I'll see what I can do, when I get to the other computer - this one has the old version of Photoshop, and the new CS3 does colorizing a lot better.

Joel I'll join the choir and ask you to " cool it" unless you're into beatings from Mom. Had a 5 bypass done 1999 but did not have an old truck to make me get out there and do something crazy. Get well. old trucks can wait.

I know how it is. I am trying to take it easy,also--but not able to quit on my trucks. I do a little every day. I do some till pain gets to a 7 and then I have to rest. I don't want to die either,although some might like to see that-haha!!! I have 3 pretty much done,and 2 56 F100s to put around with. Sandblasting and painting also.

Your wife.
Joel, I don't know you but, I do understand your condition. I got to the point where not quitting the smokes would have had me where you are in a few years. I managed to give them up. Still miss them once in a while but, the alternative is I can breathe easier without having to drag an oxygen bottle around with me.
Take it easy and let her get involved to help some. It could even prove to be fun. If I were you I would throw rose petals before her feet. From what I can see in the picture she did a great job on the front axle.
I am trying to get the lady in my life to help a little when it comes time to actually do something to my truck. I am still in practice welding mode only having the MIG machine for about 2 months now. I only get to play with it on Saturday mornings. My welds are getting to the point where I am going to start on the truck after the 4th.
Take it slow. Drink lots of water. Hang in there for another day.
