Cars

These are 2 cars I worked on.(in the slideshow at the bottom). The 33 Ford tudor custom convertible I did 90% of the build, It was done for my boss and the first build i've ever done. It was a fun project, I look forward to another. The 57 Belair is my bosses Father in Laws car, I did the wiring,and helped with alot of the assembley, the car builder is Laddie Shaw, a well known car builder. It was cool to work with him on this car. Next up is a 71 'cuda Hemi, I'll hopefully be able to work with him on that car as well. Depends on timing, since he likes to work late at night,and I have to leave for work early in the morning, that leaves little time to help with it.
Laddie wants me to do the wiring though so somehow all will work out

Winter of 2008

Here it is February 14th and it's still snowing and BLOWING, Valentines day never looked so good. We Haven't had this much snow in the valley in years, (according to the farmers) So we are Looking forward to a very soggy spring, Much like the spring of 1997 when the army core of Engineers were called out to Pump the Excess water Over the Dam so it wouldn't wash out. Hopefully the watermaster will be a little smarter this time and pull the drain on the Resivuor soon enough.
We had to bring home a bigger snow plow the other day, Our driveway was getting too skinny, The snow has really been piling up. We haven't had to shovel the roof yet(not that christopher is not begging to go up there)but it is getting close,I may have to do it this weekend
as much as i hate going onto the roof in winter.
The other Day My Boss suprised me with a little Extra, He gave me one of his old
4wheelers, it's a polaris 400 4x4, a '95, it's been used hard but taken care of too, it does need some work and maintenance done, but we(especially Christopher) are excited to have it,and are very Grateful to Justin HAll(thats my boss) for giving it to us.
