Went out and started cleaning the truck up a bit, mostly around the doors since that area gets neglected a lot. After awhile of cleaning all the dirt I started working on some rust I had building up on the door sills. Sanded the spots down and now I need to get something to paint over the spots to prevent it from coming back. Also found out that I might was well get ready to replace all my weather stripping along the doors, all 4 of them. I have cuts and holes all over the place, I'm amazed water didn't find its way in during the 2 years it sat. That will be something that will have to wait until sometime in the summer after I save up some more money.

Checked my mileage (box stock '98 1500 club cab 4wd 5.9l auto trans) after a full tank of strictly around town driving (in a town whose traffic signals are not synced): 12.0MPG. Not great, but not bad. Not bad at all for mostly short trips in traffic.
I also finished up my mod wish list... it's a good thing the kids are grown and gone or it'd have to stay a wish list and never become a shopping list!
