60+ year old thread.

I don't imagine it will be too long; when my Tacoma got nailed last year the damage was considerable, and the shop had it done in less than two weeks.

 

Had a good day at the range today. I try to go twice a month. One day I just target practice. The next time I train.Today was a training day. Training consists of shooting 2 handed, then one handed both left and right. Drawing from holster and shooting, drawing and double taps. Shooting while moving to my left and to my right . Shooting from kneeling position. And several other training exercises. Range days have become an enjoyable hobby. (And it keeps me prepared should a situation arise). I go through 700 to 1000+ rounds a month, mostly 9mm. Starting to get a little costly but when it comes to a man’s hobby, damn the costs. Besides the wife gets a break from me.
Here’s one of my targets. This one was at 20’, quick draw and fire, drawing and double taps and draw and rapid fire. Now I’m off to my shop to clean guns and listen to old rock and roll and country. Love being retired and having the time to pursue my hobbies

 

My father's day gift to myself.....
A friend at church knew I was looking for a cap for .y f250. One popped up on Facebook market place. I was going to purchase the current model of this cap and it's $3200 bare bones. The guy was only asking $325, he just wanted it out of his garage. He was helping me take the tonneau cover off my truck and he mentioned he wanted to get one. I said how about a trade? My tonneau and some cash for your cap? He said cool how about the tonneau and $100? I said ill give you $150. I felt guilty and didn't want to take advantage of his generosity. What goes around comes around. So we agreed on the deal, and he helped me put it on my truck. We both got what we wanted.
This is an older model with a flat roof, they don't make it anymore but it's the one I wanted. White cap on a silver truck but I can live with it. I want to be able to set it up for camping but also be able to still use it as a truck. With a flat roof I can put solar panels up there.

 

Looks great. You definitely got a deal, got what you wanted and got a new friend.

 

I think you are correct. The estimate is just north $3,000 and it may be done by Friday.

I have been going to that shop for 50 yrs, I love them. I asked them to give me an estimate on rubbing out a couple scratches I got off roading awhile back. I said I would pay for that. They said the scratches were minor and they would rub them out, no charge.

 

So question, when an ecu gets changed. Does it matter that I lost xm radio?? I lost xm radio recently. I thought it was the radio not the computer.
