Bed work done

As much as is going on in my life nowadays, I managed to finish my new bed wood and strips and re-painted the bed interior. It turned out excellent! almost as good as CIAF's!! I took some time off to go to Charleston to run my Dad back and forth to chemotherapy and radiation then came back to honeydo's. You guys know- Momma ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy!! Oh, the point was, as soon as my 16 yr. old daughter finds the camera battery charger, there WILL be pics!!

Way to go Jim, With all that energy you must be a fairly
"young" guy, otherwise you make me feel pretty guilty for not getting with it on my paint.

Come on now I'm 65. It isn't so bad, well maybe things take a while longer to get done but thats ok. The one good thing about being older is Ford now pays me to stay home and play with my toys.

Jim, cool. I'm sure you did just fine. Get them pics posted soon so I can drool. Wayne, I notice that you and Chuck both have the posting status of " elder user " and found it kind of funny that it matches your ages of 63 and 65 years young.. Thing is, when looking at your truck I just thought you were real young or real fast or real healthy , or I just love that darn truck so much. Your truck is freakin drool bait.
I digress I guess..................Jon

PS, I'm 52 but have the body of a 68 year old.,

Gavin, Thanks a lot but you have a truck anyone would envy yourself!

Jim, I gave up on my camera battery pack and just substituted the right amount of AA batteries and it works great. Any chance you could do the same temporarily?

I am only 40 technically, but I have the body and health issues of some one much, much older.

We want to see pics as soon as you find the charger.
