Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Happy St. Paddy’s day to all… Even if you are only Irish for the day!  Here in the People’s Repub­lic of Tax­achusetts we cel­e­brate it in a spe­cial way, but only if you are an employee of the State!  Today is the hol­i­day aptly named “Evac­u­a­tion Day”, where State employee’s evac­u­ate their posi­tions with pay to drink and party on the tax­payer funded “dime”.  One might ask, why “Evac­u­a­tion Day”, and the sim­ple answer is that as arro­gant and con­de­send­ing as our politi­cians are they sim­ply do not have the “cojones” to call it what it is.

   Spring has sprung here in Mass­a­chu­setts, it was 60 here yes­ter­day, and we are back to busily work­ing to prep the “Gray Lady” for her trip to the paint shop.  We are strip­ping her of all trim, remov­ing the win­dows and track assem­blies and hope to have her in the shop by the first week of April.  The front fend­ers are back on, and the hood will go back later in the week.

   Briefly, to recap, we now have a com­pletely re-built rolling chas­sis and once paint­ing is com­pleted, we will have her out on her first “road trip” hope­fully some­time in early June.  What a cool Birth­day gift that would be for me!
