 >:(  Anne and I both got Covid.  Both vax, both boosters - still got it.  Stopped us in our tracks. Believe me, you don't want it.

Feeling better now, thank the Lord.

John, glad you and Ann have "beat the beast". Not trying to start a flame war discussion, but, I have not been vaccinated and have not had COVID.  I drive a school bus, so I have definitely been exposed at some time or the other, because certain kids have been removed and placed in quarantine. My doctor advised me to avoid the vaccine because of certain prior health issues, which had not been tested for.  So, I took her advice.

  I have made the decision to quit posting as much due to the lack of dialog/responses when I do post something.....examples: the 4th of July, latest build, etc. etc.
   
  I will still respond to other members post , like I did with this thread.

Thanks all for the comments here.  I am in the middle of my summer hay mowing business and everything else has taken a back seat unfortunately. For those who have had covid I am sorry you were sick. My wife and I made a decision not to get the shots, trusting our immune system. So far so good. Ours was not the right decision for anyone else. It was just a personal decision for us. I respect very strongly that we all get to make those decisions for ourselves.

I have the John Beauchamp 60 Chev on the bench, still needs work. And a 34 Ford Jalopy, in paint but not much else. I have not touched them for at least 6 weeks.

Keep building and we will get the chance to post them sooner or later.

  Not much to report on at this time.....got the body primed.....found some areas that still need some more body work i.e the rear window opening, exhaust pipes opening in the Right side door, discovered that when I repaired one of the roof "A" pillars that it raised the front portion of the roof on that side beyond what it should be,so I cut it out and reworked it correctly this time......back to priming and sanding.

DonĀ“t spent much time on the workbench these days. Way to hot :)
Did some work on the 1/16th Petty/Marty Robbins Dodge but not much to show.

Come home from work, doing some yardwork, enjoy the aircondition and relax.
