Today started wonderfully.
We had the Little Princess's girlfriend spend the night, so to allow the girlfriend's Mom and Dad to have an evening alone, we also had her brother, 5 years old and a smart little runt.
Beat me three of four in video games.....
So yesterday while the Jeep and the Long Roof were in the pits at the Daytona Budweiser blast, Nascar's opening, 75 laps wide open. I sat at home watching the race and all 7 or eight wrecks, good race, but a lot of cars were sent to pit row where the Jeep and Long Roof tooks some good pictures I am sure....
Barngoddess and I took the seats to Her Bronc to the upholstery shop to get the new cushions and covers installed. Local fellow who does it on the side to make ends meet. Keep it local and know that the money spent is going to someone in USA instead of China.
Today with weather so nice, spend part of this morning cutting heads off chickens, oh hell don't tell PETA or SPCA or I'll have them out here screaming that I should give them a shot of morphine first so they don't feel the pain.......
Anyway killed and skinned 3 of them big roosters and the Barngoddess now has them in the freezer for dinner next weekend. Judging from thier size, 4 of us could get two meals out of one of them......
Anyway, the Little Princess and I started looking at the Barngoddess's Bronc and decided we would investigate what it would take to install the heater and defroster assembly.
NOW I have shopped the internet and auto parts stores/shops for the past three weeks looking for the defroster ducts for a 66 Bronco, to NO END... have plenty for 68 and up, but not the 66. So in true Lee fashion, I got the sheet metal out (parts left over from the new roof) and made my own. Turned out great. Pop rivets and duct tape worked wonders and the Little Princess and I soon found we had the ducts installed on Her Bronc. Next thing we knew, the heater was done and we were off to my favorite parts store for heater hose..
Long story short, the heater is in, defroster connected, and it works..........
so now I sit here contemplating.......... forget that,,,,, I'm going to the hot tub to get these old bones to stop complaining about all the abuse today....
Look forwad to this week, temps to be in the 60s, chance of storms, but rain is always welcome on the farm...
It was a blast working on Her Bronc with the Little Princess. Jeep I acknowledge your enjoyment with the jeeps and the Kid. Get more done with two, and she is learning about tools and how to manipulate parts to make them work...
Celebrate Life.
Oh almost forgot my daily test............
67 Ford Wagon, 64 corvair convertible, boat was a Pram until the mast incident, at the airport Dad asked Mom what happened to the windshield, her reply "I thought you wouldn't notice". Boat afterwards was "that damned boat".......
So figure this one out.......... what is the car in the driveway???????
Good luck.........
