Weekend Stuff
Well sometimes we have maintenance stuff that dominates our free time. For over a year I've neglected the paint on the 1993 Toyota 4x4 that my wife bought new after she graduated from college. So since it is a daily commuter with 185k on it, I decided to give it some TLC. I buffed the hood and roof which were severely oxidized with a 3m Rubbing compound, then washed and waxed it with turtle wax. It then recieved some armourall and now it looks like a million bucks, minus 17 years depreciation!
Next I tackled the other daily commuter, which had fogged over headlight covers. Again using a 3m product, I sanded the light covers down per instructions with the kit I bought on Amazon. They came out pretty good too!. So now it's time for a few brews and a nap!

Good call Stevie, if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy...........Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Drove four hours north to see my mother,and to visit friends.Had a good weekend,just a little damp coming back,and drove into some pretty hairy windy conditions,,just a reminder of how close we were to home..
Its winter down here,and living close to the mountain means the weather seems to be a bit more unruly..The wind howled for a few hours last night,things got chucked around outside,and we woke to a nice bright warm day..[for a change].
This coming Friday we are heading south to a swap meet/display,in which we have a trade display with our fiberglass bits and pieces,and a recently finished T bucket with one of our bodies on display..Never a dull moment...
