The Master of Disaster Repairs came over today and fixed my broken muffler. I was ready to say @%#& it but Jay is like a machine, he just goes ahead so calm and collected and makes the repair that anyone else would have gave up on and does it in a short amount of time, A true Craftsmen. THANKS Jay!

Striped the doors and removed them and the hood and deck lid on my '56 to get ready for paint. Nothing but a shell now, what was I thinking?
Cheers,
Bob

 Wait a minute.. Slacker you speak of Slacker, well it looks like the Slacker had Miss-eee Katie doing the work. Gees you've got nerve you do realize that there are child labor laws against this style parenting. What did you do threaten to take her key, Iphone and texting rights away?
You ought to be proud of your parenting.

Jack did dad give you that new muffler that you found at the scrap yard? It was laying out I figured he took it and gave it to you.

Today was a good day....., I finally had some time to work on my car and I got my Megasquirt fuel injected engine running. Also, I just got back from my zoning board hearing and my variance for a 30' x 32' garage has been approved!!!!!!
