Maybe this helps a little.

Ron's original directions with a couple of enhancements: To get to J&Js coming up 985N take exit 24 (Hwy 129, Jesse Jewell Parkway) turn LEFT at the forth light (0.6 miles), take a RIGHT (Limestone parkway) Go 1.4 miles north, look for advance auto parts on the right, just after advance (a few...

I just spoke to the nice people at the Hall County Animal Shelter, and the Touch a Truck event is confirmed for Sunday, May 19 from noon 'till 4:00. The location is Laurel Park off of Brown's Bridge Rd. I'll find a map and post it, but if you look a few posts back you'll see Ron's original...

I think we should stick with Ron's original plan to meet at J&J Foods at 10:30 Sunday morning. Look a few posts back for the details on how to get there. I'll call the Gainesville Parks department tomorrow for confirmation that the event will still be held on the 19th. Unless something goes...

Hey, those seats are still in the box. Between working 16 hours a day, rain, and trying to keep the grass and weeds under control here, I haven't had a chance to start that project. So, you're safe for now!

I scrambled around Wednesday evening and cleaned the diesel soot from my mirror frame and mirrors, and re-prepped and painted the muffler and stack. On Thursday evening I cleaned and polished all of the glass and checked the fluids and belts in preparation for the Gainesville Touch-a-Truck...

Ron, I got your message earlier about the event being postponed for weather. Let us know when they reschedule.

And it was a funny joke. I'm not in favor of being destructive to the environment but some Prius drivers get a little self righteous about it. Never mind that the Prius is actually coal powered and loaded with toxic batteries that will eventually be disposed of somehow. They'll probably ship...

Here's a couple of pictures of Betty taken at Zout's. Minus the exhaust stack at that point, but otherwise looking good.

My Tapatalk app wouldn't allow any photo uploads for a few days but I reloaded it and now it works. I can catch up on a few happenings here. I still had problems with the exhaust stack. It came loose again and almost fell off on the way to Zout's last Saturday. It happened right at the...

LH drill bit for sure. Broken bolts are a pain, but LH drill bits reduce the pain a lot.

That is very cool.

I drove out to Clinto's place last Sunday and picked up the donor J-Pipe that would allow me to get my stack back to "tall" status. We had a great visit as always talking trucks, jobs and even a little politics. Monday night I worked on my son's science project with him for a little while and...

I think they all "weep" like that. Mine does it just enough to stain the block but never enough to actually drip. I've heard of all kinds of attempts to stop they slow leak, but nothing seems to work. I just keep an eye on it and regularly check my fluid levels and colors. I've put about 5,000...

That's great. Good looking truck. More pics please.

Here's a better photo. Colors look mo' better.

Here's my radiator guard adjustment tool.

Man, I'm tired. Had my boy's 12th birthday party this afternoon. Took my cousin's kid out for a drive in the deuce. He's 16 and been bugging me for a while to teach him to drive the truck. He did ok for his first time but I don't think my clutch will ever be the same. Started back to work on...

False alarm. She tried but was too weak to make it in the truck. She walked about halfway to the truck and decided she felt too weak to go. I told her that anytime she feels like it, we'll take a ride. I'm back in the driveway and working in the truck. Paint stripper is good stuff.

Yeah, what he said! It's 36 degrees in Atlanta, GA on April 20! What the heck! Got started on cleaning and prepping the drivers fender this morning. Taking a break to take one of my neighbors for a ride in the deuce. She's an older lady from New York that asked me if I would take her for a...
