HELLO ALL,

BEEN A FEW DAYS AGAIN BUT, STILL MADE A LITTLE PROGRESS. SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS ON THE COUCH WITH WHAT I'M PRETTY SURE WAS PNEUMONIA. GOT PAST THAT AND DID A COUPLE OF THINGS IN THE SHOP.

PUT UP SOME OF THE NEW LIGHTS, INSTALLED THE NEW PHONE. BOUGHT A NEW(USED) STEREO AND PICKED UP A NEW(USED) SUBWOOFER FROM THE OLDEST SON.

I HAD AN OLD 5.1 ONKYO SURROUND SOUND SETUP, THAT I BOUGHT AT A YARD SALE FOR $100, PROBABLY 15 YEARS AGO. WHEN I BOUGHT IT I DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE CHANNELS DIDN'T WORK, RECENTLY I HAVE LOST SEVERAL MORE SO, IT WAS TIME TO UPGRADE. SO MY YOUNGEST SON FOUND A DENON 7.1 UNIT. I'M WORKING ON SOME NEW SPEAKERS(USED) THAT I SHOULD HAVE IN A FEW WEEKS. STILL LOOKING FOR ANOTHER TV, BUT THAT IS SECONDARY FOR NOW.

I KNOW IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A MESS BUT, I HAVE CLEANED UP SOME MORE SINCE THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN.

HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE NEW SUBWOOFER, HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT ALL HOOKED UP BUT, THAT IS THE PLAN FOR THIS WEEKEND PLUS TO WORK ON THE WEST WALL. HOPEFULLY I CAN GET BOTH DONE BY THE TIME THE SUPERBOWL COMES ON.

WELL I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR NOW.

                                                          TALK TO YOU SOON,

STILL MOVING ALONG

HELLO ALL,

WORKED IN THE SHOP THIS PAST WEEKEND. MAKING SOME HEADWAY.

BUILT SOME NEW CABINETS ON THE NEW WORK BENCH, DID SOME MORE CLEANING AND THROWING AWAY( STILL MUCH MORE NEEDED IN THAT AREA!).

HERE'S SOME PICS OF THE PROGRESS:

THE BENCH TOP IS THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED GYM FLOOR, IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD IN PERSON. I ALSO MADE UP THE TRIM PIECES FOR THE EDGES OF THE BENCH TOP, JUST HAVEN'T PAINTED THEM YET. ORDERED UP THE NEW LIGHTS FOR THE CEILING FIXTURES, THE ONES THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THERE NOW ARE PROBABLY 40 YEARS OLD OR OLDER. I PICKED THEM OUT OF THE TRASH AT THE CAT DEALER I WORKED AT 25 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY REMODELED. OVER THE YEARS I'VE KEPT THEM WORKING BUT, NOW IT'S TIME FOR BETTER LIGHTING. THEY SHOULD BE HERE TOMORROW, I ALSO ORDERED A NEW PHONE, SO THE ONE IN THE PICTURE WILL BE REPLACED.

PICKED UP ALL THE OSB TO FINISH THE WALLS, SO, THE NEXT MOVE IS TO FINISH THE WEST WALL, IT NEEDS THE MOST OSB AND PAINTING AND TRIM. THAT WILL LEAVE ME THE NORTH WALL, IT NEEDS THE MOST ATTENTION. I WANT TO REPLACE THE BREAKER PANEL WITH A LARGER BOX, MORE CIRCUITS, AND PUT IN A FEW MORE OUTLETS AND ANOTHER 220 PLUG. ALSO NEED TO BUILD CABINETS ON THAT WALL AS WELL.

WELL, LIKE THE TITLE SAYS, STILL MOVING ALONG.

JUST AN UPDATE

HELLO TO ALL,

WELL, MADE IT THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS. HAD A GOOD TIME WITH THE YOUNGEST SON HOME FROM COLLEGE. ALL THE FAMILY CAME OVER FOR CHRISTMAS EVE AND WE RODE FOUR WHEELERS AND GOLF  CARTS, SHOT GUNS AND ATE WELL. GOOD TIMES!

GOT SOME MORE DONE ON THE SHOP, PAINTED AND TRIMMED OUT ANOTHER WALL, THREW OUT A BUNCH OF SHIT, CHANGED SOME ELECTRICAL AROUND, BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOOL BOX (FIRST ONE EVER!).

STARTED ON ANOTHER WALL, CHANGED SOME MORE ELECTRICAL BOUGHT A USED DOOR AND INSTALLED IT BETWEEN THE GARAGE AND THE SHOP.

NEXT TO THIS DOOR I BUILT SOME NEW WORK BENCH AREAS, THE OTHER NIGHT I BOUGHT SEVERAL SHEETS OF 4X8 OLD GYM FLOORING FROM A GUY IN LAFAYETTE, CAME OUT OF A JUNIOR COLLEGE GYMNASIUM. IT WILL BE THE NEW BENCH TOPS IN THAT SPACE PLUS, WILL REPLACE THE TOP ON ONE OF MY OLD BENCHES. WHEN I GET IT CUT AND FITTED I'LL POST SOME PICS OF IT.

I STILL HAVE SOME CABINETS TO BUILD, ONE WHOLE WALL TO FINISH AND ANOTHER WALL TO PRETTY MUCH RECONSTRUCT, BEFORE IT'S ALL DONE, PLUS NEW LIGHTING. SO MUCH STILL TO DO, BUT AT LEAST IT'S PROGRESS.



                                                  WELL, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, TALK

                                                  TO YOU SOON,

                                                                          TVI

FINALLY SOME PICS!

HELLO AGAIN,

WELL IF I FIGURED IT OUT RIGHT, THERE SHOULD BE SOME PICS IN THIS POST!!

FINALLY GOT SOME PAINT ON ONE OF THE WALLS IN THE SHOP, TOOK EVERYTHING OFF THE WALL, CAULKED ALL THE SEAMS, AND PAINTED THE WALL. MADE UP THE TRIM FOR THE WINDOWS AND SERVICE DOOR AND PAINTED THEM. STILL NEED TO PAINT THE ACTUAL WINDOWS AND DOOR BUT, IT'S A START.

IT'S EVEN CLEANER THAN IT WAS.

I EVEN HAVE SOME PICS OF THE NEW CAMPER DIGS, IF I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THEM IN AGAIN.

WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, I FIGURED IT OUT.

I STARTED THIS POST AWHILE AGO, SO WE'RE PAST HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING. HAD A JOB AT ONE OF THE STEEL MILLS UP HERE AND ENDED UP WORKING ON THE FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. BIG MONEY BUT, TRULY WOULD HAVE RATHER BEEN AT HOME FOR FOUR DAYS.

STILL WORKING ON PAINTING THE NEXT WALL AND PICKING UP THE FINAL PARTS FOR THE GOLF CARTS, SO I CAN GET STARTED ON THAT PROJECT. KIND OF IN LIMBO ABOUT WHICH TO DO FIRST, BUT APPARENTLY, CUTTING WOOD THIS NEXT WEEKEND IS A PRIORITY. HAVE EVERYBODY HOME AGAIN TO GIVE ME A HAND.



                                                 WELL, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR NOW
                                                       TALK TO YOU SOON,

HELLO AGAIN,

WELL STILL NO PICS BUT, MADE IT TO THE RACES AND BACK, THE CAMPER WORKED OUT PERFECTLY. USED IT AGAIN IN OCTOBER AT THE COVERED BRIDGE FESTIVAL IN INDIANA. FROZE OUR ASSES OFF BUT, HAD A GOOD TIME.

STARTED CUTTING WOOD FOR THE WINTER, MADE UP A COUPLE OF NEW PATHS IN THE WOODS, ORDERED A BUNCH OF PARTS FOR THE GOLF CARTS. THE CARTS ARE PART OF THE WINTER LIST OF THINGS TO DO. I'M HOPING TO START PAINTING THE SHOP INSIDES THIS WEEKEND. MY WIFE FLEW TO FLORIDA TO VISIT SOME OF HER FRIENDS, SO, I'M ON MY OWN TO DO AS I PLEASE. NO GUARANTEE ABOUT PICS BUT I'LL TRY.

THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR NOW.

GETTING READY FOR RACING

     WELL, I FIGURED OUT THE TAILLIGHT ISSUE, BLOWN FUSE. STRANGE THAT THEY WOULD FUSE JUST THE TAILLIGHTS IN THE TRAILER PLUG, BUT THEY DID. YOUTUBE TO THE RESCUE!

     THIS WEEKEND I'LL SET UP THE LITTLE TRAILER, TRY OUT THE SCREEN ROOM ATTACHMENT, SEE IF THE AIR CONDITIONER ADAPTER WORKS AND THEN START PACKING UP MY STUFF.

     I LEAVE NEXT WEDNESDAY FOR THE TRACK AND WILL RETURN ON SUNDAY. SHOULD BE FUN. NOT A BAD DRIVE, STRAIGHT DOWN I-65. WILL VISIT A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO LIVES ABOUT A MILE AND AND A HALF FROM THE TRACK. WE WORKED TOGETHER AT THE CAT DEALER A LIFETIME AGO.

     I'LL GET SOME PICS AND VIDEOS FROM THE RACING AND SHOW AND SHINE. TAKE A PIC OR TWO OF THE NEW CAMPER DIGS, SEE HOW THE MAIDEN VOYAGE GOES.
