    Default How Dh spent his Father's Day

    Well the whole weekend actually. Friday afternoon he came home from work early and began working on his truck (the one that was stolen in November) He took the clutch he had in his 84 toyota (crashed up) and put it in the 82 (the blue one that was stolen) then he got a new (well, from a junk yard) window to replace the ones the thieves broke out. Works great. Now all we gotta get is a new ignition and she'll be put back the way she belongs. LOL< so right now her "key" is a screwdriver! Sigh

    All we saw of dh all weekend was his feet as they stuck out from under the truck.

    But he is happy, he saved a buncha money by using the 84's clutch, and his dad surprised him with the window, so he spent next to nothing to get the truck running again. So at least he was frugal.

    Glad he had a productive fun fathers day weekend. How nice of his Dad to surprise him with a window.

    What a smart guy to use the the parts from one on the other. You have done a great job in "frugalizing" him.
