Had to drive to work with the window cracked...

Clem, those stories are definitely for sitting around the fire with cold beverages!

Nice man, at 10 minutes mine is still blowing cool air. haha!

Sounds like the Mule's also. Never really gets hot. Good thing I only need it 1 or 2 days a year.

You are going to need the heat here the rest of the week. Glad you got the water pump fixed, man have I had days like that.

I remember that weather pattern from my days in Biloxi...

Momma said there'd be days like that, or was that that Murphy character???

Driving the Stepper to work today with the high supposed to be 41... Yep, glad the heat's working...

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!

Have a BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!

Bomp · 12-24-2017, 12:59 PM

Merry Christmas

**TJ's Chevy** · 12-25-2017, 12:40 PM

Merry Christmas Brotha!

Ta2Don · 02-11-2018, 07:48 PM

Time for a non-truck related update... As soon as the weather decides to cooperate I will have a truck update to post. Seems the Power Steering pump has finally given up the proverbial ghost. A new one resides in the shed waiting to be installed. Winter nastiness precludes me from wanting to spend much time in the unheated shed.

On to the update...
Thankfully there are still folks out there who aren't stingy. With that being said, today I picked up a Red Wrench setup for FREEEEEEEE!!!!!

One almost full Oxygen bottle and two Acetylene bottles with gas, Victor gauges and hoses all included in the $0 price. Here are a couple of quick pics I snapped before retreating to the heat...

Next time I find myself in the shed, something is getting cut, melted, burned, heated...

Laterz Guys and Gals, Sweetie day is just around da corner...

**Palf70Step** · 02-11-2018, 08:19 PM

Nice Hot wrench! Congrats on the acquisition.

Bomp · 02-11-2018, 09:32 PM

I have saws, plasma, grinders with cut off blades and a sheer but nothing beats a Hot Wrench
Bottles are cool too.

Congrats Don, you tha Man.
I wanna see red blops a droppin'

Grizz1963 · 02-12-2018, 03:49 AM

Great purchase Don.

As Bomp said...... Hot Wrences are cool.

realvc · 02-12-2018, 08:06 AM

Congrats. on the new to you torch set up.
I could use a torch in the shop.
A torch rig is on my want list of tools for the shop.

**clemdaddy** · 02-12-2018, 08:12 PM

Alreet, you got a torchy thing...
Congrats Don, good to tool-up.

**TJ's Chevy** · 02-12-2018, 11:00 PM

I'll be watchin for that plume of smoke from your direction! haha!

Ta2Don · 11-15-2018, 09:47 PM

Just a short update... Kind of a bittersweet day today. I made a deal to sell the stepper. Life and medical bills are a bit more important at the moment. More to come soon.

Don

Awe, man I hate to hear that. However, I know life situations sometimes lead you down that road, & it's definitely more important. Wishing you the best!

Real sorry to hear Don,

I hope all the health issues get sorted sooner than later.

The tide will turn.

65truckowner · 11-16-2018, 08:34 AM

I was thinking about you yesterday when I was down at searcy. Hate to hear you have to sell but understand also. Wishing you the best.

ibrown50 · 11-16-2018, 11:34 AM

Sorry to hear that Don, Prayers and best wishes from this side of the pond. Get well soon

**clemdaddy** · 11-16-2018, 12:10 PM

Bummer but definitely understandable.

realvc · 11-16-2018, 07:40 PM

Sorry to hear you're selling the "Stepper"
also sorry I did not get to talk longer when you called.
It is hard to get people to come out here and the dude just drove up to see about the roof on my shop.
Keep me posted on things and call anytime.
your bro.

rusty76 · 11-16-2018, 08:00 PM

Hate to hear it Don but I know things will get better. Trust that you will return with another kool ride.
