What's everybody doing?

A cookout sounds good but my friend Steve that did the shows and that stuff for me passed away a few months ago. He was someone I called a real friend and I don't use that word lightly, but I knew him very well and will see him again someday.

Sorry to hear that! My condolences to his family. Glad I got to meet his this side of eternity.

Thats sad and sorry you lost a friend.................

Thanks guys.

I finished up a water pump on dad's truck, did a little shop cleanup, and cleaned up the Camaro yesterday, then had the steamer out to clean up an Air Horse today that I have to start on Monday so I went on and cleaned up the little red fast and furious mobile, it had a lot of mold on it from sitting lol. It's going up for sale soon, some of this stuff has to go that is sitting all over the place that I never use or drive. I think I'm finally getting a little caught up on my plans for this year.

The Camaro is also going on a little cruise to Steak n Shake for lunch one day next week.

Played hooky for a few hours today and finished buffing the fast + furious mobile. It's outside now with detailing goo sprayed on the engine compartment, wheels + tires. It's 99.7 degrees out and the heat and sun will make the goo lay down real nice in about 30 mins lol.

I still have to do some touch up, paint + put the rear spoiler back on, give it a good coat of wax, and go over the jambs but then I think it will be done and ready to sell.

Fine looking machine. What year is it?

It's a 2004, 2.2 5 speed. It has a header and custom exhaust I put on it about 10 years ago, the computer has been reprogrammed, 18' wheels, the ground effects are urethane not fiberglass, it averages over 40 mpg and is a lot of fun to drive. The Tien adjustable suspension allows you to raise and lower the entire car and each strut has 3 settings to change the ride depending on if you want handling or a nice ride for a long trip. It may not have the power like the fast and furious mobiles but it does have the handling.

It looks orange but it's the GM Victory red, cameras just don't do well with red in the right lighting After I got it cleaned up I want to keep it but I want to keep everything (I have a car or truck for every occasion and don't go anywhere lol) and I'm trying to break that habit. This one was the Summer time only fun to drive severe handling and gas mileage monster. I took inventory yesterday and I still have 15 vehicles right now even after selling the 4 other trucks.

I know, I need to focus...

Took this afternoon to mow all of mine today then dad said it was too hot out so I just got back from mowing what he hadn't done lately. It's still 95.4 here and tomorrows supposed to be worse with rain coming in Wed so it had to get done. Whenever I get hot I just think of the cold and it makes it all good lol.

I am up to cleaning when time allows as usual and trying to get some neglected things done lol.

With all the work going on lately I've gotten behind on a lot of small projects and cleaning the place up.

Everything is put away from the new 312A hill mower project, Air Horse project, 50 other little jobs, the front tires from the old 520 mower were sitting around to go on the 520 snow blower tractor, the welding bench was a total wreck and it's cleaned up with my old Stihl chainsaw that's finally getting a little maint and put up today, and some of the loose ends of blasting and organizing some things that were on the blasting cart from all the deck parting is done. If it goes in a Fastenal bin I like it cleaned up and ready to use or it just makes a mess. I got to the extra pallet rack shelves last night to finish filling them up. Another 4' rolling shelf is cleared off and on a pallet, it was all upper hood stand parts.

The rest of today is moving and organizing things to 4 more pallets that will be on the bottom 4 empty spots in the pic. That rack is for smaller tractor hard parts.

The next 7 days will be really hectic trying to work, get organized, and a lot of floor space cleared to make a spot to put the fixtures from the Fastenal store we just got all the fixtures from, then it will be another big mess for a little bit. Next week will be an 80- 90 hour week then I can slow back down to 70-75 again lol.
