Let's start over......
Crusing down the main drag this afternoon and noticed a guy in a new Ram kept staring at the truck. Figured maybe he wanted to race, tried it and that wasn't it. Next light kept staring. Got to the 3rd light and he rolled down the winder and asked who washed my truck .
Told him I did it myself and asked how much I would charge? Thought of a high number and told him $350, he said let's do it. We pulled over chatted for a while and he's bringing it to me Monday.
Win Win!

I was asked today to do a M320 and a A4 while having a beer at work. They will be good to do as I can buy more detailing supplies with the money!
The local Lion's Club had a car show in town today and the boy and I headed over to take walk around and see what was there. I've always thought that one of these days I am going to go out and have a bunch of trophies made up so that I can give the "ddellwo award" to the car I like the best at these local shows.....
Most of the shows I have actually participated in are pretty much a joke as far as awarding trophies goes -- it's just a bunch of local cronies that all team up and vote for each other's cars instead of voting for the vehicle that is truly the best (or most unique) at the show.....
Highlights at this event for me were a wonderfully restored '71 Corvette convertible (kind of an odd choice for me since I am not generally drawn to these cars) and a '72 Gran Torino (I liked the back story to the car in that it has been owned by the same guy since new and was special ordered while he was still on active duty over in Vietnam).....

He called me today and want's to delay the detail a few days since we got rain this morning and expecting more tomorrow night and Tuesday. Can't really blame him especially spending that kind of coin i wouldn't want it done either if it was going to rain.
37 new deck boards down...beefed up the supports on the bottom and re-leveled. Now putting up new handrails and spindles. Lucky my ex-neighbor of 32 yrs is doing most of the work. He's got me running to the lumber yard with my trailer most of the day! Now wife and I have to deliver some fabricated material to her brother in the New Orleans area with stops at Sams and maybe Home Depot. I've been fighting bronchitis for the last 2 weeks so I run out of wind quickly with the COPD flareups. Too much like WORK for me!!
Come this summer i will be putting my intercooler on though, no doubt.
