It depends on the guy who owns the land now and what he wants to do. SO no guaranty I'd even get it yet..

Howdy Rod!

Rained here all day.

Being that we need the rain that would make it a good Friday.

Smokey here again all day and hot and dry..
Installed the rotors and calipers on the panel today and changed out the starter cable on my old Chevy this afternoon, charged the battery and checked the charging system as well as seeing if I had a draw on the battery

It's easy enough to back out the panel and with the car on skates it rolls very easy. I had the pickup on skates for most of the build on that..

I just thought it would be a lot of work pushing the car around.

We're just barely making it into the 80's lately. Little cooler this week but with the humidity it still feels up there..
