darn, that's a good pull to. Just laid back and fun. Seems like we went there about two years ago and they did'nt get done pulling until.....well we got there at noon and we left at 10pm....but they were'nt done yet. Got that welding job on Saturday and need to get that done. May make a swing by there after I decide to call it quits. Probably the evening.

Well I can't help you a lot there since its been a long time since I've been that way. From nashville to my house is bout an hour and a half. I'd say it would probly be bout the same time wise. Don't hold me to that though. The last time I pull at campbellsville was in Oct of last year. There were 6 trucks I belive. 2 of which I know will not be there this time. One is my truck which is in pieces still. The other the owner is at boot camp. Being a bit earlier though maybe a few more there. Should be a good pull. Hope u can make it down.

my house is about 40 minutes, or so, from where 840 and I65 meet, tack on about 20 more minutes from mt pleasant down 166 south and you'll be in campbellsville. from where I40 and 840 meet, you should be down around columbia in less than an hour. I've driven the f550 home from lebanon and been at my house in an hour or so, maybe a tick more. Don't know the best way to get there off the interstate. hwy 43 towards lawrenceburg is a 4 lane, 70mph then through downtown MP to 166 south. Maybe deereguy has a better way to get there.

I plan on knocking off as soon as i get the steps welded in. then i can handle the handrail on my own. plus of course they are talking rain chances, just can't get a break on this darn job.

They are planning on starting at 2-3, excellent, at latest I planned on leaving at 3 so i should be rolling in there around 4:30. You gonna be in your dually deereguy? kvd coming as well? Id call ya when i got there but seems like last time my cell service was hit or miss over there. deereguy if you need help putting your truck together.....when im not busy i can give a hand......wait, when was the last time i was'nt busy.......????? My wife emailed the other day and complained about being sick on vacation, i said va-what???? what are those??

I ain't that good at judgin time and distances. Yep I reckon so far as I know I will be in my flatbed. Yea cell phone service is a real hit or miss at the track. Most of the time a miss. Jus haller at me before you get real close if you want dodgeguy. I may have to take you up on that offer with the truck if you get some free time. May try to take some more parts off tonight. Ain't got but a few before I'll have to start puttin stuff back on.

Heck, hopefully the rain will go away for the next two weekends and let me get this stair thing done.....been dragging on way to long. My next stair job will be done in june, july or august....no rain, cold, snow!!!

If i get done i'll be back to hauling scrap off to pulaski on saturday am's and then be free on the weekends again...wow, that would be nice for a change!!

Well, started working on "Project X" for my truck, lets just say i'm not so happy with my tailpipe.

It's funny, my friend keeps telling other friends that come by his shop that he's never seen anyone spend so much to make a pretty truck ugly. Removing the regular bed and going with the flatbed. What's funny is the other people always comment about how they like the bed and then my friend says, yeah those skirted sides look good. Not pretty like she was, just a different flavor. I like the new Generals on the back, lookin forward to getting the fronts on then finish "Project X" and maybe do a leveling kit.

I think it looks good and your right if your gonna work out of it all time thats the way to go. I mean you can't beat a torch and a rattle can to fix it, real body takes a lil more than that, so I'm told.

update my sig, my pictures.....my hearing aid!!! Or turn it off!! Making the 70 mile trip to nastville today, insert earplugs, fill up with expensive diesel......it's to painful to drive anymore, should just stay home on the couch!!

You southern side of town folks going out to Campbellsville? Probably like a swamp after the last two days. I'd like to try and come out, but not to sure. I have to see how this stair job goes today.....the thing that has become a giant thorn in my side!! I'm to the point that I would like my weekend back.

Hopefully I'll get enough done that I can sluff off around 3 to try and get down there for any evening things.

Tinkered around with the flatbed last night since the pull got cancelled. Made me a new air intake. I'll try to get some pics of it in the next couple of days. Then I did something bad bout 1:00 this morning. I was using my sell phone for light to check for a leak around the oil filter. Hit my hand on something and dropped my cell phone into the fan on the motor while the truck was running. those are two things that don't go together at all. Best cell phone I've ever had but it couldn't make it through that. Busted the main screen on it. LOL Guess I'm gettin a new one sooner than I thought.

Now THAT'S funny!
While you are out shopping around for a new cell phone, stop by Harbor Freight Tools or Wal-Mart and get yourself a FLASHLIGHT!
