Hi guys and gals... Guess I will be the first to say Happy
December..... I am sure PD 2 is hunkered down for a cold winters
what have ya... LoL!!!!! ;) ;) ;)
Horst is up there in the Norther part of this world getting ready for rain...
I am just sitting here on my front porch"closed in" with the pot belly stove and the dog fast asleep.
You all take care of yourself and stay warm!!!!! Later gaters
Hunkered down..HA! Its 14 below and blowing 20mph in kuparuk. Time to work! ;D
Yea, that thar is T-shirt weather for you .... Lol
I have been neglecting my Clipper - instead concentrating on my 78 Dodge truck (Navy issue D-100 - heavy duty everything - spotlight, heavy duty bumper with built in tow hitch, etc.)
It won't be mine for long - gonna be my son's first vehicle on Jan 2.
Just need to fix the horn - install new wiper blades, and fix the passenger's side window crank.
Eventually needs routine tranny service, new steering box, and new carb.
Has new tires, major tune-up (new everything), replaced manifold gaskets, vacuum hoses, etc, and a "$50 rustoleum paint job" - a nice rich brown with cream colored rims and front bumper (came out NICE - check out rustoleum paint jobs for cars on google)
He is stoked!
but I'm a bit pissy though to be honest............saturday is my only day off...........and if the weather holds as predicted - it will have rained 8 out of the last 9 saturdays.....sunny all work week......pissy rain on my day off!
Clipper fix-it list continues to grow......... :-[
Oh Lord, LOL, I know what you mean!!!!!
I started to work on the new carpet and to only find out that the "NEW ^%$#@*! sewing maching I bought is screwed up and the shop I bout it from is closed for a week.. sigh!!!!! I mean when ya spend 800 bucks on a machine it should work!...
I have been spending most of my week replacing the two quarter pannels on my 71 Chevelle SS. Now that I am coming to the end of the task at hand I have to get ready to paint the car.. Plus reupholster the front seat....that is if I can get the machine fixed!!!!!
I found a place for gas tanks and they will give me a call on MONDAY if they did not lose my number!!! I have to get the front and rear breaks replaced and replace the air line to the air bags..
Hopefully sometime this month I can paint the cab.... I am going to
change the brown color of that silly stripe to a Nice Blue metallic..
maybe a green metallic,since I already have that paint. I have to reroute the C B antenna cables as they are not very professional looking and I want that look. Plus I can't finish rubbing the rig out when it rains as it has been doing on and off....grummmmmble....
So I sit here in my little pile of POOOOO wishing that I could do something on a real Bitchen Saturday...
Glad all is well with you!!!! and if we get the chance to hook up
in Jan or Feb we will!!! Take care:) John
