good morning everybody! another day of rain but qe need it

 

happy saturday all

you go to a store and spend a half an hour wandering around and not a single soul asks if you need help..... but when you aren't looking to buy anything, you have at least 3 people ask if you need help

 

Yea I hate when that happens! The other thing that I can't understand is when they ask you if you want a bag or not for multiple items, I would like to reply with--- Does howdy duty have wooden Balls!!!!!

 

Amen to that! Not the same thing but I was grocery shopping today and this lady just struck up a conversation with me at the deli. Chatted about the weather, grandkids etc, very nice women. It's rare today that happens, growing up the county was "smaller" and everybody knew each other. Now a days whenever I offer to help a stranger or try to strike up a conversation I get looks like I just stepped off of a spaceship.

 

I searched the buildups and didnt find much--I just dont wont to break any of the plastic trim while taking it off. Between doing details on the wheels
and interior trim, I gonna be a lit busy--Thanks for your help you guys casper and MQQSE

 

anytime

 

Well I think I have come to a decision, all of the fake bead holes on the rims I will do in blue. Should make the wheel stand
out but not too much. I,m a picky sob,but i like what i like. And dont scratch my shit! lol but true

 

Enjoy your truck!

 

@ work. So what else is new?

Yesterday was fun. Had all the makings of a fun day....275 drive in the pouring rain. Doing work on a friends truck, out doors....in the rain......with no tools.....and a lot of jagged metal. Why NOT fun?

The wife and I drove north about 30 miles to a friends place to help with (read; DO) a job cleaning up the edges of fenders cut bigger on a Jeep XJ. I found him a metal reinforced rubber trim for all the edges. We cut and installed them. Made a rather rough looking vehicle into a job well done in about 1/2 hour. We spent a few minutes afterwards, admiring our work, planning the first off road adventure involving the two of us in about 30 years. There'll be one more addition to the cast of characters, but the show is about to happen! Back in the day we invented "Epic off road trips". Multiple spontaneous over-nighters.....Kegs hid from us.....Probably won't involve (much) of that last part this go-round.

Then on the highway south and east by 100 or so miles....in the pouring rain. went to see daughter and boyfriends "new house" (160 year old "new house") They have their work cut out for them.

Then home.

Now work.

It goes on....

 

Good Morning TW, happy Sunday. Rain here today, yes but it's not snow, so we got that going for us. Enjoy your day.

 

good morning everybody! another rainy day here in va. didn't take the pills that would help me sleep last night and woke feeling much better this moening. that pill would leave me foggy all day. newb13 may we see some pics of your whole truck now please from what we've seen so far it looks good but your quite the tease with the pics. no fishing mike?

 

Good Morning from not so sunny Southern Maryland. Weatherguessers say rain most of the day. Funny it occurred to me last night that the local weatherman was apologizing for the crappy weather this weekend, like he had any control over it!

 

No fishing this week. 6 day work week. I'm beat. Just got up. Kinda gloomy today. I just need to decompress.
Just going to putt around.
One more week and on vacation.... I need it.

 

Yes it does.... Never ending. Always there. You call that fun?? Lol

 

When I drive up to our local Dairy Queen ,I ask for 3 hot fudge Sunday's. I'm all alone. They ask if i want a carrying tray and covers. Like NO. IM GOING TO HOLD THESE MELTING SUNDAYS IM MY HANDS AND DRIVE WITH MY KNEES.........

 

Bit of perspective.
Went to visit a friend that my wife has known all her life, our age, is in the later stages of early onset alzhiemers. She has 3 kids in high school and her stupid husband barely taking care of her. Husband won't let the parents or family help. We have to sneak around to visit her. So sad.


Sorry for a bummer story.

 

damn andy sorry to hear that. i don't understand some people i think i'd want to except any help i could for her and the children's sake. bless you for doing what you can

 

Enjoy the morning All, And have a great day! . I think I'm just going to chill at the beach today.

 

This is so sad.
Maybe it could be a feeling of invasion of their privacy. Coming into their house. Finding things out about their private lives. I know people that don't like anyone ,even family, in their house.
