Roxie is very dead-for now. About two months ago she threw a rod on the San Rafel Bridge, destroying the motor. Sadly this is beyond my financial scope-so I have decided to try the <b><i><a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-save-my-truck-roxie/x/7581754">crowdfunding</a></i></b> route. I have offered several perks that hopefully be of interest. A little goes a long way. please spread the word.s.a.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08520269065921970220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762652237603914768.post-35617461936995911402012-12-27T19:41:00.002-08:002012-12-27T19:43:26.417-08:00Good Wood<div style="text-align: center;">

Remember the old truck I worked on? well I did and when I heard it was up for sale I decided to give myself an early Holiday prezzie. After stripping of the old deck I crafted a new one. Insurance and DMV was dealt with and christened the name "<b>Roxy</b>" she was put right into use.<br />

No, I do not counterfeit, But I do on occasion hang wallpaper, lucky the client had some easy pre-glued paper, so an after noon with a spray bottle, a ladder , some sharp craft blades and help from the client and we had this. I normally charge extra for people want to help, but since it came out so well I let it slide.<br />

..Even the her pug Rudy approved.<br />
