It rained down here, so I went puddle jumping with the wife and baby.
Nothing serious, just plain fun.

Moved some junk around in the driveway so I don't have to park in front of the garage anymore, took a girl out for a ride on the bike (She gave me a ride later :D )and built a chin up stand so I can start p90x.

P90X hurts in a good way. At least it does for me. :eek:

Had a great time with Scoutman67, he brought me another Wagonmaster I bought two years ago in Grant Co. We drank way toooo much whisky and told way toooo many lies. I also got to watch Gary do his Mcgiver deal, take a battery, can of gas and a leatherman then start a 800 that has not ran in lots of years:smokin: Then for an encore grab a screw driver and rebuild a carb then drive said 800 around for a while and onto the trailer.
So now I have two Wagonmasters, I heard these things are rare WTF.
Also Sunday had a guy that owns Profab here in Billings show up ay my place with a 73 half cab Scout.(for free) He is a Bronco nut that has a distain for Scouts:homer: This Scout is a mostly rust free tub really solid start for the hand control project, I will be starting that project tomorrow so I guess the Scout showed up right on time. By the way the last one he forced on me is the white 500 caddy Scout :smokin:

I'm 5'11 and 145. I wish I was about 175. I think that's an ideal weight for our height.
Good luck!

Close - but he's in Billings, and there's a whole lot of nothing between there and here, so Wes wouldn't want to haul that Scout all the way to Helena to drop it off - though he has held on to various things until I come over for a race and then loads me up with Scout junk he couldn't bring himself to throw away. :D

This is about my favorite Scout out there right now. I'd love to do this to my Traveler, but right now I don't have the time, money, talent or drive. It's good to have goals though right?

Thanks!


I think she is going to get a facelift this winter. My front end is pretty haggard and I want to drop it about 6" and run 54s. So the plan is to move the front axle forward a couple inches to clear the motor, drop it, tube the front end, and add my Scout 80 grille, hood and windshield. We will see how it turns out.





I like goals!
