Tom,
who did the work for you?

 

Shop up here in Caldwell that does most of the work on my truck. They originally put the PacBrake in 3 years ago. If you want the name, I will PM you. I believe the site Admins will delete the name if I post it.

 

sheesh, what a day, alarm didn't go off, left late for Hunting, unknown to me, I havelost my spare key in my wallett = locked keys in truck, 50 miles from home...... get to my stand, battery dead on my feeder, no corn, no deer......... break into truck and go get battery....... get that all settled, up in the tree for the afternoon.... somewheres along the line, lost my buck hunnting knife... not that I needed it, didn't see anything but squirrels ! tom 10 am tomorrow in Verona? I will toss a few batteries in the charger so they are fresh, think of anything else off the wall we may need ?

 

Both of my batteries are charged...see you guys in the AM.

 

Huge thanks to big Mike for installing my air horns today. Took about 2.5 hours and a trip to the hardware store, but he got them going and they are really loud. They are not quite as loud as his, but hey, he wouldn't be the conductor if he didn't have the loudest horns.

Mike, already thinking of adding a second air tank. That little guy is just not cutting it for me!

 

they sound pretty dang good too Tom, was a pain tryin to decide where to mount them, after that it wasn't so bad. you need to toss a few pics in your gallery of the horns and the valve, as I told you, your install looks slicker than mine. A bigger tank can go anywhere, all we need to do is add in that t between the valve and the current lil tank and mount it up.

 

I will definetly need that new tank, one blast of those horns and then it sounds like a dying cat. Maybe you will get lucky and find that propane tank, or I will score another tank of some sorts. Thanks again!

 

nothing brings a smile to my face like the sound of a dying cat, but, I guess I'll keep an eye out for a tank !

 

So when is the next get together?

 

dunno, but by then my truck will have another thousand miles on it, gotta drive down to N Carolina Friday for a funeral, and back Sunday ........ gonna have my niece and nephew in the back seat, but I have a plan, I got a converter that allows the use of a computer monitor to display from a dvd player, kids are gonna be watching a 19 inch lcd screen to keep them entertained

 

Portable DVD players are an absolute must for long car rides, especially for young kids. Sorry you have to drive down there, how long will it take you?

 

well it is 522 miles, so a little over 9 hrs. Good thing I gave wifey a gps unit for Christmas, that sucker is gonna be ridin on my dash for this trip. Worst part is deffinately going to be the fact that over half of the trip will be in the dark on roads I have never been on. O well, at least I will be gettin some highway mpg out of it, knowin my truck I will have to fuel up before I make it all the way.

 

O this is almost too bad arsed for the kids, I got the adapter box for the computer monitor, and it does what it says, rite now I have a dvd player hooked up to the 19 inch lcd monitor, on top of the armrest, and facing back, also hooked up a 2.1 speaker set. all running off my inverter, sounds good, looks awesome. The people behind me are gonna love watchin this too ! BTW Tom, I found the tank, so whenever the next g2g is we can give it a shot.

 

Mike safe driving been down to NC a couple of times, and beyond.

Thought i was going to make it last sunday but did not happen, due to livfe nest time will make time.

Hope everyone is doing well.

 

Good to hear from you Phil, glad to hear you are still lurking about.

Mike, glad you found the tank. I looked online and thought $50-100 for a tank was ridiculous, especially for something that will be mounted underneath the truck! Thanks again man, I really do appreciate it.
