I keep in touch with Mike, (Skee), DeWayne, (dagen_1) Josh (FastOrange) & Dave (88GMCtruck) on F/B fairly often.
Dave is around every here now & then.
His '88 has already won TOTM 2x, & I have no doubt it'd 3-peat after the re-do. The details are amazing.
You still have a 400. A spuce up here and there and it would still be a candidate for TOTM. Did you ever find a replacement for the wrecked one?

Yup! Still have one!
Nope. Didn't get a replacement for the '97. Tough to find one comparable at a decent dollar these days. After that one, I'm fussy & that equals stupid bucks in today's market.
The '98 IS getting spruced up. The receiving end of the insurance bucks from the '97.
But it's been tough to get on it, between the fires, floods, mudslides. The Sat. dish taken out 2x in the last 4 months, & now F'n stupid cold temps freezing not only the water intake lines to the house, but also the lines to the cistern from the creek AND the 750gal. cistern itself(!) 400' up the hill, was frozen damn near solid.
The mud took out the power to the cistern shed. So no heater nor heat to the lines. Caught too late. Didn't know know the power was out up there till we needed it! We had water. Why check? Doh!
This B.S. system is getting the big fix this spring.
And then...we were snowed in for 10 days. Melting snow in the bathtub just so we could at least flush (!!!)
I can get outa here no problem. But am I getting back?
The main road is 1.5 miles away at 50' above sea level.
We're at 997'. Something like an average of an 11.5% grade.
17 corners.
Only 2 houses higher up the mountain. Rain in the valley? Snow up here. Their clouds = our fog.

Looking forward to these!

I'll cast nominations in all but the long roof and 2wd categories.

May I suggest a 'modified' category too?

I started working on the sticker idea, when I knew I was going to restart TOTM. I was even going to pay for the stickers myself, but @618 Syndicate offered to help, and He got in touch with me, and offered, to print them with his wife's help. I am very grateful they did this. The stickers are on there way to me. So once we have a winner, I will PM the winner, and ask for an address where they want there sticker sent. This will be done in a PM, so I will be the only one with there contact info. I didn't want to mention anything about the stickers untill I knew I would be able to get the stickers.
