60+ year old thread.

Put some extra d rings on the bed bolts and then you'll have a good solid place to tie the bike rack to

 

for spending time with the grand

island dragway great meadows nj this weekend .track yearly anniversary with don garlets as it is the track he broke the 200mph mark http://www.islanddragway.com/

 

it was 100 with 64% humidity here today till the rain came and tem dropped to 74 with 46%.

770 hp for the dodge right now

new ford f350 got keyed in the shop right parking lot today along with 4 other cars, going by the police body shop estimate is 3,000 bucks to repaint head lamp to tail lamp. 1 fender 2 doors and the bed. no way to buff it out right down into the bare metal. gut feeling is drugged up kids getting their rocks off

 

Best reason for having kids of your own(if only they were born old enough to give you Grandkids right away)...was at one Grandsons Baseball game last night had my other Grandson today and played Xbox Call to Duty...of course he won(and I tried my damndest to beat him...) but enjoyed the day. Glad yours went good Mike. Looks like he was having fun with his Grandpop

 

Man oh man Charlie; what's that old saying: If it weren't for your bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.
Maby not even drugged up kids, just some A-holes who just have no respect for other peoples property.
Years ago I had a keyjob done at a local fair. One or more "DUH'S", keyed every Ford truck in the parking lot. Take your pick: IDIOT, MORON, IMBACILE.
Seems there's no shortage of them in todays world.
Hang in there!!!!

 

Morning all...I would love to catch some asshole keying a persons vehicle and key his ass. "well officer I asked him to stop and when he turned on me I was just defending myself..." sorry to hear about the damage Charlie..
It would be nice to just catch these assholes and turn them over to the people whose vehicles they damaged cause you know their parents won't do anything to them.

It rained a lot last night, but the thunder and lightning were the worst I've seen in a long time. Quite the light show. How'd you make out Carl, know you got some of it.
How you making out with the hurricane weather down your way Jim?

 

x2

Damn that sucks Charlie. Sorry ass societal values we have developing ...

Morning Ken

Hope all dealing with bad weather are faring well.

 

sick of living in a farm field here for sure, the key job on the truck, I wasn't alone they got 4 cars around the same time ,each one a brand new one, so new most all still had temp tags personally think drugged up teens out for kicks,

rain was bad here also yet my rain gauge only shows 1/2 inch

 

Sorry about the truck Charlie. Some people need to ruin new things of others.
They can't stand to see something nicer then they have, or don't have.

 

Morning all:
Looks like the storms went around us last night. Heard a couple rumbles of thunder, but don't think it even rained here.

 

X2 Charlie

 

X3. It's a shame people even think that way. But I don't think there's anything new about cars being keyed, or about people being stupid enough to do stuff like that; I've been hearing about cars being keyed for most of my adult years. Before that it was sugar in the gas tank and other similar mindless destruction. I don't understand it and I think I'm glad I don't.

We had some rain here in the Kutztown PA area last night but nothing too horrible. Lots of noise though. We're supposed to get up to 2" of rain around here today.

 

think your right mike. some people just because they don't have new have to make life hard on those who can afford, i'll get into the paint booth Monday and redo the side, thankful black blends easy,

wish every one a happy 4th, going to try to get some fishing in, trailering the big one south to long beach island tonight, hoping Arthur keeps heading out to sea so we can hopefully get get some nice blue fishing in, other wise the bay is big and long. full of blues and flounder in the channels close to the inlet.
diesel fuel off road at the marina $4.15 a gal ouch!!
john is home for the next week, he did some fishing in our local lake 45 inch muskie 4 very nice walleyes.

 

Sorry for the damage Charlie. Life can suck at times.

 

I guess the positive side is at least you have the skills and equipment to fix it. Can't fix the devils that do that stuff, not worth your time when you could be fishing, driving, riding, or playing.

Hope the weather cooperates and you have a great 4th weekend.

Hiya Tom. How's the vacation going?

Happy and safe 4th weekend to you all!

 

Vacation is going great. Took the day and did Acadia today with the camera and not the cell. Pics will have to wait till I get home.

 

Sorry about the damage Charlie... people really suck

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th

 

Glad ya'll are having a great time. We can wait for good pics when you get back. Keep having fun and stay safe.
