I actually played hookey from homework and worked on the '47 panel Saturday. Got about half of the gas tank (that I bought from toomany2count) wire wheeled. The brackets are sandblasted and primed, but not painted. I decided it was too cold to spray them, so I had to content myself with looking at them and setting them aside for either a warmer day or a day when it's cold enough to fire up the heater in the garage.

Then I played hookey from working on the truck and went out to Scott's place (48bigtrucks) another thing I've been putting off for months. Got the tour of his facilities (he called it his dream shop, but it looked to me like MY dream shop!) and got to see the work he's been doing on his '63, as well as his other truck and facilities projects.

Sunday, back to homework. One cool thing, though, during church the number went up on the monitor that means "volunteers needed in the nursery". So I went in there and ended up picking Joanne up off the floor. She's a Down's Sundrome baby and not walking yet. The best she could do was push herself along the floor on her face because she doesn't seem to have the strength to keep her head up. We sat in a rocking chair and played, I sang to her a lot and found out that she's a kisser. Big, sloppy, tongue out, wet ones. (I think she has trouble keeping her tongue in.) She can also say "I love you". I'm sure that's what it was... OK, it sounded more like "ah va va", but I'll take it as I see it. I think I need to go in there more often...
