My 1969 GMC 1/2 Ton Truck

My New Truck

My 2010 Truck Project

I have owned quite a few trucks in my lifetime. Two 1964 Chevy Custom 1/2 Trucks and my 1979 Toyota pickup come to mind. Drove a few company trucks and vans when I was an installer. I have always like having a good work truck around. Six months ago, I started looking for another 1960′s era truck to restore. Last week, I found one.

My new truck was hiding behind the house that was across the street from my wife’s uncle. [I now want to visit every backyard within a 50 mile radius. :) ] I see Tons ‘o Potential here… So after checking it out and receiving a bill of sale, we put it on a trailer and towed it back home.

Stay Tuned!

Deep Freeze

Frozen Pond

Frozen Pond

Our pond froze up last night.. I imagine the fish were a bit confused. It looks like we are under siege from this cold front. There is only so much you can do, before you just throw your hands up in disgust and scream / beg for Mr. Sunshine to return.

We lost ALL of the dil we had in our beds. We put a few rugs on our mustard plants in the freeze .. seemed to warm them up and so far… they are still a rich green color .. waiting for them to bolt to season our 2010 pickles!! We are looking over the new seed catalogs and we have almost decided what chili plants we will grow this year. I plan on putting in another batch of radishes and carrots, and other than that, not much else going on.
