Good to hear from you. Everything takes a lot longer but I am getting some progress. Almost all my current new parts arrived so I’m hoping that this weekend and beyond I’ll be able to make some real results happen. We’ll make it out to Kingston sometime next month or so.

Hoping to be there next Thursday evening don't know for sure, but planning on it. Look forward to seeing you.

Thank you so much. I have a slightly more aggressive version coming too but maybe I'll wait for an hour or so

Those are very kind words and I really appreciate that. Yeah, gadgets are kind of OK, but I would really prefer a human being offering harmonies. But there's certainly a place on my paddleboard for a harmonizer. And my dictation app always spells pedal board as paddleboard. C'est la vie

Thank you very much. I think I was mostly just playing with the harmonizer at the time

I read the description, after posting.

@alrtgy9642 that's perfectly fine. You're one of the few people who actually watched my videos so I'm very very grateful

Thank you so much for the kind words. Hip replacement went reasonably well; I still have some challenges ahead, but I have no reason to complain. Sorry for the lack of new content, but I hope to address that soon.

Thank you young'un. 'Preciate that.

BTW interesting handle.

Joel, my apologies for not replying until now. It seems I'm checking my comments less and less these days. The year you were born, that's a common desire for us Car guys. That's prevalent in my world too. I'll let you know if I find one of the year that you were born, and thanks for watching my videos.

And my dictation spelled your name wrong, another apology coming.

@@JeremyWilson thank you

@@JeremyWilson lol yer good bud

We sold the truck to my son-in-law three years ago. I happily would scratch on the points if the truck were on my property any longer. And by the way that's something that I did more than once. It was a great truck, great steel, a rotten bed, but a bulletproof engine and an exhaust manifold that you could not find for love or money. So ask me about welding cast-iron.

Thank you for the kind words. Sadly my afflictions have gotten in the way of my ability to play guitar, so I am left with uploading old video.

ow, I'm very sorry for your afflictions :/ I have a lot of respect for older people!!@@JeremyWilson 🙏 I really enjoyed your performance in this video and I really like that Gibson!!🎸

@@RickHardcore again, very kind words, much appreciated

Sorry for the delayed reply. I own a Wagon and a pickup so I'm just going to leave this one alone. Thanks for watching.

Brief update, the owner of all these trucks having passed away, they've been sold to one gentleman on Camano Island in Northwest Washington state. I have his phone number and after checking with him would be willing to share it with you if you'd like.

Unaware. Will have to do my research.

@@JeremyWilson We'll have to get together, and talk about great music of the past. Seems like overnight we had great FM rock, then it all went to disco. I was in TX, and we all had switch to C&W. That was back when there was still Western in C&W.

I get no prize for a four month delay and replying to a comment and an invitation to get together to play music. And the words "I apologize "seem inadequate. There was never any country in my world growing up to be Frank, is my musical mother rather looked down her nose at it and I sort of adopted that position myself, to my regret in adulthood. But now, I have room for some country in my world. I'm not claiming to be a cowboy, but I do have the hat and boots.

@@JeremyWilson Not a problem.

If by explanation you mean how this video is proceeding or was made then I'll give you a little insight. I played the first intro bar to show you that it was me doing it. It was recorded on the Looper at my feet which then plays it back as long as I want. On the computer screen is a piece of software that lets me record music. I have a digital interface between my guitar equipment and my computer. All of the stuff is very mysterious to me, but it's a ton of fun to play with. The last component is the podcasting software that I am using. Someday when I'm courageous enough I'll try and do a live broadcast, and in each case with each piece of software I am so far behind the curve it's embarrassing, but it's still fun.

Thank you so much. He is also one of my most favorite artists. In particular I like his late stuff that he's publishing now on KZbin. Barricades to Heaven! Black and White!

Michael thank you for that and I appreciate you watching my videos. I have been wanting for years to dig into this truck, but I had or have not the right skills. I've got all the right tools, and I'm working on developing the skills. When I do and I think I'm getting closer, it's going to be a frame off restoration of this hot rod not an original Willys, with rebuilding the small block 350 part of the enterprise. I think I'm going to just try to refurbish what's there rather than upgrade dramatically, although you never know.

My apologies for not replying earlier I missed your comment. Yes indeed they are great pick up

Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching the videos

Have begun experimenting a little bit with graphics for another project. Thank you for watching the videos as always

Hey, thanks! Slow progress.

Thank you so much for that. I'm clumsy but working on it.

Yes, my apologies for the lousy production values. I have recently not been paying any attention to this work, and I will be better at it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, though in my heart of hearts I already knew it. And thank you for watching the videos.

David, my sincere apologies for not replying. Apparently, I still don't understand the technology. That truck has been moved from Western Washington to eastern Washington, and will ultimately be rebuilt with a Cummins diesel by our son. He is however busy raising a family and holding down the kind of job that travels a lot. I think you are however right and it was a 262. Thanks so much for watching the videos.

David, long story spanning the last couple of years. Short version is it over in eastern Washington near Spokane with our son, who wants to put a Cummins diesel in it, but has way too many other projects first in line. So it's still gone to a good home, it's still in the family, but it's going to be a few years. Short answer to your question is "yes, it's good steel" and thank you very much for subscribing and watching the videos

That is a sacrilege brother putting a diesel engine in a truck from the 60s!

@ringokidd387 you'll have to talk to my stepson about that since he now owns it. Thanks for watching the videos.

Doing what I can, preparing a bit for winter. Needed a functional garden tractor as our property has a steep driveway and multiple tiers out back where various sheds and tents need visiting with a yard cart. Thanks again for watching.

This poor abused tractor has sat outside for about 5 to 8 winters in the Pacific Northwest. Long overdue for some service and cleaning

I got mine when we bought the house in Poulsbo. The PO would be disappointed, if he knew it sat out in the weather.

You're my most loyal viewer/subscriber. I apologize for failing to reply in a timely manner. It's not as if I'm swamped with thousands of comments or hundreds of viewers or even tens of viewers or even hands full of comments. So I'll do my best the next time I upload something that you comment on. Thanks again for watching.

@@JeremyWilson Not a problem. I probably the worst about follow through. You've got nothing on me.

Not in the short term, no, but thank you for asking. One can never predict what happens in the long run. If I remove the cigarette lighter and turn it into a USB outlet, then the ashtray may come in handy for stashing cords or something. Haven't thought it through.

Wait for the rebuilding, you'll laugh I'm guessing.

@@JeremyWilson Probably do the same myself.

Thanks. Appreciate the support. We shall see...

Yeah I know that feeling well. Somethings in my world that I thought would be done in a year or still not done in a decade

Never fear, I will find a way to make it much more complicated and expensive. Thank you again for watching.
