1/8/22 little more progress , they can work on wood finish while paint shop works on bed and tank I am so anxious to push this girl over the finish line ! Lol tony

Thank you ! This is very informative and comforting . interesting my normal visits to Doc my 0-2 Sat is generally 94 to 96 for years now . thanks , Tony

1/7/22 Thank you for your well wishes ! I would like to respond to them ! An update as of 1/6/22 Doc said my lungs sound much clearer. As you know I was taken by Ambulance to hospital after passing out due to intense cough and diagnosed with severely infected double pneumonia. They started me on three types of Antibiotics IV four nights and oxygen immediately was in for five days. Sent me home on 12/19/21 on 4 liters of oxygen , I am now down to 2 liters On 12/14/21, going in to hospital He administered covid test , it came back Negative ! So far all my tests have been negative but many of my symthoms mimic covid less the fever. 12/19/21 and 1/4/22 was given covid tests all negative. I have been cleared to start walking in the yard and monitor my oxygen. I am thinking next week I'll go down to one liter and see how my walks do. Only set back now is I have broken out in red rash and bad itching, Doc gave me Kenalog shot and said, give it two days , its very uncomfortable. Not shingles, He thinks its a allergic reaction to meds Thank you all for the support and my point here is to say; take care of your selves, if you get a cough and your breathing feels affected get to a doctor quick, these maladies these days are moving at speed of light or we are just getting older. Praying that I will be up to par to chair the Calif. Antique Farm Equipment show come April 21, 22,23/22 Tony

Thank You ! I have reached the point that I have my hands full with maintenance. I have to believe that the baler project was my last big project. Just waiting on the flatbed truck being done. Coincidently my energy and money are both fading with ever birthday ! lol Good To hear from you, Tony

1/5/22 Good news , They tell me all systems under hood is complete except for propane, parts are caught in holiday freight backlog. Now its a matter of powder coating, top plate and bottom of bed black then painting bed frame, Head acke frame and tank, lift, Red. Tank hold down mount will go for chroming. After that then the wood around bed. Not sure if exhaust system is made yet. It will be simple Duels coming out behind rear tires Tony

Happy Belated Birthday ! Tony

Thank You ! Wishing you and family Happy New year ! Tony
