Yeesh. Times flies when you're having....

I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated anything on here.

So here's my rundown: Eliza is crawling around everywhere now and is likely to start walking in the coming weeks. Her brother, Everett, is 2 1/2 and talking, learning and exploring up a storm. These two are an absolute blast and I can't believe how much they entertain me and how much I love watching them learn and grow.

There is still 3ft if snow on the ground despite being spring and the end of March. I'm still trying at this LH door and it's still in my kitchen. I can't access the back well enough to hammer & dolly to control the warpage on the butt weld just above the body crease line. I'm trying one more time and then I think a full door skin attempt. If that fails, both doors are going reproduction. My cousin did this and I am awaiting a reply to see how his fit. Ugh. Recently, I cut away a loonie sized piece of rust on the upper LH side of the firewall. Well of course, the unseen rust was 10x larger than that and I had a gaping hole in the firewall to repair. It is tacked in place and will need to be dressed and metal finished. I'm finally getting some ambition up to start working again. I have 3.25 years to finish this truck based on my original goal but making puppies hasn't helped at all.

I don't have the hour updates tonight. I will have to double check in the shop.

Oh and another thing. I don't know how many of you Bolters like gaming (Nintendo style) but my brother in law let me borrow his Nintendo Switch with Zelda: Breath of the Wild . I got it in December and it have been playing it toooo much. It's strange how the truck hours dove off the deep end when that bloody thing showed up. I just returned it, but with Corona virus causing lock downs everywhere I'd better delegate more time to the shop when my family is sleeping. 😬
