Lookin' Good



We had a two hour delay yesterday due to a real heavy fog, so I didn't get as much done as I had planned on the midget. The only things left to do are the throttle and brake cables and a kill switch, though. Should be done by next weekend -maybe have the boy come down on Saturday or Sunday afternoon and give it a spin. Right now the weather man is forecasting rain for the next five days.

We did get the scrap box emptied out and loaded into the back of my truck yesterday plus a lot of general clean-up. Twenty-eight minute class periods don't allow for much welding time but they actually work real well for a clean-up day. There's still some work to be done but that's always the case. I've got to work out a schedule to start bringing things in. Cuzzin Ricky has the dune buggy that needs to be finished along with some ramps for his trailer, the gym "bus" needs patch panels, and we need to make a heavy duty log splitter just for starters. Plus, I really need to see some progress on my VW this year. I've got some really good students this year so we should be able to turn out both quality and quantity.

Now it's off to the scrapyard, do a little trenching and hit the gym. Get outside and enjoy the weekend, people.
