Sounds like a fun day.
I'm glad you drive it while thinking about your plans. You get the chance to get to know each other. Kind of like Dating before getting Hitched.

Glad to hear someone's making a little progress, I haven't been able to touch my truck in several weeks(too many projects and not enough time) . The next few weeks don't look too good either . Keep it up and you'll pass me before you know it.

Remember that every day you do something to it is another day closer to DRIVING IT. So my 16 yr old tells me.
