    Let's rock! (In my best Al Bundy impersonation.)

    Need to finish the nose and get it lettered. Motor is pretty much done. Need to install the windage tray and a few odds and ends. The BIG announcement happened tonight. I'm giddy! We will be referred to as the Warriors Way #17 truck this year. We have partnered with the non-profit...

    Suppose they do kids birthdays or bar mitzvah's or other underage events with a name like this?

    2024 shed season

    Easy update. 2.21 miles. No sheds. Zero on the year so far. Not so impressive but I've gotten some exercise. And just an observation: if you search for this thread in the "Shed hunting" section you won't find the thread. Made it most of the day thru the season before I realized it wasn't in the...

    Buy a vehicle

    Shop. Shop more. Shop hard. Walk away from it. Start shopping again. When you find a deal, know if it is a deal, a scam, rebuilt title, or something else. Confirm EVERY option you are looking for. Might say TRD, but is it truly a 4x4 if that is what you want? Stuff like that. Might be a CRV...

    Drinking? Or 1.5-2" gave you an idea? Is this a guessing game? I'm not sure i want to guess. Pretty sure I don't want to know. 🤣

    Salt today. Mowers Monday. Mother Nature is drunk. We got 1.5-2" snow. Much melted or was melting nicely until the bottom dropped out. Around 6am all the slush froze up. None of this was predicted. We were done before I saw the first ODOT or county truck out. Only saw a couple of private...

    Grandmas car

    It will if you spend enough money. You can stuff a big block in a Chevy II but there are other options that might be easier.

    You said you wanted Grandma's car. That was grandpa's truck. Keep your focus. 😁

    Found it! Grandma's? Check. Clean and low miles? Check. Diesel? Check. Best of all. . . .it's a Vette.

    She is a blank canvas. I need to redo some of the front metal where it is tweaked. I also did not care for how it came out when we were rebuilding it. Probably should get some spring steel for the rear quarter to pop back out when it is pushed in. Currently it has aluminum flat stock we just...

    Hicks Lawn Services truck racing

    Short block is together. Honed. New rings. Working on the head now. Lapping valves basically is what it needs. Wasn't going to re-skin the truck this year. We have some exciting news on the horizon. Sounds like we are going to need to look pretty. Current status before I had to cut out today...

    Random weather thread

    Talk about an overwhelming amount of pics and drone footage for the Indian Lake area. . . Horrible. I suspect it will make national news networks if it hasn't already. Haven't heard an official number of fatalities or casualties. I've heard a lot of different numbers though. One fatality is too...

    Random weather thread

    The only issue with volunteers is the lack of direction in something like this. Everyone has good intentions. They all want to pitch in. So much so, it overwhelmed the people handling the scene (s). They had to turn people away. I felt kind of useless. Like I would have been better off if they...
