Actually, It's 4 minutes into Sunday as I type this. The day is over and time for bed. But before I go, I figured I should type "something".
A pal of mine just turned 30 and we went to a local bar to watch the UFC fights and had a few drinks. I'm not really into the whole UFC thing but hey, it's a chance for me to get out of the house for a couple of hours and hang with the guys. He had a drink that I've never seen before: I didn't catch the name of it but it was a half pint of Guinness and a shot of Baileys and something else in the shot. You drop it into the Guinness and it "tastes like ice cream". I might have to try that sometime when I'm not driving.
Anyhow, My new fenders for Flight 59 came in on Wednesday. I was tracking the shipment via e-mail notifications since it left California. I had it set to deliver at the freight terminal I work at since the delivery required a signature. I was there til 11:30 before I left on my route. My 1st stop was the Texas A&M Vet. Teaching Hospital and when I got there, SAIA Motor Freight was there. I flagged him down and sure enough, he had my parts on his truck! I hopped into his trailer to help him move the 3 BIG boxes out of his truck and moved them onto my truck. I toted them all over my route the rest of the day then when I got back to the terminal I loaded them into my pickup and took them home. The parts were in excellent shape.
I finally settled on a color for the truck. This is breaking news and you heard it here first: PPG 2001 Plymouth Prowler Orange! Check out Dave Thompson's 1958 GMC painted that same color. Oh and it has a '55 front clip but yes, it's a '58...
I can tell you this: His truck is WAAAAAYYY nicer than mine is for sure! I'm just glad I can have such a cool old truck even though I cant spend money like its no big deal.
