Hi Ruthy! Looks like I'm getting a 1970 Beetle!
FMM indeed, eh?
That's vey cool! Keep us posted!
Wow.... How much work? I can't imagine trying to rebuild a car, but hey, if you can, more power!
Well, it's something we've been wanting to do for a long time...and we have such a great shop with heating and a/c. It's really nice, like a guest house you can drive in to! (OT actually parked her car in it during a threat of hail, but it was full of junk when she was here...we've cleaned it out since then and hauled a lot of stuff to Salvation Army.)
Be a good place for the jedis to hang out with their dad, you know?
Here's a 1970 VW Beetle restoration!

I wonder what color "yours" is? You'd repaint it anyway, I assume...but...
Ping to 3020!
Well, if it's not too terribly rusty, we might NOT paint it...a slight patina isn't that big a deal to Steve and I...
'Course, we're eccentric.
But I don't know the color...
I'm sure I'll post all kinds of pictures...even do a webpage like the one I showed you...if I knew how.
Webpages are easy! Your ISP may even have internet space and a nice little point-and-click interface ready for you.
I think it does! I'll look in to it when the time comes!
If you have questions, ask here! Somebody'll know the answer!
Woo Hoo!! That'll be a nice treat for ASG, even if you DO have to get it into working condition!
I sure will!
I'm so excited! I'm glad we got out there and got the shop all spiffed up.
Oh yeah...and until we can afford to buy stuff for it, Steve can still putz around on it, taking apart things that obviously have to be fixed or cleaned or whatever.
This semester shouldn't be so hard...I think he's taking a political science requirement.
I know you can't wait until he finishes!! I'll bet HE can't either! LOL!
Clare is enjoying her Writing class at the Community college. It's a small class, maybe 9 people, and is a mix of younger folks, college aged, and some in their late 20's and 30's.
Sounds great! I'm glad to hear it - and if it counts toward her degree later, even better! Does she know what she's going to be when she grows up? ;-)
Good Evening - Praise the Lord and linesmen who got the lines repaired. Been tending the fire and getting ready for a chilly night. But we gots power. (no shoes of power, though)
Welcome back! ;-)
