Must be a Thanksgiving hangover  :)  Hopefully they're working on their cars and will be posting soon.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I been in the garage working on my frame, getting ready to take it to the sand blaster this week. Had to rebuild the front part as it had been butchered up by the previous owner luckily I got the parts he had  removed just needed a few dimension finally got those thanks to Ned who I met on the HAMB. He was a great help. I sent him this way I don't know if he came over or not.

I had to help my son and his family move into there new home.  That took up most of my Thanksgiving weekend.  I hope to get back to the wiring on my 33 this weekend and update the thread.

The weather the last few days here in my part of New England has been unusually warm so I've been digging an old tree stump out of the back yard. One more day of decent weather and I should be home free....Good exercise.

I had to fill the space I had hacked out in the shop to begin my '26 roadster build with my son's broken Saturn. During the 3 day episode of diagnosing the problem and getting it home several other issues on other vehicles pushed the roadster back down the priority list. Why do these things show up with the first snow? Well at least I have a clean spot in a heated shop and none of the fixes are too tough. ;D

I admit to being side tracked as well.  A friend is expecting his first grandchild and has me working on a project for him.

 We started out with freezing rain and then snow on wed and thurs.It was really nasty so we didnt go south for thanksgiveing.The plow wasnt working yet and it took untill sat to get that running. Then the new holland decided to be stuck in high range (electric shift),stilldont have that sorted out. spent sunday and yesterday pushing snow,it takes me 4 hrs + to do it all.I was backingup to the mule barn to take another bite and blew a brake line on the truck,backed into the hitching post,took out the taillight houseing and creased the quarter panel.Yesterday our belgan cross mule went down and wouldnt get up,thought she coliced,called the vet,he came out,she has a fecal impactment.So he puts a tube thru her nose to her stomach and we have to pour 1 gal of a water/laxitive mix into it every 1 1/2 hrs.,and give her a banamine shot every 6 (pain) untill she clears it out.$275 please!So nancy and I have been up about 36 hrs straight and no end in sight.I'm going to take a pic of her feeding tube,I'll put it up later. I have to go to traverse city at 2:30 for a follow up appt with the gastro dr.Dont know if I want to shower and change or not. With all the mule puke and slime Ive been sprayed with last night,I not only look homeless,I smell that way too! I'll bet they would hustel me right thru!
