It always amazes me that when l try to spend time finishing my ski that all kinds of other bs gets in the way! I give BK crap for getting his done but can't seem time to work on the circus.
Last few weekends have been spent working on the house getting ready for company next week.This weekend (today) l had to finish a job and then spent the rest of the day getting leaves up and mowing my yard.Saw my 75 year old neighbor (he has heart troubles too) raking his leaves and thought this will take him forever.So l ended up going to his yard and blowing leaves to help him finish.
After that, it was beer thirty.Sooo tomorrow looks clear right now




Happy trails

Yeah definitely is how things go. It’s why my SJ took so long. But every little bit counts. I would sneak into the garage and put 5-10 mins in every once in a while just to keep the ball rolling. Doing the same thing with my truck now. I was outside last night with a flashlight trying to get the thing off jack stand n have wheels put back on after a month. In the end it pays off n it feels like a huge accomplishment. Good job on helping the neighbor. I’m sure he appreciated it.

Quit your whining! You southern boys... try turfing In 0* weather in front of a torpedo heater. That’ll make you a pro.
Small one car garage to do the turf,too much smell,Smitty! And l worry too much about blowing up.Just takes one spark..
Is this going to be ready by Daytona?
Gonna try to get done before and come down to tona a few day early to tune

Reading the dangers listed on the Weldwood can,should be enough to scrare the poop out of anyone.Somewhat extreme but worth taking precautions.Beside the fumes even with a good mask is enough to cause me to wait till a little warmer weather.

Years ago company I work for had a crew installing carpet on some steps in a house using contact cement. The furnace ignited. You can guess what happened next. This was before I started working there.
