The weekend is here once again what are everyones Plans?

I have a work meeting in commerce this morning so that is gonna ruin most of my Saturday
 
I had laparoscopic surgery on my inguinal hernia Tuesday afternoon, so it looks like a few days of R&R in the easy chair.
Dr says no Glamis for six weeks. Oh man your killing me smalls!

Grandson is over working on the 65 ranchero, hopefully get the new 5.0 with some fire in the hole.
 
Hernias suck... mine was july and still feel it.... my dr says his took 2 years for the mesh feeling to go away.... at least not as numb now.
 
Sadly a few of my friends went from OC to tecate for lunch on Thursday through the twisties. On the way back a boarder patrol truck was chasing some illegals and crossed the double yellow on a two lane highway. One of my friends went all the way down the side of the truck. Took the mirror off with his face. Fractured T3 and L3 6 ribs broken ( one exploded) and messed up his left hand bad. Then drove off the road and hit a ditch and broke his forks. Air lifted to San Diego. He’s in a lot of pain. He was the 3rd of 4 riders on the road. They had to make a molded back brace he will wear for the next 3 months. Praying for speedy recovery

Resting from the crazy week getting all customers cars ready for the dunes. Some families are already arriving today from Utah for Christmas Watching some football. Small maintenance on one of my tractors. Got a new tool called a grease buster. To clean out s plugged grease passage. Used it for an hour with no success. ( removing this pin is not an option) going to weld on an air hammer bit to it to accelerate the process. Having dinner under our newly constructed pavilion and a little jacuzzi time

i asked my daughter to help me shop for mom, so i pick her up at one after she got off work. she drug me thru 2 malls, one outside mall, cost me lunch, and a final target run, and i can barely walk now, my backs on fire lol. i now remember why i hate malls, damn place was like herding cattle in there.
 
Helped set up for the surprise of my future son in law asking my daughter to marry him.

Got it running again after the previous motor rod knocked after 17 trusty seasons of mayhem. This time around it’s an SR20VET (Nissan’s version of VTEC, with a GT28RS force feeding it), 280hp stock breathing through small air boxes and cats. Should be about 300whp all said and done once I screw with the boost.

Just need to swap the the valve cover and my reinforced oil pan and dune season is back on.
