Custom Garden Tractors- Today I got the hood wet sanded and I sprayed three nice coats of John Deere Green Paint on it. After drying all afternoon I set it back up on the tractor and put one screw in the side emblem to get a idea how it is going to look. I am very happy how it looks. Much more real looking like the real one without the side yellow stripes going the full length of both sides of the hood. Now i will let it set at least two more full days before I sand on the new paint and start to buff it out.
Labor Day Weekend – Not sure how much I will work in the shop the next few days anyway because this weekend is always bitter sweet. Were not going down to the farm this weekend because of all the heavy traffic that will be on the roads starting Friday morning heading up north. We may just stay close to home and do a couple short drives in the country off the main highways. We can’t sit home though knowing this is it and next Tues. summer is officially over. The weatherman is saying high temps on Labor Day in the 60’s .
The good news is we can start marking off the calendar for our next trip to D.C. to see Nicole, Bill and Terak. (:>)
We do facetime with them several times every week and that keeps us very connected and we get to see Terak grow each week and learn new words he shares with us. So far they have been all good words , well almost all good words , ha,ha.
Have a great and safe Labor Day Weekend
