    Photo album? That's a good idea. But, I would have to take down some of my Beer Can collection to make room it.

    Wait, that's no collection that's last weeks empties ! Damn did the wife leave me again?

    Seriously, I sure LOVED that Bud Light house on the Superbowl commercial !

        Will she make the trip?

        During a leg last October on the Northeast Rod Run, Boob, TigerSnake/Dale Frier and 1oldgoat/Keith (a.k.a. the Canadians) made a stop at this l?il, tiny weeny gas station/general store in the middle of Vermont. As we had ~ 25 cars in the herd, the stop took a bit of time. We get around to talking to the owner, who was doing some repairs to the building's doors. He asks us if we would like to see his latest project 'out back'. Low and behold, a craftsman's handiwork (59 El Camino ? under wraps). He said she'll be on the tour but unfortunately, I didn't get the junkie's name or number. ???

          Well, Tom, I didn't realize you ran around with a measuring stick for such observations :-[

          Perhaps if it was a teeny weeny gas station he would have been building a Ranchero instead. :-*

            Not really pondering, but I sure am happy to be away from this project for the weekend.

                        What the heck is that thing Matt ? Kitchen, bath, morutary ? Looks like your light is sitting on a casket or display area of some sort. I bet you wish those things were in sheets instead of singles !

                            You'd be correct Ed. One of three kitchens in the house.

                            They actually did come in sheets, but not in a herring bone pattern so they had to be seperated before I could even start.

                              The tile looks pretty cool Matt. I just tiled our kitchen backsplash a couple weeks ago, used some glass tile mixed in with flat ceramic tile. Turned out pretty well, I had never done it before. I think I am ready to take on redoing the bathroom tile now but Mike says nooo. Will have him talked into it for next winters project.
