Bugs N Brats IV

Well it is the last sat of Sept. That means that it is time to host our shops show. While it is a pita

it is kool at the same time. I have spent the last week cleaning sorting putting away all the extra

vw parts that just seem to accumulate in the dark corners of the shop. I swear it is like the reproduce faster than rabbits. Which would be kool if they were good parts, oh well.Not only do we clean and sort, but I also try to set up displays of some of our processes , still got to do that. Most people do the mass/thorough clean in the spring, but since the show is always in early fall, we do it then.

Our show is a bit different . We don't do registration, trophies , entry fees or anything like that . It is a cookout, bbq, bring what you got kind of show. I suppose that we will have to change that at some point. but not yet.

See you here

fall cleaning

Well we are almost a week away from Bugs n Brats IV. I have been doing a 'fall cleaning' this week and installing a few pieces of equipment that we have bought and not installed, and uninstall a few old pieces . Cleaning out the misc pieces of VW's that seem to collect and multiply all over the shop and get tucked away in the dark corners of the building. I started in back area of the shop and just worked along each wall and keep going till its all done. As of this morning I have on more wall to go, then the front pad. This process takes about 60 to 70 man hrs for the whole shop. the nice thing is I have to do this anyway, ( for my own sanity) . But with Bugs n Brats IV fast approaching, I have to stage the shop with what we have been working on and what process its in and how we do things. We will be having quite a few guest , clients , potential clients and lots of friends over. I like doing this little show. I would like to get our parts room cleaned up and organized my if I get my office cleaned up that would be kool.

On a personal note, Congrats to My brother and my sister in law , they are going to parents again. I love you guys.
