So I go to buy a nice stand for my lady. This was her Christmas. The guy owned the apartment and was selling the furniture that was left behind so he made an offer I thought I couldn't refuse. So this beautiful drop leaf table with 6 matching chairs was $35 and the stand and a recliner as well as a dresser. Can you believe that coming home with the bouncing trailer it busted 4 of the 6 legs on the table. My luck just is not getting any better this week

Sounds like my luck.

Just finished installing my new GPS speedometer. It would look better if I mounted it into the dash but I'm not ready to do that yet.

Nice job Fred.
I just have to change out the black ring to chrome, then paint and install my new dash insert.

There is one for this coming Saturday, during daylight hours :eek: . One of the really good spots to watch the launches fro south base is on the old Hwy US 1. It was all a 2 lane when built and routed by the easiest way for the dozers to make it flat enough to pave :lol:. There's a small mountain range between here and the next village to the south 3000' elevation maybe. Well, Hwy 1 had to cross it to get through. most of that section is a total of 30' wide maybe with much of it right next to a long fall to the valley floors. One good spot that actually has some shoulders near the summit, the knowing launch spectators use, they get there a couple hours early. Saturday launch is so close to lunch time I can smell the BBQ pits goin already :lol:

As part of the initial build on the 73 Cuda, I am buying and setting up an insert for those style gages. We did a template of a rally dash insert and will try and bend it out of aluminum from a drop at the recycle yard. Also want to 3D print an adapter to run the round led trailer lights on the back for a budget/rat build. If it works out we will upload the info to a site so others can use it in the future.

Wow that will look great. Pictures when you get it dialed in.
 
Still snowing off and on. Tried the plow, it plows just like last year. Didnt bother with a full clean up as snow was blowing.
Mouse in my office :BangHead: terrorizing everything. I know where it got in, proceeded to fix it, self levelling cement. Made a mess everywhere. Then water pump crapped out, couldnt clean up the spills.
And Daves car, dead battery,3 flat tires and p/s pressure hose leaking. They are a ***** to replace…oh, and Kimmies car is a no start. Forgot about that..piss me off:lol:
