I went over today to recharge the battery and help out anyone who might have been there, but, alas, I was there by myself. I jumped the battery and pulled the van out into the sun. While I was letting the engine run for the recharge, I decided to go ahead and paint the stripes as per the Thursday gang's recommendation to tone down the florescent lower panels. While I was there, Debra stopped by to fit the cyclops eye on the roof. We both got a good laugh and decided that it needed more foaming and carving. Debra is also installing a solar light in the eye for night time illumination. She's enjoying her contribution to the project, besides the van, and took the eye back to her studio for additional work.
It was pretty chilly and windy, and surprisingly it was warmer in the space than out in the sun, so that was a good sign for working indoors now that the weather is starting to feel like November. We should look at our schedules to plan a work party in the very near future, a good chunk of time devoted to making a big dent in this process. It is supposed to be warmer next weekend and that may be a time when we can do it. Also, don't forget, don't play the stereo in the van as it will drain the battery, and since our battery cables have disappeared, jumping would be difficult unless you have a set with you. Any thoughts?
