The Ford turned out great. Glad to hear you taking your turn on the spray gun. Each paint job gets better as you go. Even if it isnt perfect it still looks 100 times better then before. Better watch it, you will be working on disasters like I do soon.lol. But it does take the fear out of seeing an ugly truck and knowing you can make a difference.

Seeing you helped swap cabs should have helped in the confidence area of there isnt much you cant do when you put your mind to it. Great job.

Hahaha... "Hey, let's lock the kid in the truck and see if figuring a way out is in the cards?" Hehe. Miss those years with my kids... They're 21 and 19 now, girls... MUCH different rewards in the later years, like hearing things like "You were right, DAD, sorry I didn't listen to ya", hahaha.

Hmmm, ...well, YOU HOPE he will no longer have anyone to mess with! lol... JK, but you know how it is(seems you do, even at your age).... "We TRY to plan for everything, but ole Murphy's law.... it's a bastage!" lol... You might have to humble yourself and hit him up for advice or something, at some point.... even 'HELP', who knows... But that's ok... can tell ya, as a dad, just LET HIM FEEL USEFUL AND HELPFUL, ... we need that once you guys start leaving! hahahaha. If he gives ya a hard time... Say, "Yep, .. you were right, dad"... it'll shock him so bad he'll probably fall off his chair!, hahaha.

BEST WISHES TO YA, SIR, all kidding aside! I know you're probably VERY anxious... But don't worry, it'll happen how it's supposed to, ya know?
