i coulnd't live without one... when it's hot out it's always like 68 in the basement.. i spend most of my time down here...
My 65 Parts manual arrived.... down side is it arrived the day after I left for a few days and sat on the porch in the weaweathfor.a while 
Wasn't supposed to ship that fast.
Had it out on the back deck drying out today... seems none the worse for wear as it had some "shop use" anyhow.
It has the 65 Accessories insert... kinda cool

Hoodoos
A portion of my garage shop is underground and surrounded by trees. When it is hot outside and sunny in the summertime, I leave the garage doors closed and it stays about 8° cooler inside the shop.
Just picked up my Vietnamese wife from work. Said she wanted to go by and get a cake for her co-worker for her birthday tomorrow. Went to the grocery store, ended up with a full cart of food. Go figure
Very cool! Never even heard of them. Looked up- Drumheller came up on article for top 10 hoodoos in the world.
She’s picked up on how to be an American wife quickly….
So when did yall marry and how did I miss THAT?
You are the last to find out.
Guess you need to stop in more often (or backread like 1700 pages) 
Yeah, well I'm terrible at back reading. I just don't do it. Plus I don't drop in here that much.You are the last to find out.

Morning folks.
Up and at it.
Up and at it.
Good morning enjoying my first cup of coffee.
Mornin...where is everyone?
Not sure.... I'm in between sets... Scott is floating about.
oooph...I wish I could get into exercising. Maybe I would feel better
Impact gut them way easier.
Little over 2 years ago. I really didn't want to let the cat out of the bag until I was sure she would be here this year.
Well, I am pretty proud of myself!
It may be no big deal to a lot of you guys, due to your experience and knowledge with this stuff. But for me, getting the bearings and seals, all new wheel cylinders, front drum brakes, rear drum brakes and new parking brake cables installed is a huge accomplishment for me. The car has been sitting on the jacks for weeks. I finished it all up yesterday and finally have the wheels and tires back on the car and can check this big box off my list.
What a great learning experience and now this will be much easier in the future. I appreciate all the help and comments.
A couple of days ago, I also installed new rear shocks in the stock mounting location. I have done shocks before, so no big deal other than another box checked off.
