the garage in the picture -down the left wall is the original siding.front was all i could get done before freeze-up.big door was 8x8 one piece plywood.
that the wife's garage,never thought she would park in it.put up a power opener and now i cant keep her out.
in the back on right is the hay shed with winter storage rv's.
behind on left is another open shed -wood pile and junk collector.

Awesome TJ. Looks like heaven.

Woke this morning to snow and the phone ringing. The call was from the school/grant people. I got it! Parts A & B of the course cost $6 grand and they pay for the books!

There were some hoops and such but pretty much was "Ya wanna do what? Heres the money, have at it"

Go out to shovel the snow. Carol had got up early and had done 95% before she went to work at 0 sucks:30. She even cleaned off my car. And I been a major, silent and sullen *&^%@ for weeks.

She is out shopping right now and looking for a Batman lunch box for me. (Gotta look cool in front of the other kids)
LOL, she already got me a Spiderman one.

Is so dang great TJ.

Talking to the head guy, he asked why I wanted to go in to precision manufacturing. I showed him the vid in my signature, explained the 3 MB, power transmissions I have planed and how I wanted to build a flying, floating motorized bicycle. Could see the wheels in his head turning, on his face. After a bit he said, "I'm gonna write employment opportunities" LOL

So Dan after you finish this course we can put to test the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks " cant we! Just joking I know I'm older than you and I try to learn something everyday, if we do the same thing every day how do we learn. Sometimes we have to step outside of the box.

Will this flying, floating motorized bicycle be used for selling Nathan's Famous hot dogs?
Tap the heat from the exhaust pipe to keep them hot and ready to eat?
LOL GN! I have been drawing a pusher hotdoawg cart that kinda morphed into a pizza delivery MB like that....

The flying boat MB (just a hope now) would be a sort of a Fla. air boat with a hang glider wing. Like this but with trike wheels.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQoAVQbpgbs
