Alright so build progress slowed considerably since a co worker backed into her as well as mother nature starting off winter with a bang!!
here is the crash thread

but that aside as mentioned on December 21st mother nature unleashed a fury of an ice storm on southern Ontario! I am quite surprised that another member hasn't posted about it as it knocked out power for many through the holidays! Fortunately we were only without power for 12 hours, my parents however were down for 46 hours and other family for 9 days!!
heres some quick picks of the ice and down trees in my neighborhood
backyard: our 25 year old maple lost a third of her size

It was pretty crazy stuff as the ice came on quick but thankfully it wasn't worse. It really puts in perspective how troubling storms can be in hurricane alley or a floodplain!
Bad news on my part was that I have been working like crazy and hadn't had a chance to put away my work wheels....
BUT... my truck which is normally parked outdoor was under cover in the shop from the repair! So although the repair took much longer than expected I was glad she was protected. Here she is now...
since the motor was rebuilt I have been running my stock lights rather than my FX-R projectors. before I put the truck away I wanted to adjust the cutoff of the projector, ran out of adjustment and now there are bits floating around in the light and still not sitting properly. I bought them used as such the were installed by another member so I have picked up another set of bowls and plan on redoing them :rolleyez:
