We'll jump on it, when he gets home from work. It won't take long, then back outside. Dawn says NO Projects in the winter, lol. She doesn't like scarping windows in the morning. Happy wife, happy life.

Likely just with some polish type protection. My wife would like to buy the same rims we have on the pickup for the panel because they are easier to keep clean and being chrome shine a lot better

I don't mind the idea, not sure what I'd do with these rims then. Doubt I could sell them for what the news ones would cost even though they are much more expensive of a rim..

The rims on it now are three times the cost of the smoothies on the pickup

Hello Shaun, John, Steve, Perry, Grant and all who lurk here. I love the smell of bacon cooking, on cold Sunday mornings!
An EF-1 tornado is pretty severe one Shaun?

Unfortunately the engine is seized, I`ll take it apart and see what`s up with it. The 302 in the 53 runs nice so for now I`m more interested in the AOD. My right shoulder has been really sore the last two wks so I`m glad my son helped me..
How`s your day shaping up Steve?
Have you ever considered getting a tent type garage Grant?

That is on the lower end of the scale Morris. The ones we had were towards the upper end of the EF-1 scale. They had a wind speed of 105 mph
.Enhanced Fujita Scale
EF0 65–85 mph Light damage
EF1 86–110 mph Moderate damage
EF2 111–135 mph Considerable damage
EF3 136–165 mph Severe damage
EF4 166–200 mph Devastating damage
EF5 >200 mph Incredible damage

Still doing pre inventory at work.. today is my last chance to finish it since I am off tomorrow.. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel though.. How is the day shaping up for you?? Resting the shoulder sounds like a good idea..

Even on the lower end of the scale is bad enough Shaun, wind speeds of 105 mph is getting up there. When we have a winter blizzard the wind never gets near that high.
You have pre inventory before doing inventory Steve?
I didn`t stay out long today John, it was cloudy, windy with light rain most of the afternoon. I had my eavestroughs cleaned a few wks ago, they were pretty full too.

Pre inventory is to make inventory easier for the inventory people.. I check and label top stock so all they have to really do is count the sellable area..
