Re: Completion excuses??
 

Be your debonair self Bill & just tell the truth, i.e.:

"All white wall tires are presently out-of -stock & you would never fathom hitting the road with a set of new cheap black-wall tires."

Man I am so understanding this now, my winter goal was to install a 1939 tranny in my car and it took a lot to finally get started in January. Once I got rolling it was easier but the work load and money spent has expedited many times. Tranny has lead to cleaning and painting the entire underside. I'm now on the front brakes and with the help of Randy Gross the front will be done RIGHT with new everything. I going to reline the rear shoes as I have about run out of money to go any further:( I decided to drain and replace the antifreeze and to check all the wiring and encase it in conduit instead of just having it hang everywhere.

I ran out of excuses in November and December so I can't help you with that Bill but I do sympathize about the pain part. I'm hurting right now and thank God for
12 hour Aleve:)

Back to work in WV

My carpal tunnel in both hands prevent me from turning a wrench.

My carpal tunnel surgery in both hands was successful, but hands are not quite healed up.

True reasons for delaying the installation of the overdrive unit in my 28 Tudor.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

I ain't retired yet and my boss sends me all over the world. I sure miss my Model A....er, ah, I mean my wife when I am on those trips.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Bill,

What does Buster-T think about your doing everything in black?

If you ever get a notion to paint Buster-T black you better get some decoys & a duck call -- he may think he is a Labrador Retriever instead of a Rat Terrier.

But as a Retriever, the bonus is his maybe going out to retrieve the newspaper which could save you 5 minutes every morning -- 35 minutes a week, & 2 hours & 30 minutes a month.

Plus, you could try doubling his water ration & he could help water the lawn for you -- another extra 2 hours of Model A time per month.

I'm sure both of you can work it out -- never give up & always consider thinking on the positive side Bill.

Too busy playing MMO games.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Your right on, "Doc Martin" is great stuff ! Try "Murdoch Mysteries",
also great stuff.....I think my Mom would have liked both.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

I've got 6 cars, 4 of which are model a's that are constantly having something done to each one of them. So they all eventually turn into rolling projects. I can't finish one without starting on a new car. Still trying to find time to finish the speedster, get my coupe tuned in, and get the deluxe phaeton project started.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

The guy painting my car had to have hip surgery........twice!!!!

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Gee whiz, Bill, I look for excuses to NOT go out in the garage a work on my Master Cylinder and other stuff, But I have an excuse! I'm not in sunny Californicate! After two hours I'm frozen to the bone in our "moderate" Pennsylvania climate. And the going underneath on the hard, cold cement is taking it's toll. I don't know about Doc Martin, might be a bad influence! And those ears! And he hates dogs, and, and he can't stand the sight of blood. He should have been here a few days ago, Maybe not. I tried to cut my left index finger of with my 4 1/2" grinder. That was fun! It hurt too. Ah well, it's usually the right one that almost gets amputated. I see my shiver proof jacket that I wear when i'm going under, it's all warmed up again from last night. wish me luck!

"Its too cold to go out in the shop in the winter"
Oh that's right we live in California. What winter?

Re: Completion excuses??

Re: Completion excuses??
 

when women say it, its the only excuse you need to not do anything. :D

Re: Completion excuses??
 

1. My garage is too small, no room to work on them during the winter, with 3 cars and a motorcycle in there.
2. The checks only come in once a month.
3. Waiting for parts.
4. My honey wants the bedroom painted.
5. Hurt my back from shovle'n snow.
6. Too many things to do and so little time.;)

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Aside from running out of money, or no parts, there is the excuse of pulling it apart & forgetting what was wrong with it but it needed fixing.

It's curing, can't touch it yet. How 'bout another martini?

Re: Completion excuses??
 

-Average 70~80 hrs a week for work, soon to be horribly more because of work moving to downtown Chicago making for a daily 4 hr commute.
-Do the cooking and cleaning for the family because the wife is caring for her parents.
-Maintaining the daily drivers.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Thank you, Barn Brothers, for puttin' up with our silliness. Don't really know why, but I just haven't been in the right mood to finish the car. I sense that many of you have hurts, problems, etc, WORSE than ME.
I "think" I have it together now:
Yesterday, as the nurse was taking out my face stitches-------"You got that Model A finished yet"----"NO"!-----"WHY'?----"You want a LIST"?-----"NO, you sound like my husband, he's STUPID & LAZY"! As I zipped out on my NEW scooter, she said, "Goodby, Frank"----"NO, it's BILL"!-----"NO, you're a FRANK"!-----And as I went out the main door, in 3rd speed------"And you're a FAT BROAD"!!!!!----Fortunately, that's my LAST appointment there, WHEW!

Dead broke, after 7 years of constant challanges with having colon cancer, job loss and my youngest daughters illness I will be lucky to still have the house by the end of the year. Working on the A would be a dream. Definately not stuffed with a lie here. Rod

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Most of the above, plus the dog ate the distributor cam lube and the guy at the parts store has never heard of distributors, points, cam, or lube...
And damn that Doc Martin. I was much better off when I thought the show must be about British boots for delinquents.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Randy in Ill above, explained it all very well but left # 7 off of the list. Its too daxx Cooold in the garage (2') this morning. Makes you want to move to California !!:)

Re: Completion excuses??
 

And I thought my hand's were bad!

Re: Completion excuses??
 

The circle of life for me...:o

I can somewhat empathize with Rowdy and I'll pray things improve for you. We lost our daughter at birth a year and a half ago, and my wife almost died before she delivered and despite having heath insurance we had some VERY healthy medical bills, and I'm still paying them off and will be for about another year. Any discretionary spending I had to put toward my model A vaporized right then an there. (Of course keeping perspective I'll take her vs. the car and I'm thankful my wife is now healthy!) Against better judgment I've forged ahead and am still making headway though. I guess you only live once right? and after all it was grandpa's car! Those are my excuses anyway. The car has been good therapy for me.

Re: Completion excuses??
 

I hear you, Dave,
Sad about jr's hands, in post # 12 & let's remember to pray to God for the COMPLETE healing of Rowdy's colon cancer.
My hands are still pretty good, except for an ugly knarled left pinkie, that put the hooks to my wanting to learn the guitar, No big deal!:D
My legs are funky, BUT while out on my scooter, I met a cool dude, with NO legs. I'm thankful for the things I can still do!

Re: Completion excuses??
 

Thankfully I have been cancer free for 6 years. But still have checkups every 6 months and CT scans every year. Everything else that has happened since then has all added up and left us in a tough spot. More bad news just before Christmas this year. Although it will not affect us finacially it sent me into a depression that I am slow to dig myself out of. Rod
