Space, I've chased storms for several years. I grew up in Oklahoma, so I've always been around severe weather. As soon as I can find a job out here I'll be moving back too.

That's the spot to do it!
I'm hoping once I finish school to spend a spring in tornado alley chasing.

Alright, engine cover is off at the shop to be painted now. Whole cover is getting prepped and painted; center portion will be the same black color as the plastic, sides will be victory red, and the lettering will be the same black as the center; so we're talking similar to the Corvette Z06 look which is what I'm going for. That all will be cleared with a satin finish (something about 80% gloss). For sheen, I told them something along the lines of Armor-All'ed plastic, so some gloss but not a full out mirror gloss; basically so it looks like it's a factory part. Work on the cover should take about a week.

what's up folks?

been a busy couple of days for me, even drove the monte to work and down to town for some dinner last night . working on building a toolshed for my boss, we've got all the walls framed up in the shop and just about ready for siding, gonna do a board 'n batton style for it to match his garage.

then i've been helping the boss's son clean out the 80+ year old garage on his farm. it's not big, only room for one car plus a loft. the family build it when they got their first model A and it's been filling up with junk ever scince, lol. eather way a good excuse to bring out his tractors and "play" a bit last night he parked his subaru in there, first time it's seen a car in about 40 years.

Yeah I was always tracking all that stuff every spring growing up. I still do even while living 700 miles away to look out for family.

Afternoon all. I just got home from a camping trip with my wife, my son and his friend. The weather was nice and the rain only came at night. We had a lot of fun but now the work of unpacking and cleaning everything up begins.

Hi `Mitch it's always a major loss when it's someone or something that you've loved in life. You & Jessica can have a special ceremony for the little guy when you return home It's always a reminder that it all ends & that we should `all never take our life or the ones we love 4-Granted 4-Sure
