Things are progressing too slowly.

I recently bought a Hyundai Accent to daily drive (36mpg) instead of my C10 (10mpg). Our gas (premium, because 11:1) is $1.99/L, that's $5.50US/USgallon to you 'Muricans and £5.50/IMPgallon in the UK. The car will pay itself off in less than a year in savings alone. AND help me financially finish the '61.

Pops took a tumble recently, the second of significance, and that, coupled with a few other things has me looking for a care home for him as he's rapidly becoming unable to care for himself. My goal was to have the interior painted over Spring Break, but we'll see what happens.

If I have to choose between focusing on the truck or helping my pops, I have to choose my pops.

I'll keep you updated when I'm back on the truck.
