All is good here. Gonna have disagreements when two guys are building one car. He is very intelligent mechanic but stubborn like his ol' man, I just have my priorities straight and know when to calm it down or walk away. Usually we agree and get a ton of work done, he's the mechanical guy, I'm the weld/fabricator. Built the lower rad cradle yesterday, still no quarters but soon to start photos.
When my Dad was alive I'd say to my son, "My ol' man can kick the **** outta your ol' man". First time he had to think about it. He's a good guy but he still brings his work home and let's a bad day fester inside him, then it will come out like I'm his verbal punching bag but that's ok, better me than his Mom.

Morning. Glad to see the truck working Bob, Hate pretty boy parking lot trucks.
Well rainy all weekend and pregnant daughter in law dropped off her dog and took my wife to the market. Having a coffee and deciding what to do, was going to pull dandelions but Shawn brought the new Fusion AC Condensor home for the Coronet so I'll probably look at mounting that. Brother in law is at son's house to finish electrical wiring for inspection, hope they don't call for my help as I'm on call now.
Might just play with 3 wet dogs.

Making the most of the weather up here in the mile high city. When life hands you spring snow, make a snow fort.
Hope everyone is making the most of life. Any update from the insurance yet Bob?

My Brother Down in Colorado Springs only get a dusting... But y'all got a bunch!
Yes, I did hear from them. They made me a offer of 2,600 bucks... I laughed and said your going to have to work on that some!!!!!
I have sent them some more info on what the cars worth is and will see how that turns out. But after this last ditch effort to settle with them, It looks like I'm going to have to Bring in the California States Department of Insurance to investigate the claim.
Sooooooooo, Still in the works.... I'm sure glad this was not my daily driver or I would have been screwed and lost my job, more than likely....
What a racket this insurance stuff is, total Scam and fleecing all of us people.

Morning. Having coffee, relaxing. Moved duct for son's renovation yesterday, spent the whole day with them then met wifey and the 4 of us had supper. Great day!
I will go back tomorrow early when it stops raining to pump down his A/C Condenser to move it.
Really looking forward to Talladega, starting lineup is F'ed and should be dangerous the first few laps.

I'm taking my tiger cub to Boy Scout day camp tomorrow, should be fun.
I sinded up to be his den leader, a new experience for me. I'm interested if anyone here has done this before? I'm not sure what to expect.

Well kind of... The last offer was $2,505.00 on the car. That dose not even cover the Engine I put in it 4 years ago. I had to sit down and write another letter... I still need to get paid for DMV fees and Rental Car pay back.
