Summing Up The Week!

I'm home for the weekend from a grueling first week of training. I think the remainder of the month will be somewhat easier on the old brain although just as busy. I'm pretty much busy day and night with assignments. Next week, we will begin learning protocols for all the different test batteries and actually testing children. I've washed my laundry, bought some food, and will be repacking tonight.

Last weekend before I left town I didn't get the chance to document the jeep progress. Rick is mostly through with the engine; it's running and very shiny. Last Saturday he got a friend to help hoist the "other" part down on the frame. Now it's time for all his attention to be devoted to the exterior. As you can see, it's going to be one of those "before and after extreme makeover" deals. Stay tuned.....

Rick, Jonah and Justin are at the races at Texas Motor Speedway. I think Keelie was running in a Komen race today, and Jenna is in Lubbock visiting friends. So no grass growing under our feet around here......

Jeep Journal

This week was a big one! Lots of progress for sure. Rick now has the jeep not only running, but it has brakes to stop it! He took it out for a run. How do you like that temp seat?

 Jeepers

I wanted to share some pics of the Willys jeep restoration that Rick is doing. Just remember I promised to bore you with updates now and then.

This is a picture before he began on it. Here you can find the story and more pics.

Our Vintage Baby

This is the jeep I mentioned a couple of posts ago. We have actually owned her once before. We were fortunate to be able to secure her again just recently.


Yeah, I know she doesn't look like much. But just give Rick a few months......she'll be looking mighty fine!

1947 Willys CJ2A

I'll be documenting the restoration process with more photos later. And aren't you going to be lucky?  I'm sure I will be boring you with them! HA
