It's a long weekend for some of us and around here it will be a busy one.
Tonight The General and I are heading out for "Mamaw and "Papaw" duty with the grand kids. Our daughter is making dinner and we always have a great time.
Have to work on our Redneck Bathtub (pool) a little and get things ready for the following weekend. Our oldest son and his new bride are coming out for a visit.
On the slot car front I am really stacking up the projects. Poor Vega modified needs to be finished and that is priority 1. Want to see this car on the track hopefully can make it happen. Also have some older classics in line for restoration. MIDMO should have a small facelift as well.
We will enjoy it and that is the best way to honor what this weekend is all about. :flags-waveusa: :flags-waveusa: :flags-waveusa:
Wish all of you a fun and safe weekend.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY to all. I have the usual projects ahead this weekend plus four of my Grandkids are coming up. That means some track time (with me putting the cars back in the slots), and getting rid of some pesky ground squirrels. And hopefully I'll be able to find some time to design and print out a new chassis for my Pioneer Camaro which only lasted a few hours with one of the Grandkids before breaking a motor mount.

Thank you to all of our Veterans and especially those who gave their all as the ultimate sacrifice for their country. :flags-waveusa:
I'm playing catch-up at work today after an insane week. I've got about 5 tons of mulch to remove around the yard and replace with river rock, but since it has been raining for 40 days and nights, I've decided to put my skills to work and construct an Ark. I haven't seen a Spring in Colorado like this in many years. I guess we'll get the flooding out of the way before the fires this year instead of the normal pattern of fires and then floods.
I've got a few orders to do, some work on the Corvair to do as well as some new 3D models to work on. Also been doing some work on the track when I can catch 30 seconds or so at a time. I'm no Bob Taylor, but it'll do.
I hope everyone has a great and safe holiday weekend!

I'll be working the 3 days at my "part time" job so I can have the following Saturday off. My Kubota is down with a hydraulic leak and parts won't be in until Tuesday. Praying for no rain over the weekend or I may have to use the 2N and the Bush Hog for the first cut of the yard! Will try and get some more pasture mowing done today and some paint on one of the wife's projects.
Have a good holiday and thanks, in advance, for remembering my Brothers and Sisters who "went and did" so others didn't have to.

We loath to hit the road during a holiday weekend. Lucky thing for us, we live in a place where people want to travel to rather than away from for a holiday. So we will do our holiday "vacation" close to home. I got a load of parts in the mail last week to put into ROAR proxy cars. A set of BRM wire wheels/ tires, some 16.5 X7 CB Design wheels, Slot.it axles and gear and a couple of MT-1 motors. I am still waiting on some PG tires coming from Canada for the CB Design wheels. That should keep me busy in my spare time for the next week.

E-mailed one of my old Navy buddies.......Gotta' ship pigeons in half n' hour to a 200 & 300 mile race.
I'll put up the flags tomorrow. (Gripes me that people fly the flag as DECORATION & don't take it down at dark or inclement weather)
Guess I'll cut the grass tomorrow & have lunch with my 89 year old mother at her place tomorrow also..............

Rid myself of the Fiat, what a nightmare. I now have to look for another mode of transportation. Mowed grass today, and cleaned house. I'm getting to be a regular Susie Homemaker, plus a carpenter, glazier, and few other things I know I have forgot.
I did go to my grandsons graduation last night. His high school was rated #1 in the nation for academics. He will be taking engineering at USI in the fall. Great kid, smarter than me.
Everyone have a great holiday and stay safe. :)
