Tv reno in progress, car show, visiting moms and amazing weather, pretty awesome day it was !

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario Canada.

         Gonna be a wonderful hot day, just the way we (I) like it. Early morning walkabout town t-shirt and shorts was wonderful. Stopped by the garage chat with the guys and back home to begin our Tv Reno. The old one is about toast, old technology and need to be repaired. Nobody fixes tv's anymore so time for a new one. 16 years old and has served us well.  Built into the dash of our coach only 22 inches but its having issues. Nothing new will fit there so after researching and measuring found that I can work in a large 32 inch LED tv , lighten out coach and have more storage.
        Couple days ago we picked up this 32 inch Tv at "Canadian Tire" on sale for $219.00 plus we still had $45.00 in Canadian Tire money so it was a good  deal. Tried it out and will work just fine. But I need to do some modifications. "I can do that" I says!

this be the old tv

it is huge and very heavy

this be the new tv, love it!

     Took the old tv to Dundee Recycling about 10 minutes away. They weighed it (44lbs!) and got $3.50 for it, paid for the gas go go there at least. Better than nothing! New Tv about 8 lbs!

we take our stuff here for cash

        Just puttered some more, and bite for lunch. Then walked to the park in town for 1 pm they having a car cruise there. When I arrived about 50 or so cars there, old music playing, food available and some great looking cars  as well.
       Below is a few picks of some of the nicer ones I checked out.

     And ran into an old friend Steve has this extreme rod, one of many that he has built, Chatted with him for quite a while, remembering old times.
