Been a while since I posted so figured I'd do a quick update.

I got the front end aligned on the 37 shortly after the last post in May. That left getting the exhaust cut out cables in putting the front sheetmetal on and start driving it. Within a couple of hours of getting the truck home a dust devil came thru the arena and tore up the roofs on a couple of the tack buildings. I'm not boarding horses here anymore so I decided to just go ahead and pull the sheds, shade and fences down and haul it off. Over the next couple of weeks me and a hired man pulled down and hauled off a bit over 6 tons of stuff. In the process I also had to cap off some water lines and replace the main water shut off valve for the property.....always a fun job especially on a live water line.

In the middle of all this mom back in Illinois ended up having to be moved to an extended care facility (nursing home). Moms doing well, it was just time. As we'll be putting her house on the market in a month or 2 I had to make a flying trip back here to help sort thru 90 years worth of stuff and get paperwork straightened out.

I brought the Cadillac powered El Camino back this time. It's doing good and is always fun/comfortable to drive so that's a plus I guess. It's probably a good thing as I'll be hauling a trailer back to Illinois with some furniture in it.

I see photo bucket is holding my pictures for ransom.....haven't decided what I'll be doing about that yet......project for another day.

Anyway I'm still alive......just tired and sore. As for the poor old 37 Dodge, as has been its story since I brought it home 15 years ago the project is once again temporarily on hold.
