Sunny, warm and breezy here, perfect weather to be outside.

Car show tomorrow in Dryden is where I'll be, today was in the shop getting frustrated with the steering linkage. The bracket I made had the wrong angle on it causing it to bind so started making a new one....again..lol

Well the rain has arrived a bit early and given the choice of playing in the mud or scampering indoors for a coffee and cookies I chose the latter. Got about a third of the apron at the back gate done and will finish it tomorrow.

Hope your all having a productive day.

Trying to make a steering column with 3 different angles wouldn't be my idea of fun.

The shafts are only 5 inches long and there has to be a support on one of them. Second attempt at making a bracket but was still too hot to handle before coming in for supper. Will be a Monday job now..

Destressing at a car show on Sunday sounds like a good idea.

Just a chance to go for a drive, haven't done enough of that this summer...Last year between the 2 trucks we put 11 thousand kilometers on them. So far this year only 450 km on the panel and 5500 on the pickup..

Bummer about the steering linkage John but at least you know what you`re doing. It was cold and cloudy by supper time so I didn`t bother going to the car show this evening.
.No rain here Perry, about 6 drops twice today was about it.
