I'm Baaaack!!..

Wow! I come back to life, to see that there are people making some serious progress around here, and I see also, there are some people that are exactly where they were when I last visited the board. Well, I have some good news, and some bad news. Bad news first: I havent been under my truck in about 5 months. Good news: My wife and I just bought our first home, and yes- its got a BIG ole garage! Now I can work on my 55 no matter what time it is, and no matter what the weather is like outside. I just wanted to say hello to you guys, and let you know you wil be seeing more of me real soon. (No, thats not a threat)

Rich -

Welcome back! It's good to hear from you. I was wondering where you went.

Congrats on the house. Now, just add AC, heat, 220V service and an air compressor to the garage and you'll REALLY be ready to go!

Welcome Back and remember that with a bigger garage there still isn't enough room. I have had to rent a storage unit to get the unwanted items out of the way to make room for the importat things. Good luck with the new home. I told my son when he bought his house the work has just begun. The to do list will never end but is manageable. Take care.

Thanks guys! Man, another week of pure hell.... Yeah, I liked the Western Nationals, and got some good ideas. Looks like another 2 weeks or so until the big move, but Im looking forward to being under my truck again. Once again, thanks for the welcome back, and well see some forward progress soon.
