Hope to get to a flea-market in the morning, then do whatever SWMBO wants me to do for the rest of the day.

Sunday:

Zap my "new" Sargent knuckle joint. Talk about rusty, oof, it's fugly.

Start the process of putting drawers into the space between the top tray, and bottom tray of a little metal stand/cart that I have as I NEED to create more storage space.

>I am spending today building side boards for my truck. Tomorrow the moving begins. I have to take a table and chairs to Maine tomorrow for my brother-in-law. Mid month move my brother-in-law, end of month move myself, (4000sq' of storage into >2000), and a week after that move my son.

When you have a big truck you're everyones friend.

>going from 4000 sq. ft. to less than 2000. OHHHHHHHHHH the PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN, the Agony, Oh the Humanity!! :~(

I'd be selling that truck right quick too. I have an S-10 and nobody ever ask me to help them move :~)

>Just got rid of my S10 186,000 on it, no problems with it in 8 years.

The plus side of this is I'm going from a barn with a wood stove to a basement with a furnace. No more waiting and hour for the temp to go up 10 degrees.

That and I'll have 38 arces to play with. I can put a lot of the 4000sq' under tarps till I can sell it or find a place for it.

It still ain't going to be pretty, -or fun.

>I'm pushinf 160,00 on mt '93 S-10 and it's still going STRONG! I have the 4.3 V-6 and boys and girls that is the only way to go. This is my 3rd vehicle with a 4.3 and they all three have/had been EXCELLENT performers. We still have 2 of the 3. Sold the first one when we transfered to Japan in '98.

38 ACRES! IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?! YOU SUCK!! I have no more sympathy for you now. ;~) Man you lucky dog. Whatcha' got in mind for it? Crops? Cattle? I think I hate you.

I really noticed the difference when I got rid of my 1981 long-bed F250 - no more moving requests!

It's almost all woods. I'm going to sit on it for about 10 years, then subdivide about 2, 7 acre lots off the top of it and launch myself straight into retirement with a paid off house.
