Well since it not fast I Have to make her look good, this is what I have been working on.

In an effort to make the dodge a little more unique i decided to black out the
spot in between the windows . I think it looks fantastic . Vinyl is a pain
though . I recommend having the proper tools or have the pro's do it . but you
can't beat ten bucks in vinyl .




blacked out grill



black bumper and tip.



and I just need to sneak in a pic of me at work. . . I love the views. and I look forward to a career

It's so neat up there. . . I LOVE IT. I am mesmorized (sp.?) by the turbines still, and that pic is from smaller turbines 69 meter towers. . that is what I work on daily, well when the weather cooperates we have been weather out many many times lately (lightning) .

thanx for teh compliments , whew I need her to last for another year and a couple months. . . then it's upgrade time

And to think, I was wanting to remove the black vinyl between my windows to make it look different. I think everything may be too faded to attempt that now.

Just fighting off the "upgrade time" urge....

No he just has really long arms, just outside of the picture he is reaching around a pole with his right arm with camera in hand.
Where is that taken at?

Unhappy

I hate to rain on the party (pun intended), but The Ranch is in no condition for a meet this weekend. I haven't been up there yet, but last night a neighbor said water was standing everywhere and a lot of downed tree limbs. Besides the mud, it's grown up knee high and there is no way I'll be able to mow until next week. Maybe in a week or two...............

I still plan on going to the dyno and hope to see everyone there.

I was wondering how things fared up there. We have some friends in Van Alstyne that headed to the cellar last night. They had a tornado just west of the house that picked up before it got there. It definitely looked nasty on the map.

We did OK here. Doesn't look like the new roof took any damage. It did rearrange all of patio furniture as well as pruned a couple of trees. When Andrea was coming home, she saw a little tornado spin up in her rearview mirror while on George Bush. And she had a big timber from some building cross the road in front of her.

Room for two??? heck we could have BBQ up there, next time Robert has his trailer around ask if ya'll can hang out for a bit on top( 270 feet up ) the top of our Nacelle at school is roughly, 12 X 25 feet.

ya caught me, thats how I / We did it. . My lead on this job was standing in the nacelle on the main shaft with one of the hatches open to snap the photo.

I figured that pic would catch more comments than the truck

... thats why its there..

ps. ya'll stay safe in that bad weather, and feel free to send a bit this way. ONLY ON THE WEEKENDS though, this whole working in GIANT lightning rods sure cuts down on the hours.

You still didn't answer where that was taken at, looks like the area around Sweetwater.
