until we have May Snowmageddon overnight into tomorrow morning.

Be safe out there!!

 

I've seen several versions of the step, and used a friend's a couple times. Until I need one, I'll continue to use the rear tire. For me, it's a very stable way to enter and exit the bed, even with a gas pump nozzle in one hand.

I had a bed step on my ‘06 and put one on my ‘19 as soon as I got it. Bad 68 year old knees find it very useful. I got mine from Amp. By the way, hi all. Been lurking for a while. I enjoy the conversations.

 

Welcome to the porch Billimich. Life is good when you hit 60 . Enjoy the thread.

 

On late today, babysitting the Grand dog Angus. He had surgery on his ankle yesterday and the kids are working so he is spending a few days with the grand folks. Family room is a bit upside down trying to make it easy for him.

 

May 8 and snowflakes are swirling here in S.E. Michigan. Pandemic, claustrophobia, late cold weather, assault rifles in the state capitol........ The view from the porch is unsettling. Just need to stay calm and carry on. I pulled out my circa 1985 Wards sewing machine and made a few face masks.

 

Calm down. We can ship you some of these bad girls:

 

Welcome to the porch!!

 

welcome

Poor Angus. Hope he recovers fast. Give him a biscuit from me

 

Evening all:
Hmmm, looks like they extended the stay at home order for almost all of Eastern PA until July 4, I got news for our governor, it aint working as planned!
People pretty well need to go food shopping, put gas in cars, handle mail, etc., which means anyone can get cross contaminated while just doing basic things.
Looks like the only way to stop the spread is social distancing and don't touch anything, which is nearly impossible. I do agree with everyone having to wear a mask when around others, but now they are even saying that people that never left their home because of being hi risk are testing positive.
Found a breakdown by zip code, looks like there are 20 "KNOWN" cases in and around our town, and close to 200 for the county with a population of around 66,000, and it aint over yet!

Hope Angus heals up and is good as new Ken, with a little help critters can be quite resilient.

Welcome billimich!
