Today I detailed the engine bay. Also I painted the screws for my air box and a fender brace. GMC red of course. Used rustolem red spray paint and applied many layers. Results were ok considering rust level will probably remove sand and repaint the brace next weekend. I tried to replace some other hardware with stainless stuff since many bolts are rusting. Unfortunately Sears did not have the correct pitch even after finnally asking one of the "pros".
To make the day complete I found a ground that was loose going from my hood to a random spot in the engine bay that didnt seem to be atached to anything. So I made a repair to that. Got the truck back together just in time to take mom out for an early dinner.
Mission complete for the day.

I gave the silverado a new license plate. The generic state plate was driving me crazy. I wanted the small mouth bass plate but it really doesn't look good with the color of my truck (or any truck for that matter)

Hauled a bunch of mulch for a customer; hauled a bunch of tools and other crap to my house after we finished. Picked up some new uniforms for my new employee :D. Tomorrow- I'm going to try and fit 2 yards of mulch, 4 Alpine Currant shrubs, and 11 rolls of sod into the bed (yes, I'll take pics). The bed capacity is 1.5 yards, so this may present a challenge...
