The Good Morning Thread

Da da...da dada ,dada Monday,Monday !
Mornin everbody.Just wanna keep the thread goin.Think I'll get on the two wheeler and cruise a bit.Sun is gonna finally shine today.

good evnin,morning. got home from wk 9am. 2 cups of jo. off to a job interview, came back home. mowed the lawn, now eating lunch- no diner. i hate these hrs...

Since I don't have my van, yet, I cruised the Scion xB to the skatepark and had some fun in the sun, ripping up the bowl a little bit! Beautiful day. Now I'm just working on selling my Fairlane, so I can grab up the van I'm eye balling!

Yes Sir, raining like there's no tomorrow! And will be all week. The joys of living on the ocean!!! Looks like a "Hot coffee" and computer day!!!

Wylee...worked that shift many years,its tough bud.
Fairlane? Perk ! Ripping up a skateboard bowl ? The only thing I'd rip is ...well,...I'd get hurt.Haaaa
Yeah Dan,we've had Mon.'s & Tue.'s clear with rain the other five for the past three weeks.Its about to get old.Could be worse though the other way.

The Fairlane. A good, pretty solid project car with a nice running 289/4 spd toploader. Nice interior. I'm probably crazy for getting rid of it...but I have boogie van on the brain, so something has to give.


It photographs better than it really is. It needs some body work and the paint is seriously rough. Re-sale red. I think it's sold, as of tomorrow.


Me, skating, last week....

I'm no shredder, but I have fun and, amazingly, might be getting better (at 44) than I was at 16. Maybe. Maybe not.

Ya Fairlane looks good from here,man.ButI understand about havin to cut things loose though.
Yeah...I could see me now,bottom of the pipe,face down,lookin like Wile E.Coyote in the middle of the hiway.Glad to know somebody can still 'get air'.
Sorry folks...sidetracked a bit.

Mornin Everbody !

thanks. I "Wile E.'d" the wall one day. No skating for 6 weeks. yikes.

to get things back on track...I might be vannin again by late this week or early next week! Stoked.

well its 10pm, moring for me. nice car!! mounted electric feul pump on duster. gonna finish duster 1st. also selling 68 olds rag top to finish duster and start the van, cant wait to start the van.

It'sa little rainy here in Mid Michigan this mornin', good excuse to put off the yard work and get back in the garage. Worked on the van till after 11pm last night, gonna take some coffee and a bottle of asprin to get movin' today.
You all have a great Weekend !

Going to be a great weekend

70 And sunny today so cruise the van to work for 2 hours then run a couple of errands in the van. Bill

Been coming down hard for the last two weeks. Will this rain ever stop? Of course this "Forces" me to finish all the unpacking of the what seems like hundreds of boxes. This is probably good since I can't get the van back in the garage to work on it until I get all the boxes out of there...

Its almost 80* here and I think I'm gunna bring the spa out of hibernation.

Its a beautiful morning at the lake, and I'm lookin forward to a day of relaxation and family & friends. Have a good Memorial guys, and dont forget the fallen.

And summer is officially here !! We missed out on the big storms here in the middle of the state. hope all you guys to the south came through okay.
Looking forward to Bakers next weekend, hoping this nicer stretch of weather holds out . Going to get a couple "Van" hours in at the garage today
then have to get the sprayer around and do some weed control on a small corn field ( food plot). You all have a good Fathers Day.

Well yesterdays weather sucked, and it looks like today isnt gunna be much different. Maybe it will clear up this afternoon.



Have a great Dad-day!

It looks to be a sunny morning here, after a few days of what seemed like October weather. Havent much time for the van since the 4th, A lil campin' and QT with family. My bodywork guy is now officially my son-in-law after yesturday ! So today I have time to do a few more things on the Van. Still trying to figure out if I can buy a universal Lokar Parking brake cable kit or if I am going to have to buy a tool and parts to make them.
Ya all have a good day !

Weather is definately feeling more like fall ,, starting to see some decent Bucks wandering around and the salmon should be where I like fishin for them soon. wind and rain in the forecast here next couple of days.

the weather is changing, dont know if i will get a chance to cement the floor. got the duster moveable, still long way to go. the fury blew a timming chain,had to get a truck. seems like not enough hours in a day. did buy some small parts for the van.also worked on the wood pile.

Yah Im sick of splitting wood now 8 cord later! Spending the weekend cleaning and orginiseing the shop. Started yesterday the things you find, Ive got more 1/2 and 9/16 wrenches than Sears! Made a chili this morning used some of V.B.'s ingrediants . Eatin good in the neighbor hood!

Overslept this morning. Gonna unload a bunch of stuff out of the early, cut the grass for maybe the last time this year, use the early to move stuff, visit the parent and fix some of their household items. Definitely a buzz-kill after yesterday's van show. At least the Bears aren't playing this week.

Just a little early morning rambling...Woke up way to early today, So as usual I fire up the PC and do some exploring while I kill off a pot of coffee and a half a pack a smokes. I checked out the thread on the Gold metal flake A100 and followed it to the HAMB board and went on from there. I like the metal flake BTW but it makes me think of dune buggies. Anyway , I see there was a slam against our rides comparing them to a box of crackers and how they all look alike. Sorta makes one feel like the Red-headed step child of the car world. Not that I care of course.
I started out with a 1965 GMC Handi-van as my first car. so I got alot crap from folks right from the beginning. It was never finished and everytime one of my buddys and I put a sander to it, it uncovered another layer of paint or bondo. everything from the original white to multiple psychadelic colors of the word TRIP written across the back doors. Once the HS principle even got in on it and announced " There is a van in the parking lot with its lights on,," and proceeded to list nearly a dozen colors in his description. It was pretty funny considering it was the ONLY van in the parking lot. But to this day when I meet up or get in contact with any of my old HS friends they always bring up the van, even how whenever they see a black van or something similar they think of it, I hauled alot of people around in it and had some fun adventures. I never actually sold that van, my bro and I robbed parts off it to keep other things going till there was little more left of it than some rusty skin. I saw a Corvan ona CSI episode the other night, maybe this recent re-introduction will bring some repsect to our rigs or maybe just make them and parts worth more. I have always blamed Hollywood for the surge in Harley prices.
Going to take sometime today to button up some pre winter stuff and maybe get the garage in order alittle better (its gettin crowded ). Ya all have a good day!
