What was your prep of the day?

[Broncosfan]

Planted 3 thorn-less blackberry bushes today. I need to pickup 4 more to finish out the area

[SOCOM42]

Well, there's no accounting for taste.

I still have the side panels for the Bronco that I was going to install.

They are right behind the shop, came from JC Whitney.

Those things suffered from severe rot, from road salt.

35 years and you haven't found a reliable one yet!?

That was plural, we have two of them, We each have had two each in the last 15 and 25 years.

Myself, the first I gave to my daughter right after she got her drivers license, that makes 3 total for me.

[BucketBack]

I found the thorned blackberry bushes last night cleaning up the garden for roto tilling, bought 6 pyrex bowls for $5, and heading to the grandsons to clean out a shed full of like new stuff / junk.

Rakes, shovels, dog eared fence boards and cinder blocks ( shelves for apt ), bar stools from what I spotted from 50'.

The Mrs is in all her yard sale glory

I have had a Honda van go 11-12 years before I traded it in, otherwise the wimmen folk around here total cars before I'm done getting my money's worth out of them.

LOL! LOL! LOL!

My Grand Cherokee is a 2008, bought new,, have done repair work on it, but still going strong, 112,000 miles on it.

That's some seriously low mileage for a 2008. Here that would have been a pile of rust flakes by now.

I want to say the van was at around 160k, but had scars from my wife driving it, and the interior was trashed from three rugrats. Drive train was fine, but I wanted an upgrade to something not destroyed by the rest of the clan.

100% agree about the rust. My '12 F-350 that I bought new is getting rust pretty bad already. It's got over 190K on the clock, and I do plow snow with it.

I am going to be cradle to grave on this truck, and same with our '18 Edge.

Not sure if I will buy a new truck after this one dies, for what they get for a truck I can buy a new CNC that will actually make me money.

Yeah, don't drive much anywhere, just the essential trips, markets, doctors.

No desire to go on trips, did plenty of that at a younger age.

Depending on where they spent their life, a vintage truck can be rotted out under there. Mine came from San Diego, and was remarkably rust free.
