Cutting the mustard.

Story about the painter. I worked with his wife, she's a remarkable woman and very smart too. She ran her department, and I was an analyst who wrote up her puter systems. We made things easy despite the system around us

I mentioned some work on my 05 Tundra, she mentions her husband and I figure if she's with him he must be something, which was a good guess. Then we figure he's going to paint my 1971, while he and especially I had no idea what we we're getting into. Oh sure, "I ought to be able to do this project in 18K"

Anyway, he's as much or more excited where things are going, we started this must be five years ago. Bed took him a while, but I'm slow at this anyway

. He's caught too far up this point, need my radiator for starts, I have to bend transmission lines yet.

Oh yeah, the guy that was supposed to paint my evap. case can't today, his wife's water broke.

Think when this gets home I'll install the first thing removed, the coat hanger

Josh delivers too

I'm a lucky guy.
