My question is, "why you worried about who is or isn't in here yank?"
Good to hear from you nonetheless though buddy.

I’m still here. Not doing much work on the 41 yet but still planning on it. Woke up this morning to a bunch of sleet so I’m not too excited about going out to the shop.

Working on my ‘75 Blazer in my new shop. It’s nice to work in comfort when the mercury drops.

George.... That's not a shop. Shops don't look like that. And, pray tell, what constitutes "working on my Blazer?" Checking your tire pressure??? Even Joyce's side by side thing looks museum ready. Apparently you need some remedial training in proper shop maintenance.

Real shops look like mine below -- dusty, unorganized (to the casual observer) and with 15 different projects in process at any given moment....

Essentially, if you don't have to move anything to get to anything ... its not a real shop.

Work on it.

I'd post a pic of a real shop, but I'm afraid of a film crew from the TV show "Hoarders" showing up, and me being institutionalized.

2-Ton and Vew,
Thank you, and yes, that does make me feel better about myself.

Sweet, as cold as it is in the garage, you'd be better off with the bus and the huge heater. We hope to extend one of the vents from the bathroom to vent into the garage to at least take the edge off out there.

So, when are you coming back. grin

I'm thinking Sweet and some of the other ODSS Gang will meet up with you in Townsend for the Southern Stovebolt Jamboree.

Just looked up stony Creek and it is about 1,000 miles from home and 15-hour drive, one way on crowded interstate highways.
Set a date and I'll think about it.

It looks like I did Carl. I guess with all the chat going on with the Southern Bolter’s Jamboree, I must have lost my mind.
