worked all day saturday, but i finished it!!
seats, dash, trim, seatbelts,
even put a neon inside as a domeliight.
(in the pic the glow is simulated, because it didnt show up with the flash.)


first pic: who knew there were gonna be so many parts!???
the others are of the finished job.

A friend of mine brought over his suburban on sunday and gave it to me.
It dosent run but, I have and will be using it for spare parts until I either use it all up or it becomes eyesoreish.

my project for this week is to take the interior out of it and transplant it into mine. mine has a nice exterior but a rather ratty getting brown interior with bench seats that are wearing thru.

the stripper as i am calling it, is all blue inside, has bucket seats, with arm...

ok so today I upgraded my work pc to xp from 2000
the install didnt take.
I reinstalled and now its a dual boot. one that works and cant find the network, printer, plotter, or web.
and one that wont boot. all my programs are on the boot folder that wont boot. theyre there but wont run because the dlls wont load.
no data was lost but i gotta manually config all the connections because our network is ooold and has static ip addys. and no one knows the passwords for admin....

At our house we have a birdfeeder for the sparrows and finches. they are kinda fun to watch, especially when the fledglings first start to organize some order of feeder dominance.
the seed husks I cold do without, but thats not the point of todays rambling.

We have a pair (at least) of desert dove that unlike most of the others, seem to want to come in our house. they dont fly in, just wander in like a pigeon and look around like they are gonna move in or something.
...

our computer plotter is acting up at work. or, at least i think its the plotter. prints autocad files fine but ask it to print a pdf from reader or acrobat and whoa: things get all stoopid.
it spools the files and then freezes up. have to use taskmanager and close acrobat. then it prints fine.
but the title blocks won't print. (on the small printer they will and it dosent freeze up.)

I think its a bad driver file.

I'm not all that happy with it because...
