Well,I had some messages about why I haven't been on much,and there were a couple reasons.The first was the passing of our friend,Dick Bennet,which really hit me hard.To me,it just wasn't the same anymore.the I finally realized that although DB is gone,his memory will live on for a long time to come.
Then last November I decided to get off my duff,and start working on my garage,which some who have been here would tell you,it was kind of a mess.After months of insulating,wiring,drywalling and painting(I hate painting)I finally started to move things in and decorate a bit.Heres a short vid on how it turned out...still a bit of work to do,(hang signs) but it's coming along!..music used by permission from Tokheim..hope you like it.

Aw Mick-you ruined it. Just kidding it looks amazing- Im just jealous as I dont have a garage, rather just an aisle way. I was thinking again yesterday when searching through old posts what a great loss and big change to Oldgas the passing of DB caused...

I really like the way the floor turned out! You have inspired me to do the floor in my shop, but I have a pretty full summer planned, so we'll see if it happens?
Great job on the total project--you have some time involved!
