It's been ages since I got around to typing anything here.
I've been rather busy both at home - and sort-of at work. I say sort-of 'cause we're busy, but we still have enough time to be able to stop and chat.
Life on the home-front is moving along well. Landy was collected yesterday from the school that was busy preparing him for painting. Their part was completed after they applied a coat of grey primer. I was quite surprised as to how good he looks in grey! Not that I want to keep him that colour though.
After collecting him, we took him down to the Body repair shop where he is to get his colour coat. Had a chat to one of the guys there about the colour - 'cause he said "I believe you want to spray him beige... come have a look here, and tell me if this is the colour you're thinking of."
Well, the truth is that I had actually... finally... decided that I wanted him beige. So I got to making up my mind!
What he showed me was exactly what I had in mind. I'm so glad I don't have to still try to get them to understand what I want. Makes things so much easier.
After work I popped around there again, 'cause I'd completely forgotten to get a pic or two of Landy at this atage of the process. This worked out great, as I got to meet the boss of the place - the son of the guy who had said he'd arrange the painting of Landy. We had a good chat, got to understand one another a bit better, and now I'm waiting for him to contact me so that we can discuss the actual work in some more detail.
Since I got the news that Landy was finished at the school I've been feeling strangely nervous. Almost as though I wasn't really expecting to get this far. LORD, I thank you for all the arrangements you have made in the preparation of Landy. You're awesome!
That's what the latter portion of last week focussed on. Today was on doing re-repairs to a friend's car. Last weekend was spent replacing the water pump. Today was spent figuring and addressing the cause of constant water loss. Turned out that one "blerry" bolt was a little too long, and when fastened, it pressed an indentation into the water pump casing alongside the thermostat. This upset the whole sealing ability of the thermostat cover.
But, thanks again to the Lord, that's sorted now. Took the car for a drive, and all's well.
So... what does tomorrow hold?
No idea right now.
BUT! I do know who hold tomorrow!!
