Great update Pel. The tri5 chevy looks cool, and the picture of Faith on the pony is priceless! Really intrigued to see the block after reading your description. A summer vacation sounds about what I need right now. Been plugging away since last year February when my wife wanted a divorce. after six months getting my old house cleaned up for sale, then moving twice once out of my home of 20 years, into an apt. and then a few months ago into my new house, I haven't had time or money for anything but basics necessities like painting new place, new roof badly needed, along with a heating and cooling system. I'm hopeful the contractors will be done in next few weeks with the last of the indoor stuff(drywall patching of out heating ducts, and pumping in wall and attic insulation, solar panels too!
I love reading this thread as it reinforces what is important in life, family time, and some fun in the hobby department. Keep on posting!
