I've always been into anything with an engine. We race karts right now. I haven't had anything in a while as far as projects. I inherited my dad's 98 silverado when he passed that I plan on fixing up once we are done racing karts. I currently have an 06 Trailblazer SS, but it's pretty much been kept stock.

I don't customize, but ever since I bought my first Tacoma x-cab 4x4 many years ago, I wondered how I ever got along without a truck. Now I just got a Silverado x-cab 4x4. It is the WT (work truck) trim, but with the blacked out package. . Because it's the work trim line, it doesn't have computer or radio controls on the steering wheel, the steering wheel is plastic, and the 4x4 shift is a manual lever on the floor, but it has the large V8 and things a guy wants like auto locking rear differential, low gearing for towing, and the blackout package comes with 20" black alloy rims. Wicked eye candy for $6K less than their LT trim package. It was the same price as used LT models with 20K mi.

My first truck was a Tacoma, and I followed that up with a Silverado 1500. I dunno, looking back on 170K miles on both, they were about equal with regards to repairs. What I do know is, I got a deep discount on the Silverado so that it only cost me $1K more than what I paid for my Tacoma 8 yrs before. Much more bang for the buck. Now with my new Silverado, I am Chevy truck guy...

You sir, are a REAL truck owner. 

In comparison, I'm a pretender...

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
