Long time no FORDification

Post by dolinick »

Hey, I can't remember the last time I logged onto FORDification. Sorry I haven't been around. I Still have the F750. I may replace the battery, start it up, and drive it a little on the farm. I won't be putting her on the road any time soon.

It's possible I will still make her into a customized monster sized F100 pick-up truck.

My baby is 15 1/2 months old now. We moved into our new house last August. I feel a little like I am losing myself. Things will be better next year I suppose.

Anyhoo, my 1967 Ranger is still in the shop! The transmission blew up a long time ago. I told them not to replace it and they have been storing it for me. They are so nice. I paid them for the towing and storage which was CHEAP. a few months ago and talked to them about picking it up. I never did pick up the truck. Recently I realized I could afford to have the transmission replaced to I have been calling them. They still have my truck safe and sound and I have faith that in a week or so I will be able to pick it up and drive it home.

I have a pretty good relationship with Temple Hill Automotive here in San Antonio.

:wel: back! Now that you're back with us and getting your bump back, we'll help you find yourself again. Besides, the little one's don't cause us to lose ourselves, they help us to find ourselves and make us whole. :wink: I've got 2 grandkids living with me and they keep me young.

Wow, I feel like I could quote your post and just say "Ditto!" :lol:

My truck sat for a long time without much action, I bought a house and finished the basement, and I have a daughter that turned 2 back in August....it seems like life just gets busy every now and then!! No regrets, they are only young once and some of the little moments truly are priceless.

I have been getting some stuff done on the truck lately (a few panels even have paint on them :D ) and I find myself back lurking around the website on a fairly regular basis, I guess that's how I found your post. I'm jealous that you will get to drive yours soon, I still have a while to wait.

In the meantime
:wel: back

Dolinick & Dan,
Nice to see you both back. Life does have a way of throwing us curve balls from time to time.
How are those trees? Bet there getting tall a few years later now. :thup:

For the most part the trees are doing good. Some are growing a bit. I did lose a few due to the drought but not many. I planted four more this fall.

Yes, the baby is great. She is growing up very fast. We have settled into our new house for the most part. I should be heading back to work soon also. I took off to work on a rental property. Actually renting out our old house. In fact I tore down the old fence last week in the back and set new cedar posts. Monday I will probably get all the cross pieces and pickets installed.
