I sort of got something done on the truck today. I tack welded the hood together, got the inner structure tack welded as well. The hood OPENED! OMG I am not kidding, I got a little verclempt, the damn hood opened and closed. I installed the latch and all and it works! I did it so I could trailer it to Idaho with that at least working, and it happened.

I also installed the grill and the front and rear bumper so I wouldn't have to carry them in the moving van, it also gave me a little fire, I dig seeing it like that, it moved me forward for sure.

I then did a bunch of cleaning of the back yard. Right now, I am beat, not joking, no "beat" like I always say, no, this really is BEAT.

Got to get to bed.
