Out of commission. It' been awhile since posting. For most of the winter I have been battling severe pain I my shoulders. I couldn't get much done at work and almost nothing at home. when I did work on the truck I was in so much pain afterward that I couldn't sleep. Hand hammering any of the welds on the roof was unbearable. I even built a hand held planishing hammer for working on the roof. It worked well. In March I started working on finding out the shoulder issues. long story short. I have just been operated on for torn rotator cuff and detached bicep on the right shoulder. I'm told by the Dr that I won't be doing anything that takes any strength for a while. At least three months before any therapy for strengthening. This also includes no motorcycle. I'm not even supposed to drive. The doctor also thinks the left shoulder is torn but no MRI to really tell until the other side is healed up. I will still be here watching everything. It is nice to have a place come and keep my spirits.
 
Best wishes for your healing. My son is going through this right now as well. He is waiting for the surgery dats right now.
 
I’v been working on the truck a little. The shoulder is getting better slowly. I’ve gotten the exhaust mocked up and one side the pipes are all welded together. The welds are ugly but will hold. I’m still learning this tig welding thing. Stainless is harder than regular steel

Looking good. Really happy to see you getting to do some work on it. Over the last couple years I've been shut down twice with some health issues where I couldn't do anything but look, so I know how great it feels to jump back on it. Keep on with it Kenny!
