Yesterday, I loaded finished loading the truck and loaded the trailer with bagged leaves. Hauled them to the dump this morning. I wish the landfill were open later in the afternoon, cause then I could drive the bump/trailer to work and dump the leaves after I got off.
Still have 5 bags of leaves to start the next load, and still have a lot of leaves left on the trees! (I hate that oak tree. )

I got a a hood and a dash pad in great condition for the '69 for $80, well that was yesterday.
Today i will be installing the dash pad and start painting the hood
Finally got nice chrome gas cap for it. Makes the driver side look a whole lot nicer.
No more old crusty, rotten rubber seal, leaky gas cap!
Small things can really make you feel better.
