Watched Christopher Get married Last Saturday..... he is but 18 and of
course I am worried about him.... His new bride came into the business
today to pick him up... and I mentioned his round arch Midget sitting in my
shop taking up space and wanting wear.... She didn't even know it
existed...." what do you mean he owns a sports car".... Needless to say I
think I conned them both into fixing up the midget for a second car... Dad
has 5 parts cars.. and a complete new interior and top... and the ability
and materials on hand to paint it and sort out the little stuff...hmmm
Maybe I can reaquire that shop space... for the Bugeye Landspeed racer....
I am liking all of this....
