Gentlemen, and ladies,

Here it is, a fine Tuesday morning and as I look back at the thoughts and dreams of this posting and recall what I was trying to get done over the weekend I feel a bit disheartened. I did get to lean on the fender of my truck while sipping a frosty beverage (or 4) but as for actually rolling it out of the garage and making some progress....nope.
On saturday I met my dad and my brother and we went for a short motorcycle ride down through the valley, I didn't get back until after dark andhad to go to sister-in-laws house to help her move all her belongings (marital bliss has gone into toilet for her) got home about midnight.
On sunday I ran some errands, did some chores, moved sister-in-laws stuff back to her home (marital bliss still sucks for her but her old man is now the one moving out....ugh)
On Monday I went out banging around the hills with the family and my uncle. We had a little picnic lunch out in the boonies, found tons of fossils and sharks teeth, and in general had a great time. Spent evening grilling steaks and sipping frosty beverages and telling lies.

All things considered...a good weekend (if I don't think too much about in-laws)
Glad that you all had a good one
Bobby

Mission accomplished. The first cut at bodywork is now compete. There are a few places where I'd really like to redo it. Right now, I'm trying to decide what I'll settle for and how much "Featherfill" will cover.

It is official. I have forgotten where I put most of the parts I took off a year ago. 1 year seems to be the half life of my memory.

Weekend????

There was a weekend. I missed it again. $#@!@^%$# The board of aldermen in their wisdom agreed to let me keep the rolling frame with the engine in my backyard, if I would build a wooden fence, six foot high, around my concrete padio. After 80 foot of fence and pounding over 1000 nails and many frosties, I think have worked it out of my system, I think. At least, now, I have a place to do minor work in the backyard area. My wife helped some,held the level, I think they call it bonding. I didn't have to go to court and pay some lawyer. There is always next weekend. Have a great day, everyone,chuck
