Baby Pictures

Published by John under Hot Rod

There’s been too much going on during these last few days again for me to sit down at the end of the day and write, but another year has passed since Jack’s last birthday.
Happy Birthday Jack!

Last night’s "Midnight Oil" session at Bob’s hangar ended earlier than anticipated (~1:30AM this morning) since we accomplished what we set out to do and had a good time doing it.

Today we tried to take a break from most of the activity to enjoy Jack’s special day with him, but still managed to take a few minutes to unload the Dodge Bros pick-up into the garage (Yes, It’s a Hemi :-) ) and I got a few quick "baby pictures", as Karen so eloquently calls them, before we start to do anything to it with some fresh steel that Bob’s picking up.

… and the Model A chassis had somehow landed before I woke this morning:

While we were pulling back into the driveway on our way home from seeing Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 3D,  we found Lonny dropping off his tractor so we could fix the brush hog:
Lonny's Tractor

 

We went inside for cake, presents and a general good time. Right now, David is out back riding his dirtbike

and Jack and his Mom are picking up some pizza.

 

Just another typical day at Colorado Melons ;-) along with a great, big,

Happy Birthday
Jack !!
