I'm still alive....

I just got an e-mail asking basically where the Hell I've been. Easy....House Restoration. Makes rebuilding the Barracuda seem like a Revell model kit.

I haven't had the `Cuda out since Easter Sunday and I'm going into withdrawals... Once in a while I have to start it up and back it out of the garage to get to something and I've resisted the urge to get lost for a while. Maybe tonight I'll go to a local gathering up in Whitestone... provided I'm not shot to Hell.

Building cars produces a mess....



A little elbow grease makes it nicer..... I asked my Buddy to come move his car and I put him to work for the day. :-D




I'm trying to get all the outdoor work done before the weather gets too hot. Aside from cleaning the yard, me & my neighbor agreed to rip down both fences and install a new one after we nuke all the poison oak growing between the fences and cement a band to prevent it from coming back.


A rear door in going in where the window is on the right side. The motorcycle (which Amy has forbidden me from riding....) is going to a co-worker. We're also pouring cement footers for a small deck.



Then we can start inside....


This is where my upstairs toilet blew-up and necessitated the replacement of the drain pipe. It also created a new hole in my kitchen ceiling, which is straight from the 70's, along with the rest of the house. Mucho work awaits us.


That's a set of Centerlines and slicks in my living room. Both my parents are pinwheeling in their graves right now. My Father will red line....

So that's where I've been.... Spending money like I'm printing it and working our asses off. Just looking forward to that first grilled meal being consumed on the back deck. And having room again.

See you guys when I get a chance. Enjoy the cruise season!
