This past weekend was spent taking my wife garage sale-ing on Saturday for mother's day. She picked up 3-4 more projects to redo for the barn sale in June. We were able to take the hutch and vanity to the barn where the sale is also. So, things are coming in and out of the garage. They're just not my stuff. Sunday my brother and I spent the day working on my parent's fences. My Dad has been down and out as far as real labor intensive stuff goes due to his surgery last year. I mowed the fence rows around their property with a push mower. (I'd like to kick the farmer in the nuts that farms around their place. They have gotten so close to their fence that a push mower is all you can take back there. When we put in the fences we left 4' of their property on the field side of the fence so we could mow it easily. Well, that went to crap.) I told Dad I'd just use the super H with the woods mower to mow it later. It will dang near cripple him to mow it like I did. Anyway, we also replaced some fence posts and started fixing wire on the fence. We'll have to finish the rest this weekend I think.

A couple weeks ago my little girl started pre-school. It's hard to believe she's starting Kindergarten in August.

The billet door handles showed up. Now I have to decide if I want to polish them or just clear them. My converter is finally on it's way too! I ordered some spacers for the front wheels to get the track a little better looking. Since I used a dodge D60, it's about 2 inches narrower than a chevy D60 wms to wms. So this should bring the fronts closer to matching the super wide D80 I used in the rear.
