At least it has not been a heavy rain. More of a steady rain for the most part. This storm is moving out right now. Then we will just have teh winds to deal with.

I don`t like heavy winds, with rain it`s even worse. We may get a shower tomorrow but it`s better than snow.
I went to an eye specialist yesterday too, all is well.

Sorting tools and putting them away makes for a dull day around here John, 9 hours over 2 days and I'm still not done. The pile of boxes and crates just doesn't seem to be going down and the shelves on the walls have been getting fuller, maybe tomorrow it'll start looking like something has been done around here. We still have 10 days above 0 ahead of us, hopefully it'll last until the end of November.

I spent a bit of time in my shop today, I know what you mean but it does look better and a bit more organised.

Every day spent in the shop brings it 1 day closer to having it done and the end is in sight.

Good to hear there is light at the end of the tunnel Perry..

It was a busy night, a little cool but dry.. We got several things done.. Not necessarily what the boss might want.. The place was dirty and needed some attention.. So blew down and swept up the area and restocked stuff.. No pre inventory tonight..

I've been saying that for yrs, I have to learn not to get more projects and fixing things. It's a never ending cycle.

Sounds like another really busy night Steve. Is there ever a quiet one?

Will likely have to wait until spring arrives Morris, getting ready to order a new stereo for it so have to wait until that is installed before putting the console and passenger seat back in. Also need to cut out a small patch in the bottom of the drivers door where the paint blistered due to a pin hole I missed way back when..so that door is going to need to be clear coated after the repair..

We still have some decent weather for cruising John, it may not last as flurries are possible next Friday and Sat.
My favorite Bigfoot.
