I still can’t believe it’s real. But thank you!

It’s like when I see people at work retiring and think to myself, “someday, that’ll be me.”

I have a good garage....but that is a great garage. It looks really good Collin, count me in as Jealous.

Wow man, that is awesome!

 

[95BlueStallion]

Heck yeah, that’s legit.

Thanks guys. The only down side here is that the mustang will be on the back burner for a long while, but hey. It’s worth it.

All your car needs is some 17” ponies and she’s a beaut. That’ll be like $1200, which is only a few cutting boards, right?

LOL something like that!
I’ve been on the lookout for something cheap lately just to get me by. I slept on some 10th anniversary cobras the other day for $250 and by the time I realized I was dumb for not doing it, they sold.

Updates:

A buddy and I decided to roof all 2,000+ sf ourselves. We gave it hell last Wednesday, loading the shingles by hand in the morning and then roofing til 5. Almost got it knocked out! Finished the roof with my brother on Saturday. Lesson learned: I am not 21 anymore and can't go 100% all day anymore. But, it was fun and it's done!

Also, I moved the fox in to it's new home. Seems to fit ok!

Got a few LED lights off Amazon and got a few up and plugged into an extension cord. Working on getting a garage door this week and then I'm going to leave it alone for a while. It's time to stop the bleeding.

The fox is going up on jacks tomorrow, but surprisingly, nothing is broken. Making a deal to add a third pedal back under the dash! Got a deposit on the 4r70w, will pull it out and put a 3550 back in.
woooooohoo!

Just kidding. I have the flu now.

Don't look to me to make room. This burner is occupied.




Oh and...

What could go wrong?

Luckily the only thing that went wrong was a utility knife cut on my left hand.
The shops 99% painted now, waiting on a garage door to come in. Getting there!
