Things your forget about putting up pictures when you stay away from your blog too long. The extension build for the truck cab mostly.
It is finished now. Do want to put a coat of sealer on top to cover the screw holes on the old sheets later.  I could not make it any longer due to building code restrictions which I'm over  with the whole lean to but just at the property line. Building inspectors say since it's in the middle of the block and not blocking views, no problem. 
    Over 4000 miles on the Corvette since buying it the 29th of March on my birthday. Loving it. Need to get a picture set of it and my truck side by side as they are nearly the same color and are the same '03 year. Did turn over 91K miles on the truck last month and the Vette is at 113K miles now. Hmmmmmm Suzuki Bandit is at 84K on the ometer but corrected over 90K and KLR Kawasaki at 49K miles. The KLR is the oldest with the least miles on it. 
     Last days have been watching Hurricane Walter do it's thing in the gulf and into Texas. And not wanting to go anywhere in a hurry since land fall just North of Corpus. So, been very rain filled time for us and predicted to get worst as the storm progresses inland. Have not checked the rain gauge yet this morning but it was at a 1/2 inch yesterday evening for yesterday. 
     Both lawnmowers out of commission a few days ago when cutting grass. The Self powered Craftsman eat up the gear drive for the front wheels. So took that all apart and order new gear and bearing.  The Dixon ZTR threw the belt when I took it out of engage so put that back together and tighten up the system yesterday. Plus ordered a new belt for it. 
    Yesterday was also watching the final Bassmasters fishing tourny and the last day is today for the finale 12. 
    Also watching the 450 motocross finale races and Tomack getting the Championship for the class. Glad for him. What was a wakeup call was the Dutchman from the World Motorcross coming here to race this one race for KTM and running away from everybody in the first race and coming from dead last in the second race to win it also with a little help from the 1st place rider making a big mistake the last 2 laps and going down. But Marvin did finish 2nd overall. 
    And this morning is MotoGP as was watching the warm ups in England. Races to start a little later this morning. And it is still a light rain outside so the morning walk is out. 
   Till the next.
