Sorry about your mom. You are putting your time where it really counts. For some de-stressing, may I suggest going for a rip in SIL's new toy. It looks like some seriously silly fun!

Cool new toy. We rented one last year when we went to Sedona. It was so much fun. It was the highlight of our family vaca.

Re: Jans 53

I’m baaack! Started by putting the gas struts on the bed floor. These struts are some I had sitting around the garage they feel like about 60 lbs each. I will probably have to buy some heavier ones once I get the wood on.
On another note my mom passed away last week. I have been staying at her house the last 7 months. Im having to adjust to being back home and lord knows the hubby wasn’t doing any deep cleaning.lol

Yes, sorry about your mom.

What is that "deep clean" you speak of?

Glad you are home and back on the truck.

condolences to you, and sorry for the loss.

Hopefully some 'garage time' will help with the grieving.


Glad you are back, as you do some very nice work

Re: Jans 53

My most sincere condolences.

As for the "Deep Cleaning" you know that us men don't do it to the level you'd expect/want so it would all need to be redone anyway. He was just being more efficient.

Re: Jans 53

ok, is deep cleaning like a full detail on our trucks ???
Jan - you have my deepest sympathys. Loosing a parent is not easy. We lost both our moms right around Mothers Day. Hang in there and remember the good times. It helps but not much.

So sorry about your Mom. It leaves an opening that won't ever be filled again, but the memories and pictures you have helps keep memories alive.

Re: Jans 53

Here is some shocks I found on A mo son.

The search words may help you find the set you need.

These say 120-165 lbs

Here is an online calculator for determining the size you need.
