School’s Out for SUMMER …. Almost

Mile: 111,074 It was getting near the end of the year so I snagged Action Jackson and we went strolling around driving and getting lost. Eventually found our way back and he filled us up with gas. Thanks AJ! Please like and share so everyone…

Let’s Go Mets!

Let’s Go Mets!

This was a special day. We got three generations together to see the opening day of the Mets! We were able to sit right behind the dugout and capture all the players. The crowd went electric when Diaz hobbled out on crutches. My father hadn’t…

Some days we just like to chill with Ole Red. This was one of them. Got the ole truck out of storage and over to the office to do some laps on his bike. Then we did a little fichin’ as our buddy Tim would have said. Man we miss that guy!

Please like and share so everyone can follow along on our adventures in this old, beat up pickup truck that puts smiles on our faces and others as we meander from adventure to adventure!

Mile: 110,921 Sometimes we just drive for the sake of driving. Nothing wrong with that folks! We got some supplies at Home Depot and Jackson got to try out all the new mowers. Can’t ever see me with an electric ride on but whatever floats…

Mile: 110,888 Action Jackson got to visit Papa at one of his sites and he was lucky enough to go for a spin in the new excavator. Many they don;t make them like they used to. All these screens with fancy stuff. Nothing like making…

Some times we don;t have enough pics for a full post. So here ya go. Jackson loves playing with legos, excavators, skid steers and in the steel yard where the steel for our project is stored. And if you have;t guessed he loves to eat! Love that kid.

Ho, Ho Gotta Go

Ho, Ho Gotta Go

Mile: 110,780 Well this is one of the saddest times of the year … post Christmas! We have to take the tree out of the truck, remove all the lights and put away the sleigh until next year. Still gave us the time to horse…

Toys for Others

Mile: 110,820 When I first bought this beat up, old pickup truck my goal was simple … get the family in the truck, unplug from reality and drive. As time has gone on it has turned into something much, much more. Yesterday was the Odd…

Ole Red Christmas Tree

Ole Red Christmas Tree

Mile: 110,765

Our 1,500 lights were added to Ole Red for a total of 7,500 lights this year.

It was now time to add our tree. We were able to locate and find some old style ceramic bulbs like we used to have as children.

It was then off to Scott’s Nursery and Landscaping in New Milford and we found the perfect tree. They have all kinds of roping, trees, cemetery boxes and more stuff than you can imagine. I took some pictures so you can see and support local!

Our master fabricator who puts the Chris in Christmas, Uncle Chris helped ensure that the tree will stay in place even traveling down the highway. After a quick test run it was time to go on the Town and that we did!

I promise you will see us OR hear us from a 1/2 mile away. Be sure to come up to the truck when we are going through the shopping centers for some candy canes or if we are at a light, pull up to the truck, put your window down and get ready for a barrage of candy canes to be thrown in your car!

STAY TUNED as our gift card giveaways will be starting soon.

Give us a like, follow and share so we can keep spreading our adventures far and wide!
