Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Oh No! He was a great guy!

I remember you. Great that you found us. Jim ended up buying my old truck and converting it to a stick.

 

Once I'm up, I can't go back to bed. Popped a couple Tylenol. Going to spend the day cleaning the house.

 

@timw1 - BTW, something really important to do to your new truck before the winter is to spray the frame (pay attention to the inside of the boxed section near the converters and from cab mounts) with a rust inhibitor of your choice. I used Amsoil HD Metal Protect. Others use Cosmoline, woolwax or Fluid Film. These trucks have frames that rust away if you don’t protect them with an oil or waxy type film.

 

Yes, the red one. I think he also changed it back to an auto a few years later.

 

I have black Cosmoline arriving in the mail today. What is the "boxed section?"

 

Welcome!

Boxed section of the frame is in the front, from around under the front doors forward. The rest is a c channel frame. The boxed section is by the cats, and is one of the main areas of frame rot on these trucks. I use an extension wand/sprayer to get in there.

 

Thanks Mike!

 

The one he bought from me was green and silver.

 

Take it easy, there's something going around. I've been sick since Sunday

 

Yep, no shit.
Got mine over the weekend.
Non-covid,snotted head, fever, death rattle in lungs...that shit.
Thanks to modern medicine, I just got done cutting the lawn.

Two passes with those Gator Blades made short work of thousands of Chestnuts. Just don't walk around there with bare feet.

If I feel up to it, I'll try to kill a deer by the end of the week.

 

BTW, those are eatin Chestnuts.
Got a couple hundred for myself.

 

Welcome aboard

 

Just ran into one of my neighbors. He said a couple guys were trying to get into cars in our apartments last night. Someone called the police. One had had a bag stolen out of a car.

 

Dis-fucking-like.

People suck, period.

 

Be real careful approaching the car thief's, most are carrying guns that they have found in careless gun owners cars.

 

I've watched enough on TV to know what to avoid. If I see something, I'll call the cops but probably won't even go outside.

 

Something is going around. The old lady is sick, I can feel like I'm fighting something. Time to hit the vitamins.

Also car thief's is the second reason for the dash cam

 

Only 1 ton? We used to buy 3 tons a season, but that was for a big 5/5.

 

Speaking of stolen vehicles...
