Well this winter I'll be working on a couple of pumps, making a frame to display my Sinclair mobile and a 1955 Penn Yan runabout wood boat. That should keep me out of trouble until spring.

So what's on your winter to do list?

Good topic, I hope to get time to work on a Bennett 373 and another 371, Tokheim 36B and an 850 too!

Waking up each day!😀

It seems like anymore the seasons just sort of overlap each other and wintertime in the shop isn't much different from summer and I don't seem to get much finished either way. I have a few more hours to finish my Sell-A-Vision pump and hope to start on a couple more this winter. I seem to have this globe addiction and since I keep buying them I am going to have to build another shelf or two if I want to display them. I told myself when I built my showroom a couple of years ago that when it was full I would stop buying and start upgrading what I had. That hasn't worked for me so far. That boat project looks like more than a winter's worth of work for me Les.....GB
I can certainly relate to the waking up comment, but assuming that happens, I plan on putting together a Tokheim 36B DP, working on my G&B TC pump and hopefully organizing my little shop.

Dang that is one great pump Marshall and it looks like you have a very cool shop. That would get my butt out of bed every morning. GB, we don't get spring around here till the end of May so I should be close. I hope.

I started building a new garage early last year and it is now nearly completed. Part of the collection is now slowly being moved in from my overcrowded house. The second floor is where I have begun. I am happily surprised by some of it that has either been in storage for so long or just tucked away unnoticed and now I can properly display it. This will be an ongoing project but I am in no rush. For me it is Christmas every time I am in the garage. Cheers, Don.
