Garage
Hey, take the job! The country needs your taxes.

Phew, another stretch in the garage. I am loving my air conditioner. I would have died from exhaustion in the heat, 102 heat index right now. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be only 80 and they even call for rain. Yea right.

I got overwhelmed with the "while yer in there" and what started as get some speakers worth a crap. I bought new seat belts not long ago, but I was waiting for the carpeting to be available to install them. So right now the Elky has no carpet, but I have the new stuff here.

Just gotta install the seat belts, carpet and finish the door panels. I figure at my rate it will be another full week of garage time. The seat belts are not right, so I will take them the old ones to be rebuilt. The speakers the stereo shop sold me do not fit the holes in the new panels, and the only had two of the right size, so that comes in on Tuesday. Fortunately, Seat Belt Planet is just a few miles from my house, and I will bring them the old seat belts to be rebuilt, hopefully they will work with me on time and a refund on the wrong ones they sold me. The carpet is going to need a lot of work to get it to fit, it is just over sized and needs a lot of trim work.

It is enough to make me wish I was just a checkbook repair guy. I know once it is all done, it will be right, but damn this is a lot of work.
