That is a different Tiki - did not recover the one stolen from "The Tuckster"! Whoever took it bought themself a lifetime of bad juju though....wouldn't want to be in their shoes! [emoji33]

Thanks Baz,

You bet I sure will. Ol Henry is really starting to show his age. We think he is pushing 14 and now is showing signs of old puppers in the last blood panel taken at our vet. Now speaking of family, how is Wink doing with her challenges? Please give “ALL” the girls belly scratches from Henry and us.

That’s too bad your original Tiki is still MIA but it is comforting that the thieves are destined to have their testicals infested with 100K fleas.

Yup, need to move on getting the 150 Heavy back into the air. Two seats, 22 gallons, 100HP and 90 knots of screaming terror.... 1000’s flee its approach. Lol

Diggin the new Tiki and added lights. As well as your beach pic. We have got to start searching for locations were we want to go.

How much more life do you expect from it? Around here nobody would buy it.. maybe I'm missing some good deals!

Not sure if (lack of) interest in your area would be because of mileage/rust, but this truck has only lived in Atlanta so has very rarely seen snow or salt. I had to pay the ad valorum (sales tax) on the purchase when I got the tag. The retail (edit: book listed resale) price was almost $10k, which was more than $2k over what I paid. Craigslist prices are all over the board depending on condition of course. Mine's an '07 New body, below is an '07 Classic but is a comparison I found in a few minutes this morning.

Nice looking '07!

In case it's of interest, I got my '02 back in '05 for approx. $12K and it had approx. 90K miles on it. I think it came from the Georgia area as well. I'm over 200K miles now and she still runs great. 4.8 Vortec, full size (8') bed, extended cab, 2WB, 1500 base model. I added power windows. :)

I saw (what I think is) a golden eagle this morning - right in the middle of So Cal suburbia!

Need to get off my arse and get it in annual then spend the $$$ on a new sky-tec key starter getting rid of the old pull style and an updated 406 ELT.

Then I could commute to work in it again

I like the hanger! I got my fixed wing rating in a 1968 Cessna 150 back in 1990, no headsets, just shout into the microphone. They’re neat little planes.

Is that a T-6 canopy in the background?

Thanks! It’s been a fun project. Took me sitting on a county rental availability waiting list for 9 years but it gave me a place to store all my aviation schtuff... which I didn’t realize just how much I had packed away under the house. Oh yeah, P-Car items too including one of the 68 912’s.

No headsets, dang that is hard on the ears. I switched over to the Bose A-20’s and boy is it nice. I have a mic in the cab just in case but hope I never need it. Nobody could hear me via the background noise. I flew a lesson in a Citabria with the door off “just because” and that was loud. The 150 is a fun little plane, easy flyer and very affordable both in fuel and insurance. A good friend has a Longeze he is prepping me to fly while he is away. Now talk about a fun ride.

Yup, it is a T-6 canopy.

The other ones are cool (great Glen 6 hour shot), but this one is a gem as far as photography goes. Very cool:

^^^Good times. 79 was the year that it snowed Thursday night before race weekend, and then was beautiful the rest of the time IIRC.

Spent many Octobers at the Glenn,camping with sons and friends. Cost a $1.00 to meander through the garage after running was done,up close and next to the teams.remember seeing them using WD-40 to clean the cars! Best of times.
