Holy %#@$&!!!!

Has really been almost a year since my last post? Man, it seems time just slips away so fast these days. Several things have happened since my last entry here.


1. I finally hung up the badge for good. I'm officially and completely retired.


2. I built an outdoor patio cover, which means we finally have some shade for those triple digit temperatures we get for weeks on end...

3. and the Christmas Village for 2019 was built, and demolished. It was so big we had to use two rooms this year.

With all that out of the way, I was finally able to begin making repairs to the VR. I spent a day removing the bonnet, cutting out the damaged fiberglass...

and prepping the repair areas for mat and filler. I'll be making new forms to rebuild the under hood extensions to the sugar scoops.

Damn it feels good to be working on this again!!!
