Good Morning Everybody!
Yeah, it came down pretty good here as well. I think I'm gonna start back at the shop tomorrow and take one more day off. The insides are doing great and the hole in my side is starting to close. I have no intentions of pushing myself very hard. Maybe an hour or two to start and if I get tired or achy, I'll come home again. I just need to be back in my shop building stuff. A week twiddling my thumbs is making me crazy.

G mernin y'all. Rained pretty good here too. Spent the weekend helping other people and playing with my daily driver, no more smog pump or smog pump noise. New ground wire for the battery made a big difference too. Beetle went home yesterday and he took some business cards to hand out.

Good Morning Everybody!
Lee. Good to hear from ya' again! I'll get with you on that trailer. I'm gonna need something before the end of winter. I really should get off my butt and build the one I got from RC.
Ed. I have things that go bang. I also have a hotrod shop and do fabrication all day long. Maybe a partial trade towards the bed for building a new one? We can get together on that if you want.
I'm up early today because Tiff had to work, so I had to be showered so she could change my dressing before she left. This isn't like swapping out a band aid. She has to pack the hole with with a special gauze before the bandage gets put on. That is NOT something I'm willing to do by myself.
Anyway, I think I'm going to continue on with building my model of EQ today. If I can't work on a real truck today, I guess a model is the next best thing.
OH! Curt. I have three of my trucks for sale right now. .....just throwin' that out there for ya'.

Good Morning Everybody!
RC. Does the wagon move under it's own power? Do you need me to come down there and help with something to get it driveable?
I'm off to the shop this morning to get the '73 fired up. I'm looking forward to saying all my dents move under their own power.
Jeff. I'll get your truck back in and do the injector and see about borrowing the computer for the trans in the next few days.
I have another semi long term project coming. My old bosses Thunderstang. It's a 2003 Thunderbird skinned with a '65 Mustang. I have to make a few body panels for it, so that should be interesting.

Good Morning all! I'm not getting my emails all the time when posts are made and lo and behold you guys went 4 pages. All caught up now.
Ol Big Red is on the battery tender, nice to start him up with no effort...heck, I didn't have to get in the truck!
Went on a date to see the Eli Young Band this weekend. Very good concert.
Rich, unless I missed it, you haven't had much time on your Big red....
Have a great day all!

That question for you Alan....is a how is the recovery going/and or what do you have planned in the next few weeks other than Christmas?
Or some time after that, at least before I get on the road for work in early Jan. I would like a hand getting it ready for its next state insp and so forth.
Yes Jeff not much time at all for ol red, so it sets waiting patiently.

Rich. I'm back up and running. You tell me when you want me there and I'll be there. The day doesn't matter to me.
I got the '73 fired up before I left work today. That means ALL of my dents run and move under their own power! YAY!!!!!
