Drip feeding.
Too much of a good thing and all that.
Sunday was a slow day after all the rummaging around on Saturday.
But I was onto a bit of woodwork again
Being creative is a lot nicer than just moving stuff around.
I wanted to make a cab lifter again so that I could remove the cab from the chassis when I needed to work on the cab, on its roller jig.
So based on some photos I took years ago, I measured up, then found some lumber in the store.
Cut it all up to size as needed.
Dealt with a time waster who cost me over 90 minutes.
Changing from my garage clothes into jeans, trainers and hoody, before his 11.00 appointment, waiting for him, then getting called to say he had a flat wheel ( I have no doubt he is just a tardy timekeeper) and was running 30 minutes late, which turned into an hour late, ultimately not buying the car after some pretty dumb questions, and going to look at some other cars.
Wood cut up and ready, then assembled it.
Mickey popped in to supervise me and of course help while smoking a couple of smelly roll ups. At 78 he is still going strong.

Shut shop by 4.00pm as I had dinner being cooked and needed to spend time with Bonnie.
I also decided not to paint the lifting tool.
Famous last words.
By Monday afternoon I was on it, having dug out some old paint. One metal tin had rusted through the bottom before and was stood upside down on my paint shelf. And a plastic tub of what was left over of a purple/blue made perfect volunteers for random mixing
And done.
Pretty stupid but hey……. Makes me happy.
In the evening I took a look to see if there were any of the Little Tykes Woody cars for sale online.
A few popped up.
Clearly valued by some.
Me included.
And then some dreamers.
But of course if someone paid the price, I would be wrong.
Back to Bonnie.
Loves a ball.
Nonstop.
I try hiding them……
Not a stupid dog.
Wednesday today.
Hump day.
