Sure has been quiet lately on the board. So, thought I'd through something out... just to get some conversation going... What is your Spring Project? Machines, Shops, Trips, Other Hobbies or interests??
Mine, I have several machines and pumps to start stripping down and get ready for body work/paint/restore. Gonna Build a New Garage/Shop out back for my stuff and to store my Car in the winter so I can have my garage back next winter for my daily drivers. Then have to build the kids one of those big wooden play sets, with swings,slides,climbing walls etc..
Fall will be here sooner than I want!!
What you got going on?

I agree. It's been quiet. Right now, the Mrs. and I have started finishing off the basement and getting ready for spring in general. The last of the snow (  '> ) is melted, so it's time to get the mower ready.

Well... working on that Barber Pole... just buffed the aluminum supports
and my right index fingure knuckle...!  '>
Found a guy that sells Marvy glass for $75 that's about half what the Marvy site (Marvy sells them for around $135) or anyone else sells them for...so if you need a glass for a pole get
hold of Mike Thomas at zmed@comcast.net
After that I' think I'm going to frame my 1957 and 1959 Coke calendars....
then start to work on one of my coolers (7up junior)
Doing some art work trade off for a friend who will paint my Bennett gas
pumps so hopefully I'll have them done too this summer....
So a pole, a cooler and a couple of Bennett 700 pumps is my goal for the summer..
Will try and stick with it and post them this fall.... we'll see...
who else?....

Have 2 more 6'x7'x8' containers to pack. Should be moving into the Spokane house next week. Then unpack 4 of the cubes and a 24' Uhaul worth of boxes. If I survive that will start having fun setting up the shop and exploring a new town.

Most of the forums that I go to have been quiet the past few weeks.
I've been helping some friends fix up a house they bought. Last week I could hardly walk for a few days after laying down hardwood floors.
Also spent some time sprucing up the bikes. Gonna start hitting the trails again starting tomorrow after work (didn't feel like going out today since I had to get up at 3:15am to drive a bus load of kids to Indy and back!).

I have a Cornelius chest to work on (I know, not the most desireable cooler, but something cheap to tinker with) down at my parents' house and a candy machine and stand that I want to redo that is here. We have been working on converting our basement to a home theater with more of an actual theater feel. The "concession area" includes our Vendo 63 and popcorn machine on a cart. Most of the signs were moved to another room.
Last Wednesday I was one of about 30 people to tryout for the Nationals Presidents' Race at RFK. They are choosing 12 to share duties. I haven't heard as of yet if I was chosen, but if I am I will be committing to half the home games this spring/summer.
Here is a link to what I am talking about:

I've been working on my house.. I am building a room in the basement for me and my toys which I am just about done with... I have also been working on my family room.. I'll get some better before and after pics, but for now, here is a before and after so far... I just got my 50" Panny HD Plasma hung a week ago, and DTV was just here installing my new dish and HD DVR... I still have some book shelves to install, Pergo floor, and tile the fireplace... but its getting there...
