What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

[Triplegreen500]

That's nothing.

I had to fill THREE twenty-yard dumpsters with crap my tenant left behind....and that's BEFORE I started with the construction demo!

Here you can see the rotted bathroom floor she never thought to tell me about...

And this is the living room, where she ripped up the carpet because the dog kept pissing and shitting on it and it was easier for her to just mop it all into the subfloor:

You can see the stains but photos don't give you any of the STENCH...

Now it's much happier (well, getting there)

Dang, brother.

It's "the business".

This one's pretty light for us.

Two trash cans full of mostly food trash that went out the first day we were there.
One big bag of mostly food trash that went to our house the next day when our trash went out.
and about a half a dumpster of junk that went to my shop and has been picked up.
Plus about a 2 yard dumpster's worth of stuff sat out by the curb that's being picked through by neighbors.

Still have a questionable bunk bed structure that might be good steel tube project fodder.

They had about a years worth of "Hello Fresh" insulated boxes and 8x11 freezy packs.

Unfortunately all but one of the 20 or so freezy packs was cut/ripped and unusable.

Let's see...Day Two of our annual Icy Apocalypse is going along as expected. I'm sitting in my fancy recliner, watching Price is Right, when our lovely and hyper-caffinated news reader telling us about a big-*** pile up on I-35 southbound. A bunch of semis racked and stacked, blocking everything. Our normal high is 54° and low of 33°.. Today, we had a low of -4° and are at 6° now.

Oh, yeah, my pipes are froze! Gotta trace that down here in a few minutes. I've got light snow in my shop. And, my drive is one solid ice sheet.of icy ice.

I really despise Winter in my sixty-something age. OK, I've pissed and moaned enough. Time to thaw pipes and hope to hell I don't fall and break a bone. Today sucks.

Moved snow, again. It isn't a Mopar, but it gets the job done!

I have run out of room. I have to place it in the backyard.

I worked on my truck. Sunday I got it up on the wheel cribs and dropped the oil. I couldn’t finish the job because the plastic drain plug gasket was beginning to split. Fast forward to today, the Amazon copper drain plug washers showed up so I could reinstall the plug and add oil. While it’s up in the air I’m going to check every nut and bolt on the chassis and do a little detailing. There’s a little bit of work to do under the hood, then I can swap the vehicles around and get started on the GTX…

Almost didn't come home from work today. Had just walked out the man door and around the front of the hoe when she all came down in one shot!

That and 7 hours under a hoe with no enjoyment and unsure if I solved anything. Guess I'll find out when I put $300 worth of hydraulic fluid on it tomorrow.

Good luck Wayne!

I may have purchased a new Dodge Ram 2500 Big Horn “Night Edition” in Billet Silver with a 6.4 HEMI. The plan is to retire in July, after driving a company vehicle for the past 16 years l’m going to need a daily driver. I was planning to buy a half ton but the remaining 1500s with a HEMI that I could find locally are ridiculously priced Laramie models with options that I don’t really want or need. Financing is all set, I just have to pull the trigger…

Very nice...but for my money, I'd go Cummins. Longevity, durability, power, capability....

Nice looking truck regardless. Good luck!

I wouldn't buy a new Dodge period... but that's just me... lol

I’ve been in the trucking industry for 46 years, a Cummins is overkill for what I plan to do with the truck. It will be a goin’ to town rig 99% of the time.

That's why I love mine so much. No matter what I throw at it, I can't possibly kill it. It is so under-worked in this chassis, it'll live forever...and do anything I could ever ask without breaking a sweat.
