Awe, you guys are sweet. And yes, I cook, clean, and I turn wrenches on all our cars next to the hubby, well, when I'm not busy baking a kid that is.

Seeing those pics of my first TB makes me feel all sentimental. Loved that truck. Handled NY roads in the winter amazingly well. *tear

It's not too bad in Chicago. It's not the best day to pull a 16' enclosed trailer though. Image

Wahhhh, I can't drive in OR work on it indoors.

Good news, It was 75 degrees on Saturday. 80 degrees today.

Better news, my brother got everybody to chip in (daugher, her fiancee, wife, him, his wife) and for the only holiday gift I was even hinting for, they funded me 3 of the 4 new tires I needed desperately. (Procomp Xtreme MT2)

Maybe you can get that rusty bumper painted too.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

Ballsy thieves, but in the upscale part of town, they're classy enough to leave you up on Harbor Freight 16-ton jack stands, not concrete blocks. hehe

Now my snow-hating brother is back from Wisconsin, he can finish the 10% of the bumper he didn't finish before he ran off last February. Weld grinding mostly. And then prep the bumper and body for a lower section bed lining application. Hopefully dark blue on the body and black on the bumper.

Not saying I wouldn't call him fat... haha, I might! But I was suggesting he typoed the tons of his jackstands. Not to mention, I wasn't the first to lift an SS either. haha

BACON!!!!
