Desertdawg Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Well it looks like it’s going to be sunny, dry, and 70 degrees here for Xmas. I think I’ll wash the vette this weekend in shorts and flip flops! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hopefully it will be over soon. Hate being stuck in the house all the time. 1 more day of this wind and then next week it warms up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Yeah, no more dust for a month or so until it dries out again and we don't get any more. 😎👍 Thanks, Donna. Wish I could have driven it, but it got a bit deeper a few more feet in front of it. Here's a little video of it I was taking while getting the pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 The search is over and went very quick. Wasn't really looking to purchase one this quick, but I now have a new toy to play with and something that can pull a trailer with Grape inside if'n I can locate an enclosed trailer for him. 2016 Silverado 1500 Z71 4X4. Pearl white with the 5.3 engine. Only 43K miles and 1 owner. I can now get out of my driveway when it snows. The Equinox works good too as it has the 4 wheel assist drive train. But this will be even better if we need it. I can't leave anything alone so I'm already looking to make it more cool and mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Thanks, hope it turns out to be a good choice. Snowed again last night too. Might have to go tear up my yard with it and see how it does. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 The wife's order from Amazon got stuck today........in my back yard! He had to call a tow truck to get out. Left a couple nice holes in my grass for me to fix when it warms up too. Hope he didnt tear into a sprinkler head! Not sure why he went all the way down to the back either.

TheCMSH Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 We always used to put out the driveway reflectors for the drive lanes at the farm before the snow arrived. My grandfather had a grandson who liked to go all Dukes of Hazzard driving in snow and ended up in a drainage ditch or two and jacked up the yard a time or two. I'm not saying which grandson it was, but it might've been me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Well, you might not believe this, but I had to use the new truck to unstuck the gold one this afternoon. I took it to town to get it washed and get some pics for the sale ad. It will soon be listed on Facebook marketplace if anyone is interested. Anyway, Goldie got stuck on the flat snow covered backyard driveway. You believe that!!! Dang Arizona summer tires don't work for shit up here at all. 🤨 😆 Not sure if it will sell this time of year, but Darci is having a new knee mod on March 24th so that money might come in handy if it does. I don't need to sell it, but really don't need 2 trucks either. Just another day at the Grape Ape acres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P51tj Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 GLWS and all the best on Darci's knee mod! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 2 wheel drive is a tough sell up there (you know why now) I'd list it down here as well, for the right rig people will drive to get a rust free sunbelt truck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Grape's garage is getting closer to being liveable again. Got the top to my new tool condo today, came in 2 weeks early. Now I can put everything into one place and not have to try and remember which box whatever I'm looking for is in. 2 of the boxes I have now will be going bye-bye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
