Ok, sitting here at the office nearly bored out of my skull...thought I would give a shout out.

I've been homeless since March 30 2017 when I sold my home. Just yesterday morning I bought 5.6 acres of land not too far out of town and plan to build something to retire in. Thinking a metal pole barn/building with living quarters in the back...40'x60' w/attached awning to park the race rig under.



Picked up a couple of toys to keep me occupied the remainder of my years... two 1965 El Caminos.









Hope to have the building completed by mid-year so I can get back to some semblance of normalcy. I won't have any high speed internet out there...maybe some kind of dish thing. Hope all have a great year ahead!

Heya Rick
Whats the landscape like on yer 5.6 acres? Looks to be green and fairly level. Nice place to be at peace, away from pesky neighbors. We've been thinking of selling and picking up a few acres of Agriculture land to raise our Danes and run our breeding business. We got about three years left before we retire ourselves.
Happy New Year

No pictures of the site yet, but yeah fairly secluded without feeling you are super isolated. Looking forward to spending my time doing other things for sure.

Guys are coming Sunday morning to make/install the gutters which it sorely needs. I have about half of the apartment insulated right now...the rest will follow after the firewall is sheetrocked and I run the lineset's for the HVAC unit.

Amazing looking cars, Rick. Love the red color on the 1965 El Camino. It looks so sexy. What are your plans with the cars?

[rickss69]

Both El Camino's are gone. The red one I never took delivery of because the seller on ebay actually resold it after I had made payment and was awaiting transportation...yep, some real winners out there in the world. After that I decided to shed myself of the blue one as well because it was misrepresented by the seller...my fault for not having it checked out before purchasing.

Anyway, I picked up this '47 Chevy Rat truck above Chicago recently and plan to redo it to my liking once I have the shop completed.



Already stripped some of the metal off it. The bed will be the next thing to go replaced with a homemade flat bed of my design. The truck cab is sitting on a chopped '87 Chevy one ton dually chassis with a '89 Dodge Cummins turbo diesel stuffed between the rails.





The shop is built and they are putting metal on it atm. I don't have any pictures on this laptop right now, but I will post some soon of the progress. Hope everyone is doing well.
