Buying in the area is the plan, but still at least twelve months out... we're still recovering from a few financial owies from past lives...

We've driven by the old house quite a few times...but not by mistake yet...

We've been pretty productive so far today...we got by the bank to get some paperwork notarized, got both of the grown ups hair cuts, I had a shower and a nap, and am going to job B shortly.

Then I'll have TWO days off. WOW!

 

tcbofade....2 days off sounds good to me....well i got the chrysler hemi for the 39 ford tore down today..i guess we got lucky and it looks to be a low mileage engine.. after sitting around for at least 30 years that i know of the engine was clean inside and turned over free..just a touch of surface rust in one cyl. so the rat-rod ford truck build is back on i hope i can get my lazy butt up early tomorrow and take the bus for a ride.... maybe stop by and surprise a few if ya'll

 

is anyone one else up and ready to get started on a fun day..

 

I am

 

so how is the weather up on raytown..... if i had more time i would come up and see myself

 

We're here too! As soon as this coffee is done, I'll be cutting, welding and mudding on the '64 Chevelle. The bus can fit across the street at the laundromat if you park all the way to left as you pull in the driveway.

 

well all i have to do now is get my lazy self up to the shop and fire the bus up and point it north..i wanted to check a few things before i left..havent really touched it since the tenn. trip

 

It's Sunday...I have today and tomorrow off.

I'm taking the girls up north to a town with a population of 9, but is hosting a flea market weekend. 500 vendors.

In a town of 9????

Oh well. My girlies are awfully good at filling the Escape with crap that you wouldn't think would fit...somebody hide my toolbox...

 

Terry, in a town of 9, everyone should be at the flea market. So there won't be anybody to complain about the crowd or noise!

 

Well, Old Rusty decided to live up to his name yesterday Pictures below.:





Should be "clicky" pics, IF I did this right. So now I can add around $300.00 to the $X,000.00 that I already need. Figuring on doing the whole thing from the engine back. At least he doesn't sound any louder. Wasn't loud to begin with, guess crapalytic converters do quiet one down. Don't need a tailpipe, just enough to get it back past the cab.

 

I had to do that on mine. I used the glass pack that came on it and then made the rest out of pipe I keep around. It took about $20 and an hour to put a new exhaust on my truck.

I got to visit with RC today and the girls got a tour of the magic bus. (which they thought was cool.)

I also did some rust repair on the Chevelle. Just a little more welding and I can start the mud work.

What I started with.



Rust cut out.



New metal welded in.

 

looking good alan..you got alot done...i guess its a good thing i left when i did so you could get back to work...if i wasnt so lazy i could of helped ya slap a few pieces of new iron on the old girl..i dont think it will be long before ya start adding some primer color to it...

.... i have to thank ole rich again for picking up that hitch for me...it sure pays to have friends like him..... i just wanted to let ya know i made it home..anti-freeze leak and all..ha ha ha

 

Rc was great to see ya and the magic bus moving under it own power. No problem on helping out with a parts pickup, thanks for coming so far outa your neck of the woods to pick it up.

Alan its looking good, keep us posted. Good evening to all, I think its grass cutting time tomorrow, again already....... And work on the flat bed a little, hope it cool as it was to day.

 

rich..with the bus my neck of the woods has really expanded.ha ha ha ha ..i love driving this thing around...just to see peoples faces as i buzz by em on the hiway..

 

Would you believe that I took BOTH of my redheads to a flea market/swap meet, they BOTH had green dollars in their pockets and the only one who actually made a tangible purchase was me??

They did buy some soda pops and various fair type um... cuisine... but neither of them found any junk that they needed.

I found a new Ford baseball cap for $6, and bought 20 small rubber duckies for 50 cents each.

if y'all don't remember why I need 20 rubber duckies, I can remind you...
