Spent 5 weeks in Darkland Bay, near Bocas Tel Toro Panama, house setting and taking care of a great dog named Turbo over Christmas and New years. The weather was great.
Got home a couple weeks ago to very cold weather. Been working on two more rocking chairs in my wood shop until the weather breaks. Looks like a couple more weeks of cold ahead. Just finished gluing the back legs to the seats and while waiting for the glue to dry, I am working on the back splats. Long way to go on the chairs yet.
Got some good news on the truck. Made arrangements to paint the truck this spring or summer. Will do the cab first so I can get it back on the frame and start the wiring. Would like to get the engine started and broke in this year. The fellow that will do the painting is Jeff Crow. He lives about 40 miles south of me in Warsaw Illinois. He does beautiful work. This was arranged with the help of Bob Ertzinger and Tony Cetta, two very good friends. The color has been decided and will be Mercedes Iridium Silver. I've decided on a single color. I was going to do a two tone with dark blue on top. Decided against that and will do some pin striping instead. Anxious to get started again. The front sheet metal needs to be addressed and the hood still needs to be sandblasted. A lot of work to do before the painting gets started.
Oh yes, I still have the bed to do too. Oh yes, and Nancy wants to do more traveling this year.
I may have to start working a second shift. I think the pay is the same.
