    Sorry to hear about Savvy Ashwatcher. We love our dogs and losing one can be almost like losing a child. RIP Savvy. Sounds like she was very well loved.

    Great looking truck you got there! I’d be calling it Savvy’s truck...

    Truck looks great Ashwatcher :yes:
    Sorry about Savvy.. No words for that heartbreak. It seems all of us animal lovers feel this, and sign up to do it again when our broken hearts heal.

    Well, my friend, so far this year you've now experienced loss and gain. Of course the loss is harder to take but you'll always have memories. I know, as it has been many years now since our beloved "Buck" left us. He's still in our hearts.

    Looks a lil better now-It was filthy inside and out-even took the rubber door seals off and cleaned behind- black crud like it lived under a pine-used toothbrush to clean around back glass, emblems...Razor bladed and newspaper cleaned all glass-I had to quit for the day- IMG_5651.JPG IMG_5658.JPG IMG_5653.JPG It is 13 yo but come on...

    Lookin good Ashwatcher

    Never got into the full detail work on any vehicle I've ever owned.
    For some reason it's never been a priority for me. :eek:

    That looks like a new truck! You’d never know it’s 13 years old. She’ll make a great wood and tractor hauler!
