I did the SUV rear brake upgrade on my father's Sierra this morning. Then torched some brackets off of a rear axle for the volksrod. Uneventful day, wasn't in the mood to do much.

I never have a true day off Tony, always something to do. I think Friday I am going to pull some of the interior out of my 72' and cut the mangled 1/4 off. I have been avoiding it.

The guy that I bought my Nomad from about 10 years ago had two sons. Both in their early twenties. He had the Nomad and a 34 Ford coupe. When he found out he had cancer and only a few months to live, he told the boys they could each have a car. Neither one wanted a car. They are into games on the computer.

I did something very foolish about 1 AM ,could not sleep so I grabbed my phone and posted 2 trucks and my 81 Trans Am on several FaceBook group sale pages for sale .One truck is a 65 Chevy short fleet truck that is very rusty and I called it a parts truck . People went nuts over that thing and wanted to know if it ran and drove ,dependable ,all for $1200. My damn phone has gone nuts all day .I deleted the Trans Am add on the Pontiac sale site because they were a bunch of pricks .

Ordered new Mastercraft Avenger tires for the van. 295/50/15's.

Also ordered the resin and 1708 and CSM Carpet to finish the boat's hull. As soon as it warms up enough to glass. sweating 65 degree temps to come for that.
