Thread: Signs of Spring

Tweet

We've had some 8 or 9 days of just rain and clouds..

So today it looked like the clouds might part and let the sun through.. I couldn't wait and brought the car to the house for a bath.. it was embarrasing to have all the Model A guys razzing me for such a dirty ride!

They just don't seem to understand patina!

Here's the car at the new house lookin' towards the workshop.

At least you can get yours dirty! At the rate I'm going it will be another year, oh well I like working on them. LOL

It got dusty/dirty from sitting in the shop. It seems I prefer building them to driving them.

Very nice! How about some shots of the work shop? That is a nice tease from you.

I think I've got some pics of the shop on the other computer so I'll see what I can do later.

The daily driver has to go to the dealer... so.. the coupe has to earn a paycheck for a coupe days.
Not really a big deal but 60(ish) miles one way at 5 am.. on the backroads... should be interesting.. at least the turkeys and the deer will hear me coming now! LOL.

I see you've got the land cultivated ready for planting.
Are prices coming right for you?

No, Ocean Spray (THE major player in cranberries) has the market sewn up and won't let anyone prosper who isn't in their control. We do keep the bogs alive / watered but we lose more money each year now. It's to much of an investment to let it go fallow but there is no one for us to sell to - so we sell at a loss. Our previous buyer quit the fight with Ocean Spray and jumped the border into Canada where the government keeps a level playing field between farmers and buyers.

Now, back to cars! LOL.. I made it to work in fine fashion.. LOL everyone oohs and ahhs over the car and they are taking turns sitting in it. Best part was I got to work without attracting any visits from the dept of public safety!! ROFL...

Sorry to hear about your losses on your crops. That is no good at all! Glad to hear you didn't have any run ins with the wild life or DPS.

Thanks. Yep, while I saw the usual turkey flocks around.. they definately heard me coming and cleared out of the way.. didn't see any deer at all! That makes me very happy! I've had'em run right into the side of the car!!!
