The Co-op, Here comes the rain

Some days you feel like a windshield…. others you feel like the bug on that glass…… rain along with trying to coax 40 year old hay bailers to work in Florida makes for a long day….. today will be one of those.  The wet season is coming to the south and this is what it looks like  finals outside 16

The first part of the day was good, Willie looked over his coach in preparation to do water tests on the fresh and sewer systems finals outside 19 outside now near the water picket, we fill up his tank and get ready to run the water thru the system …. a beautiful day  finals outside 17  Getting ready now to dump the tank…… the cap was left on the inlet pipe, it started raining and all Willie could do is get wet  finals outside 15 ON the wet ground… IN the rain…. can’t reach the plug…… no shower needed tonight!  Just one more step to get Savoy Brown on the road….

finals outside 8 

Say here’s one for you fixer-upper-guys, a 26. Avion twin bed for $1000 near us here in Orlando.  Hasn’t been run in 16 years……  it’s a core…. Duhhhh but it IS a twin bed.  Anyone interested please call me right away….. it may be crushed soon!6.2.17 morning 1 

We have a little more done on the 2 Ford pickups we’re restoring…… hey, who SAYS I’m down on all carbs  6.2.17 morning 3 just look at that big ole Holley sitting up there!  Since we’ve talked about this fuel injection stuff, we’ve booked 3 more installs… here’s mine again over at the shop.  Come by and drive it if you like 6.2.17 morning 4  Jared did a great job installing the new in dash AC/heat system…. really sets off the new painted dash and interior 6.2.17 morning 2

Finally guys, it’s been a crazy week for us here.  Like I said at the top of the post, when you’re in the middle of big projects you sometimes feel it’s all loading you down.  Hey, what if I DID have space, a totally organized shop, American parts that are built better, air over lifts that leak… bad wheel bearings, brake springs, and every other part that falls off after being fixed…. backorders, late shipments, etc.  I sure would be bored if all this fun went away!  Oh well, Saturday .. in Florida… in the rain is better than well…. it could be much worse so lets celebrate the good stuff this weekend…. yeah, that’s it……. but it’s raining, oh well we need that too! 

See ya later..
