My grandparents are all gone. First one passed in 83. Second one passed in 87 (day after I graduated college). The last two, my mom's parents, passed within 3 months of eachother in 1993. I would give anything to get to talk to them just one more time. So much to say. Everyone call your parents, your grandparents. Hug 'em if you got 'em. Because you never know how much time you have left with them.

The seed of the maple tree was and still is known as a Polly nose in NYC area. You split apart the seed end on a fresh one and it will stick to the bridge of your nose. Kids running around with these seeds standing straight up on your nose = total silliness. Sarah, you would look so cute with one on your nose too.

[@user-ph5bb3om5i]

Sarah tries to clean the 1994 Ford Ranger makes it very clean inside and even outside. Little does Sarah know about all that stuff in the truck is very dirty, because it needs to be done cleaning inside and outside, even though it was really bad inside. Really classic.

Don't forget that you still have the seat frames and sliders to de rust and paint. I'm sure that the frame and running gear will get the same treatment so it will end up as one of the best Rangers in the country. Award for best small 90's truck at any show for sure. Peoples Choice!

[@mickeyjuiced]

Allo Ms Sarah, other nicknames for your helicopter seed include Wing-Nut & Whirlygig.The term was based on the way the seeds spiral through the air as they fall from the tree. The seed comes from Maple trees in the US (Sycamore trees in the UK, which produced helicopters that shared the name). It's delightfully moving to watch this labor of love with your Granny's truck , you literally glow with every mention of her & every improvement you make. Not clear if her truck is yours now , I certainly hope so because I couldn't bear to watch you part with it.

[@CarFul]

Looks mint and brand new for sure! Can’t wait to see the frame restoration though 👍😀👏🏻👏🏻

[@mikeconstantine6084]

I am somehow fascinated by your OCD, I knew when you got this ranger there'd be many episodes and detailing at cleaning it upgrading it fixing it, Most of us just go to the car wash and use the vacuums, not Sarah! I'm also impressed that you know what an A10 Warthog is!🐧

[@mcviegas2566]

You make watching a detail job beautifully fine trust me!

[@erikstreda5980]

Nice job, turned out amazing so far. Cleeeean. For the bolts, you could get them derusted and new zinc coated at a shop doing galvanizing. That would be the perfect solution so they don't start rusting again any time soon. And usually you can retrofit old radios by adding a stereo-jack to it. There are tutorials about it on the interwebs. And then add a bluetooth-to-stereo-jack device.

[@buickboy92]
