oh my god.
Guys
I have finally started working on my Ford again.
Is this a dream?!

Given I did a front fender liner, wire wheeled, primed, and satin painted. Just to try a new product. We will see if I continue with it tomorrow. .....If I do, then next week should be a game changer.

Very busy Sunday for me. I mowed all of the property including one of the horse pastures, trimmed all the trees so they won't scrape on the motorhome, cleaned the pool and I ran the trash to the dump. I also put some weed and feed down on the front yard grass. I don't think my front yard grass has ever looked this good. Little man and I also rode around the neighborhood on the golf cart for a little while.

Ordered another digital thermostat for motorhome for the back bedroom. I think I am going to replace the power steering filter and the air dryer cartridge since I don't know when the last time they were done. I am very pleased with the progress so far.

The regular dump in Rome is open M-F but we have a household garbage drop off station open on Saturday and Sunday in Cave Spring.
I need to get started on the 1979 Ford but too many things going on. I told the wife why don't we go to the beach for the weekend, she wants to wait till after the wedding. Called about renting the Armory in Cedartown, the guy is suppose to call me back.

Not expecting a ton of people but trying to make it the way they want it. She wants a church wedding, he wants a farm wedding. Just coming up with different options.

They both have ideas for what they want and they want to go the cheaper route but also get what they want. I am not going to go crazy over it. I'm just throwing out ideas, in the end it will come together.

Ag-Pro is the sponsor for the Rome Braves semi-pro baseball team Friday night, so everyone has free tickets.
We got a few sprinkles but that was about it.
Got the new thermostat in today, will install it Saturday.

Work halted for the week... maybe?
That good or bad?
