Howdy, howdy boys and girls.

Can you believe it's Labor Day weekend already?

Don't tell anybody, but I'm going to have a whole day off! Woot!

Had a fun day at S.D.C. My back and legs hurt, but it was fun. There were almost NO lines there today. It was a great day to ride the rides.

Tomorrow I get back on the street rod with a vengeance. I gotta get it rolling by tomorrow so I can start moving the shop.

Alan wait till I get it finished tomorrow and put red in there with both doors open and have tons of room to walk and work around it.....

I needed to give it a good cleaning and move some stuff around, getting red in there to work on it motivated me.

I even vacuumed the floor, but still can not find my 30 ft work bench or welding table...lol.

Storming right now here in Kansas City. Not much rain, just high winds,thunder & lightning. Lights flickered a few minutes ago.

I blame Terry since he actually has a whole day off.

I'm about to go out in the shop and get busy on the rear suspension of the C-cab. Hopefully I can get it done today so I can start moving stuff into the new shop tomorrow.

Rich, don't worry about the trailer. A friend of mine is trailering down his S-10 for me to work on so I told him to leave his trailer too.

After I fix his truck and move the shop, he can come pick up both. I guess I better get started on building a new trailer. Steel is getting cheaper and the cost of a new trailer is steadily going up. At this rate, I could make money building them. Years ago, I could buy a new trailer for less than the cost to build one myself.

Morning all!

Since the wife took Mom to Urgent Care in Rolla this morning, I got to choose what we were having for Mom's birthday lunch and party. That's kept me pretty busy this morning, but I've got a lull in the action until its time to start cooking burgers and brats later. It looks stormy here, so I might be doing it in the rain.

This afternoon, I'm hoping to finish drilling out the final mounting points on the framework and start getting that put together. The wife suggested making a jig since I have to build several of the frames so that will be next. I knew I married a smart one.

We're getting the offer of a big storm here but just overcast and windy thus far. Looks like I'll be working on my welder and watching the US nationals qualifying.
