Have not done a whole lot of work on the truck lately. Have been working on roads, fences, shredding and all the other stuff it takes to keep up the place. I did install new back window and windshield and repaint the dash in the truck. My first time installing the glass in any vehicle. Scary but it worked out good and I did not break either one. Took the bed back off again as I need to cut down a channel under the bed to clear the gas lines. Got all the gauges working except for the speedometer. I need to drive a measured mile to calibrate it. Still trying to refine my painting abilities so it only looks good at 50 ft. Getting better but still a ways to go. Still have the doors, hood and tailgate to do. Feb. will be a year since I started and I am thinking if everything goes good probably by this time next year I will be on the road.

I understand completely all the work involved with taking care of big acreage.

In spite of all that you are still moving way faster than 99% of people would.

Looking great! up

Have not done much on the truck lately. Did get mufflers and shocks installed. Still some wiring to clean up. Working on the roads here. That never ends.

When you are young it is a playground, When you get old it is just more work.

Maybe I'm full of it, but I firmly believe in labors of love. That makes it fun to me too.

Got the parking-emergency brakes hooked up. Not show quality but they work. Putting the bed on for the third and I hope last time. Could not find any help so I used the backhoe. Good thing about it is that it doesn't talk and tell me how I am screwing up.

Enough of the first two, and you eventually obtain the second two.
