Work progresses

Well, the destruction.... er .... deconstruction of the Coronet continues. We managed to wrestle off the front driver's side fender and driver's door.  The window on the driver's door, however.....

So first the good news:

Here is the newly removed fender and door

And the bad news, what is left of the glass of the drivers side door

I should know better by now, and I suppose I do....  We were trying to get the widow out of the door and I could tell Joe was getting frustrated.  I should have called a "time out" and made him go sit somewhere and I dunno maybe get a drink of water....  Anyway, he was becoming pretty rough with the window and I thought "it is going to break", I closed my eyes and turned my face away when

CRASH

There went the window.  There is literally broken glass everywhere.  We swept up and tried to continue, but the frustration threshold had been maxed out and I had started the day with a migraine,so I was eager to call it a day!! 

There is part of the window track and the little triangle vent window that I would REALLY like to keep intact so I definitely need to get some help on the removal of those items and I don't want to have the rear windows broken on removal, so I am not sure what to do there.....

Here are some super creepy pictures of the spider webs that are everywhere:

I think that is enough excitement for one post!!  Will continue to update the blog as we move forward with or without setbacks!!

Back from Vacation

Well all good things must come to an end....I return to work tomorrow after having this past week off for vacation.

This year for our 5th wedding anniversary, we took a cruise to Mexico and visited the Ruins of Tulum.  Yes we took a Carnival Cruise and everything was fine.  I was armed with the patch and enough stomach medicines to make it the 4 days at sea!! 

The Ruins are amazing, would highly recommend them to anyone who may be interested in ancient culture or just to see something so old and cool!!  LOL.  Unlike the ruins at Altun Ha in Belize, we were not able to climb these pyramids but still able to take some fantastic pictures:

Now for those who aren't aware, Tulum sits on a bluff over looking the Gulf of Mexico, so these ruins have been exposed to hurricanes, salt water and intense sunshine for thousands of years.  They have also been exposed to invaders and looting.  So no one can fault the government for trying to preserve these ruins.
As I mentioned these ruins are on a bluff, and there is a private beach, but I didn't go in the water.  However, got some amazing photos of the beautiful vistas:

It's all very "Pirates of the Caribbean" looking and just beautiful!!

It is nice to be home, though.  I REALLY missed the kittens and my pillows....  LOL!!  Hopefully more car updates soon!!
