Time for another update.
All the extra ‘indoor’ time has led to an unprecedented phenomenon: I am COMPLETELY caught up on rebuilding carbs for the first time since last summer! I finished my last carb at 8pm last night. In speaking with a gentleman from Simi yesterday I was able to offer him a one week turnaround!
I still have a few steering box rebuilds to get through,but that won’t take much longer either.
In the meantime I’ve been mulling over my son’s condition, a now unemployed teacher for the rest of the school year. I called him last night and told him my back was hurting me (which is true) and asked if he wouldn’t rather come down here and help me organize the shop instead of just sitting in his apartment. He was happy to oblige. So even though I am apparently now going to have to postpone the 30 year celebration, I will still be moving towards something more worthy of videotaping for posterity.
My daughter is still in a holding pattern, but our granddaughter must know something is up. They said she’s getting a little fussy about being cooped up. In desperation they put a movie on the TV for her last night, something they assure me they have not done before.
