Why didn't you tell her the roadster would be educational??

On the past Wednesday I had another "skin thing" on my cheek froze off via liquid nitrogen... I am trying to not scratch the area raw. It itches like a beach!

thankfully it was a type of sun damage that is not cancerous.

Messing with econoline axle brakes, other tid bits.

Cloudy , windy kool day here. About 43*F at the house, wind is about 10 - 15 mph

It was 68 degrees here. 40 mph wind. I have my sheetrock project roughed in and took a break and took the dr650 out for a run in the country. Even dodging the tumbleweeds, it was a nice ride for the end of November. I saw a 59 iImpala 2 door hardtop and a 59 Elcamino in a weed row while I was out. There was a 53 Merc 2 door hardtop that I may try to buy.

-10C here all day with nasty north winds. I should have been out clearing snow for my customers but it was drifting too much. I'll be out first thing tomorrow morning, though.

Since I had a "free" day, I spent the afternoon putting up insulation in the walls of my new shop. I managed to get about half of it done so far. If everything goes well I'll have the blow-in insulation done in the ceiling within the week, too.

Even with no insulation my little 5kw electric heater kept the inside temp about +10C (50F). I found it quite comfortable to be out there working in just a long-sleeve shirt. I can't wait to have it fully insulated...it'll be like heaven in there!

Spent some time cutting tubing for the T frame. Front and rear crossmembers are welded up,body mounting tabs are fabbed up,just have to make the firewall mounts and farthest forward apron mounts. The original running board mounts will fit on this new frame.I still have to make the forward fender mounts as well,then its time to fire up the welder.

Had minor surgery on the 23rd and that kept me in the recliner for the next 3 nights. Went back to work on Monday--too soon I should say, but it is a lot better than sitting at home when your wife has a day care in the house. Back to the doctor on Friday and hopefully back to work on the coupe. Was given a 55 2door post and a garage full of parts and put a down payment on a Corvette. No where to put the stuff---but oh well.

Still recuperating from elbow surgery last Tuesday, and probably will be til the end of this month. But, we went to see "Unstoppable" with Denzel...it was great.

Hopefully I can test it tomorrow.

You guys are more exciting than me. I finished scraping the kitchen ceiling tonight. As soon as I find a texture pattern I like, I'll start putting the house back together.

Taxpyr , when it comes to computers I am rather "special needs" . Pictures are beyond my abilities. Wayne sent me an email about how to post pictures and I couldn't even get my thank you reply to send. I think I will get some pictures to post and then get my daughter to try and post them . I have a photobucket account that has some Anglia stuff on it chimpkoose is the name I use there too. I have a lot of stuff I should be showing pictures of including a mini chopper .
