Due to delays with materials I did a quick, down & dirty temporary topper for the new cabinet while we wait on the special order white quartz. No we can use the countertop space for Christmas dinner.
Hey, it works and will get you through.

I started working on my friend's Dodge Magnum yesterday and the parts showed up a day early this evening (Rock auto is pretty damn good) I guess I know what I am doing tomorrow. The week after Christmas I am going all in on my Mustang's to do list. I have heat in the garage now so there are no excuses. Merry Christmas everyone.

Well, I hardly ever HAVE TO work on the mustang, although a new engine is in the works. The block is inthe shop for machining....as it starts to progress, I'll take photos and post 'em up. In the meanwhile, I today was hired at The Blower Shop, obviously a company that builds and sells Roots type superchargers. After building engines for almost two decades, I decided to venture out into a new career,....I don't want to be an "old dog that can't learn a new trick", i think I'm gonna enjoy this......

Pulled the Ariens out and gave her the once over twice to ensure she’s race ready (STA-BIL did it’s job again) since we don’t know if were getting 3” or 15”… I wish I had that delta of being wrong or right in my job!

All jobs get stale after a while even if you like them. It takes me a long time to make a change. I may be to loyal for my own good. Good luck with your new venture. Merry Christmas.

Since the weather “forecaster” - human person or whatever we are supposed to say finally got it right, I will wipe down her rearend and put the cover on for a few months after I burn a couple gals of 93 premium throwing snow in the am.

Did 4 loads of laundry, vacuumed, and cleaned the house. Can't wait until my wife gets completely healed and able to do the housework again. I have always helped out, but I've been doing it for 3 months straight now and am burnt out. Need a long drive in the mustang to recoup. lol.
