  Well..so much for the best lasid plands of mice and men. I awoke very late today, and in a great degree of pain from the old war wounds. I think I stood too much yesterday without a break- the knees are not in working order. Thus..all my plans of conquest have been ..sidetracked, as I missed today's Comic Con. I have laid in plans for next year. I'll go during the week for the first few days when nobody is there, and do the seminars that seem interesting on the weekend, so I can see everything.
Makes sense, at least I got a feel for the deal now. So as for planning, I got to work on the Jeep yet again. Its getting down to little details now..reinstall bumpers, tow hitches, trim, latches, catches and bottles, switches and wihoses and wires...and I THINK all under the hood has been restored to a 1977 Glory.
Its very complete and clean under the hood. Its 98% on the outside. I have discovered a few more things that need replacement, but since they are details they really need to be replaced to complete the projrct. maybe 30 dollars more of expense to go. Do I want to sell it now? No, the sentimental side of me that never wants to get rid of anything wants to store it away forever...but then again, its like a prson to store a car. The more you drive the better they run, the less you run them, the more they rust...and I like to keep mine all Shiney-Shiney. It needs a new home. Rather like any other object of value, the more someone pays for it, the more someone an be expected to take care of it. Th other side of me is going nuts from boozehounds, illegal alien neighbor children who are known to steal, cats, and just generally weirdness.
I also relaize I don't want my friends over her ever because I am so ashamed of the dump. That sucks. No matter how hard one tries, you can NEVER polish a turd. I have found this to be true once again. So I have tests to grade and comments to write by e-mail to students. I need a shower now and to get to work, so I am clear to go out tomorrow morning early and get some stuff done. Perhaps by this time tomorrow the Jeep will be officially done? Wage Peace...!
