I'm sorry I got a little too riled over your post, I took it that you
were throwing off on my guys I guess I'm a little over protective.

That he does - I'm glad to hear none of your vehicles are getting wet
and neglected. There's an MV collector near me that restores WWII
vehicles to rent out to movie companies, and when they are done, they
sit out in the rain and start rusting again. He has more money than
sense I guess.
I can sympathize (sp?) with you about your child, I am a single parent
of a three-year old girl, so time is at a premium for anything in my
life, much less my hobbies. The spare time I do spend, outside of
playtime with my daughter, is spent wrenching in the yard on my MV
projects. NExt one due is my 1967 M725 ambulance, which is currently
not running, but complete with little rust. Will be a show
entry/occassional driver until the next project.
Got a nastygram back from George, who took offense to me using the term
"bitch" in my email. I meant is lightheartedly, he took is as a direct
angry complaint against him and the TI site. Even asked me "where is
YOUR website?". I don't have a website, beyond doing email, I know
little about web design. I spend my time wrenching. Anyways, hope
George isn't too pissed off.
I really do like your site - best club one out there. We who are not TI
members really like seeing the progress you guys make on projects of
yours, it gives us motivation to do our own projects. Keep up the good
work!
Mike
