Re: Build that 71 402 already

She is, thank you.

Boy my life right now............Ha. It happens. By brothers are battling, and the "vultures" are at bay. I've seen it before, wasn't unexpected. I get another Shepard come Tuesday, makes six dogs (WTH?) See, I probably didn't clean my floors often enough beforehand, but I can't go more than two weeks with the first Shepard, and the next sheds twice as much She's not long for this world, primarily because her hind-legs are shot. Doesn't have any teeth either, beautiful smile. She's quite a story BTW.

Course I'm working on their place, I didn't realize they were hoarders, won't bore you with the details. The Lt. Col. goes into a memory care center on Tuesday. I even spent a few hours back to center this week Looking forward to a lot more.

As for my build, good timing, I can't do anything without body/paint anyway. Think I'll call the guy, set up another day.

Speak of the build, I was well clueless coming into this project. Some suggest I built myself off the road. Heck I don't know, they might be right. Perhaps I may trailer the thing on occasion, but I didn't build this to show. I'll still drive it, but seems the money pit needs a truck to pull it. My 4.7 Tundra won't cut it, and forget about the dog C20.

So my mother left me a real nice Highlander, basically new. Too nice for me, I can't use it. That and all the bells and whistles these days are a bother, I stopped at A/C, though power locks are cool. Anyway, mother really left me a 5.7 Tundra I don't have yet. That will be the second (*^()^ truck I've bought for my truck What a disaster
