that's also why I start with 1500 grit paper. I like to sneak up on the "smooth".

I went into the Licking license office after work and took care of taxes and license for the camper. That hurt, but not quite as much as I was expecting. Did y'all know that Missouri now has permanent plate option for trailers? Since we're going to have this camper for a long time, I took the option and now don't have to remember to renew the tags.

RC sounds like fun, as far as the tire issue, about the only way to fix it would be to demount the tires or at least break the beads on both sides. And then run a grinder with a wire wheel and get the flaking chrome/rust off the bead area. Then you'll have even worse looking rims, but they should hold air better.
Morning folks.

Chip - do you have a splitter? I've got one that I'm not using anymore if you're in need.

Evening All!
John. I'm hoping to get with Wildcat tool rental to rent a high reach, off road fork lift. Cars will be dry with no glass, so they shouldn't weigh a ton. ...well, much more than a ton.
I got the devil Chevy delivered, an Acura MDX fixed and delivered, the cab stripped off the '84 Ford, the Mustang was dropped off for paint, and a tail gate showed up for paint. All-in-all, a busy day. ...especially since this overly aggravating insurance company called me 6 times today to check on the progress. They want me to be the insurance adjuster for the job and the guy is freakin' buggin' the crap out of me. "Didja' send off that information?" "Didja' get the pictures e-mailed yet?" I was SO close to telling this guy to go pound sand. Like I have nothing else to do but cater to this ya-hoo.

Good Morning Everybody!
I can't believe another Thanksgiving is rolling around. Be safe. ....at least we only have to go six blocks to get to Granny's house for Thanksgiving. Hopefully next year, we'll be hosting the festivities.
