Quick cup O' Java

Hello my friends, please sit down grab a cup of coffee and relax. I'm glad you dropped by! Sorry for the mess you see around you, unfortunately these days I have many more projects and todo items than I have time, energy or ambition to finish. I guess all will be done in good time. My basement is coming along nicely, but there is still so much to do and my weekends are on-going dilemmas as to whether I should work outside on the yard, attend to the wishes and needs of my family or get back to some of my other projects that never seem to get enough of my attention.

I took another step towards working on my electic vehicle, but I'm afraid that project too has suffered some neglect in the past few months. I purchased the electronic brains called the motor controller from an outfit in the South Carolina. I'm currently tracking its progress as it comes up the East coast. Having purchased this part I'm a little closer to having all of the material necessary to start the final push for the re-assembly of the car. In its current state the Festy is sitting in my driveway with most of its innards removed and big holes in the rather rusted floor boards. I'm hoping in the next few weeks to complete the repairs on the floor and to start patching up the rest of the interior to stregthen and prepare for the installation of the battery boxes. I'm going to revamp the project website of the electric Festiva project and in the next few weeks I should be able to change all the content over to the new blog-type site. This will allow me to update the site faster and visitors can subscribe to an RSS feed to keep tabs on the progress of the project.

I hope to update this blog with my other projects as well including pics of the basement and even a little write-up on a few smaller renovation projects and workshop endeavours now that my garage has been cleaned up a bit I can finally get to some of the other little projects I've had on hold for quite some time.

that's it for now...
