What are you doing today?

the day before the northridge earthquake i had brought home my big tanks to do some welding in the driveway.. when done i capped the O2.. but got distracted before i could remove the regulator on the other.  it was in my hall closet with my long hoses out across the living room ..  when the quake hit.. the ringing noises of the 2 tanks reminded me that the gas was still uncapped..  i rode out the quake holding them up and apart bouncing around in the closet doorway..

i still have a tiny MC tank with a turbo torch on it .. i don't even know where it is right now... i guess the search is on now..   you know you are in trouble with those when under a house and the flame goes out..

I picked up the rocker panel trim for my Buick today, I took them to a guy in Ft Wayne In  to polish. They look like new now. Then I went to Bontrangers Surplus to but some hardware, and some marker lights.

I just returned from 3 days at the hospital 100 miles north of here.  My daughter had her water break on Friday and they stuck her in a hellicopter and flew her to Great Falls.  We drove up and as of Saturday, we are grandparents again.  Little Jonah is 11 weeks preme and weighed in at 3lbs 12oz.  He is doing well and we will be making the trip north for probably the next 2 months or so.  When we left it was 40degrees and clear, snowed late Friday, and the road was closed on Saturday, and not much better on Sunday.  Pretty good today, I screwed up and took the Caravan instead of my 4x4.  I will do better next time, just a bit flustered on Friday.

When he's a teen ager he will complain about his birthday being so close to Christmas and how he get's short changed on presents but if mom would have waited his birthday would have been closer to Valentine Day. Nice when they come and they're healthy and safe. GPster

Had another fellow mention that it is hard to find a competent transmission builder in Australia for the older automatic  transmissions and drag race transmissions.

i told that fellow it was hard  for me to believe that no one down under could build popular  performance automatics or import rebuild  parts for the USA brand  race trans

[UGLY OLDS]

As you have seen Tony ...It's now one of the "Dying Trades" ....GOOD trans builders are hard to find ... Parts replacers are everywhere .....

Re-wired a couple circuits in my work shop.  Something I have planned on for 3 - 4 years.  Bought most of the parts & wire 3 years ago.

My tired ol body did not like the hunched over -  crawling in the attic

I may finish  that shop before I die .

That must be a disease. I have wire and parts for a few new circuits in the basement that have been laying around for a couple of years. We won't even talk about the laundry sink and plumbing parts that has been setting there in boxes for... oh, probably 15 years. There isn't enough room here for a list of my other projects that are stacked around just waiting their turn.

I spent the last couple of days working on the seat in the 32. I'm still a beginner at this and blind and senile. The previous version was white vinyl and black suede. I wasn't satisfied with what I had done or the way the suede was working. I bought ultraleather and went to work. It was really different to work with than the previous material so I got educated some. I'm not planning on another redo soon. There's some things that aren't perfect but I'm ready to drive my hot rod.
