Well, I haven't done a thing lately except regroup.

Spent a few $ going to my sisters and doing volunteer work.
Keeping the great neph/nieces fed and occupied.
Then the first of the month.... so that was a bust.
I still have some parts from the Superduty that I can sell (like the Zf) and maybe I'll get back in the black.

I finally got the oxy setup working properly.
And picked up a rosebud tip the other day.
... Some welding rod today.

I need to get the short block torn down but it is supposed to rain this week and I don't have shelter.
And I need more information before taking it to the machine shop.

Hopefully I can find the time to finish the heads soon. (and get a valve job done)
But I've been too busy with Christmas coming and needing to get moved by the first of the year.

I was actually wondering about this earlier today.  But, move?  Will you have a place to work on the truck then?

No idea.

I may ask for another container.
But that's $350 for the pad + $100 rental every month, and still no power or way to work on my truck inside.
Or have the one I own moved lock, stock, and barrel to a more convenient location.

I'd like to find a place with a garage but things are getting more gentrified around here and I don't want to move further away from the jobs I have.
Fuel costs and traffic time already eat a big hole every week.

These 3 rooms in a basement plus everything else I've got going are already pushing the limit of affordability for me.
Now it's time to go.
