WITH ME. I just did it again. Drove all over the state of fla. looking at bronco stuff. I had to pick up some parts close to tampa. ( across the state from me) and got to meet "Capt. Bronco" ( Randy) who is a member on this sight. We talked bronco for a while and I bought some parts from him and loaded them up. Randy had told me about a guy about 30 min from him that had 2 broncos for sale. he was not sure of the condition but it might be worth a look. Go I had hooked up the trailer and pulled it with me. ( First mistake) Well I get to the guys house and meet Tim, the owner of the 2 broncos. Well 2 broncos is not quite correct. More like 1 1/2 broncos. Tim shows me the first bronco and I just naturally assume that this is the 1/2 bronco and complete one is under the tent. (Mistake #2) turns out this is the complete bronco because it runs and will drive around. I have to add the word " complete" to my list of bronco descriptions like rust free and ready to drive home, ect. Well Tim and I had to agree it was not complete because it was missing doors, bed section, front outer fenders, grill, you know little stuff like that. The other bronco turns out to really be half a bronco. It had a bed on it but not much more.. So what do you do at this point? I start looking at the parts and see if there is anything good thinking what can I get that is good. Well Tim , who is a very nice guy tells me he wants to get rid of all his bronco stuff. Make him a package deal offer for everything he has. What do you do at this point? My smart side was saying, "just go home". My everything is good bronco side is saying. "No stay and make him an offer." Well long story short is I got some more parts and pieces to do something with. (Mistake # 3) I brought the 1- 1/2 broncos and a full truck of stuff back to the house. I am so glad it's dark out. But seriously, What is wrong with me?

Did your wife go shopping this morning and you're just subconciously trying to make a preemptive strike on the bank account?

I dont think there is anything wrong with you. I hope to be where you are now ;D

Cool I could use some company in here, You see the little dog died and I could use some company out here. It's raining too, but if you lay against the back wall you don't get too wet.

The only thing wrong with you is you're a man without a project. For 30 years you've had something to do, whether it be carpentry or mechanical and right now you don't have anything else to do. But i guess now you've fixed that issue.

FYI, I've still got that half a hard top you could add to that half a Bronco.;D You can make a trailer out of it.:D

You need a pic of all the other projects in the back 40 to go along with the Digler!
FWIW I have a trailer load right now up here in Portland of stuff I left here 2years ago to take home tomorrow. Also picking up a 2/3 77 tub in Redding on the way down thanks to Regshawn!

Hope this new haul will solve your tub problem Roger!

As long as you got a real good deal,(and since you brought them home I assume you did) there's nothing at all wrong with buying extra stuff you may or may not need. You could become a parts vendor with all that stuff. Bronco Bax.:cool: Could turn out to be a lucrative business for you, since no work at the present time.

Sorry, Bax. Someday it will all come together. There is a reason for everything. Atleast that is what I am told.
