Hey Kathy - yep got a Shandy going pass your glass over (Half glass beer, Half diet 7-up or sprite and a lime or two) if you don't have fresh a squirt from the green bottle will do.

A balmy 2F our there or for us cannucks -16.5c. Can someone please put some big logs on the fire and pass a blanket and a pillow.

Not sure where everyone went - I think they traveled out west to chat with the western gals - or it could have been that Kevbo guy smoozing the women.

Hey gals on my little 63 - you are putting far too much pressure on me I can not handle it - I have not even picked her up yet and you are wanting to know my progress on the restore - yikes

But I keep looking at those pictures and thinking what the heck have I done... but it was just a weak moment and then I snap out of it.

Some good things went on e-bay today for a 66 Safari - too bad the fridge was too tall or i would be picking that up on the way no body wanted the stove - but I have one out of the 99 stove or the 61 stove at my disposal at least one I know works. The fridge hmm still have not seen a pic of the inside so not sure how that restore will go - but have a fellow who does the coolers for real cheap on the dometics vintage units. Any other rust will just take some elbow grease and some fine new powder coating. So I could pretty much any colour I wanted.

Working on the axle - but not getting to far yet on measurements. The gentlemen is checking for me to see if it is welded or bolted - so that will determine if we can order and change out when we picker her up.

The rest of the day has been spent working on legalities with our Minor Variance Application to build a home for our parents across the way from our place at the waterfront lot.....bunch of beaurocratic red tape and GREEDY neighbours make for a very interesting time.

So this Rally is a welcome relief and a good excuse for a refreshing Shandy.....
