You guys have some awesome winter activities. We don't get a winter like that even this far south. Almost makes me wish we did. I did say ALMOST

I'm busy finishing up my 1910 REO truck replica. I've started gathering parts for my speedster build, my wire wheels arrived yesterday and I have a line on a donor running gear vehicle. I'll have enough to keep me busy, lol.

I am truly amazed at the talent (sometimes) hidden, when you open the doors and walk into this great FordBarn Forum.. just a sampling I suppose, of all that is here, and in the Model A/T hobby.!

Kindle version should be out, I don't know why it isn't. I did pay for the setup and all. I will inquire. Thanks for the interest. This year I'll put out a book of Firehouse stories, just the ones we can tell. Watch for that on Amazon under my name, David K. Mc Arthur It should be there come spring.

I have been pushing on my coupe and have neglected my other cars. I have lots to work on. Starting with Top and interior on the coupe. The magneto on the '10 Overland needs some work, the starter on the '22 Buick needs rebuilt, the steering box on the '30 Chevy needs rebuilt and lastly my stock A roadster needs brake work. I have too many things to do. I have to figure out what takes priority and take them on one at a time.
