It the business your talking about is S&S fabrics, I already talked with them and they low-balled me at $.35/yard. Not gonna happen. Some of the material is from the 1920's and is worth hundreds of dollars/yard.

I had a guy low ball me on a special Singer machine for leather last night. He wanted to pay 300 bucks for a machine that sells for $1,800 on Ebay. Then got pissed when I said no.......

61* OC, no rain..........go start getting the camper prepped soon......I slept in today.
Hopefully the camper will be here by late afternoon.

Update:

Rained out.............a steady fine rain soaker..............After months of nice weather, the one day I plan something.
Did get the bad jack to pump up (don't trust it) and have the back-up jack at the ready, attached the "bumpers" to the front of the camper to stop it from hitting the front of the bed, and touched up the black painted plywood on the lower portion with a new rattle can coat, before the monsoon started.

Maybe tomorrow.

Afternoon gang. Another 9+ hour day of mowing and weed wacking. First thing this morning I got slapped by a bunch of wet fir branches while mowing. I was soaked an 15 minutes. I had to change my shirt and gloves at 10. I actually got cold. Isn't this the end of August?
