Mine's simple....Survive the Depression.


So far so good.  Sign on the refinance on Tuesday, which'll help greatly.  Now if I could just get back to work full time.

As for the Tbird, I'm currently looking for an earlier style K-member (stang type) found one, but it's in a field and he said bring torches.  But I've been layed up for awhile since I stepped on a nail while tearing down our old house.  Right up through the ball of my left foot.  I won't say how much that hurt.

Well, the pool is done, the yard is landscaped. looks like another month before the concrete goes in for the garage addition. Meanwhile, the basp00get recording studio, will be worked on when time permits. can't wait till winter, I never have any time do do anything in the summer for some reason.
