Spring Time!!
Spring Time!!
Hey All,
Spring is finally here. First outing into town since last fall. Had to pick up shelves for the garage and plants for the yard. Every home needs a truck. And a spouse who indulges your love of old, loud and time consuming hobbies.
This weekend is the Portland Swapmeet and I don't leally NEED anything I only WANT stuff. Newer stuff. The truck is fine just as it is. Old scars and all. Gets me from A to B all the time. Plus lots of thumbs up from people we pass. New gauges would be nice though. 3 out of 5 working isn't bad.
Next time you pass your truck give it a pat on the hood.

Re: Spring Time!!
Thanks Jim I needed that. I had planned on giving my truck a really good bath last weekend but just ran out of time from pressure washing the place at the lake where I keep the truck. It's supposed to rain here this Saturday so, it may be two weeks before I can get some time to clean her up. Your truck looks great!!!

Re: Spring Time!!
New year and I am at it again. I live it in the high desert area and just need more green. Check out the magnetic arm pad because we get HOT here in North Central Washington. When not in use it sticks to the lower door metal. Like I say, "home owners need trucks".
Enjoy the season.

Great pic! We're still in the 40s-50s here with rain.... LOTS of rain.

Great looking truck Jim My sister lived in Lake Oswego for many years and I just love that area out there, especially July thru September.

Yes, at it again with the planting. Missed a few years posting. Rest assured we did plant around the yard, things just die every year.

Yes, more plants again this year. Our area is starting to look complete. Lucky me the wife still loves me too.

Re: Spring Time!!
I love it! That's a great way to show off your truck and "How to use it"! Now to have a photo of all your hard work at home showing off the landscaping. Thanks for sharing!!
