For the first week of August, I had originally planned to be up in Seattle to visit Mom’s family (plane ticket was booked), but with the current state of things, we decided it was best to hold off for the time being. So instead, I hung out closer to home. First spending a night down at Rowdy Lake, then headed over to my friends shop in Delta, CO for the next two days. It’s always an enjoyable time hanging out with my pal Jeremiah, his wife Chandra and the rest of the crew at Proffitt’s Cruisers.
I was glad to see that they were continuing to do well despite Covid19. There was a lot of fun projects in the shop to check out. I even had a chance to have Bob and Jeremiah take a look at the paint on the 4runner- something i’d love to get done, but will be a bit down the road.
For my last night, had a enjoyable night at Jeremiah and Chandra’s place above Blue Mesa Reservoir. Watching baby Atlas and the Chickens play together was definitely a highlight.
Now to patiently wait for my Dual ARB Compressor to show up from Proffitt’s:)………
Fj40’s in the shop.
Electrical work on a FJ60. Electrical was never my favorite.
Lots of work in the Paint/Body shop.
The 2.8 seems to be a popular swap at Proffitt’s.
D. Miller for paint.
Bob doing some fiberglass work on a FJ40 top.
A really neat BJ70 from Italy. It has a 5 cylinder Italian motor installed at the factory in Japan. Spotted a lot of writing on it from Madrid, Spain.
Oh look, Jeremiahs on the phone:).
Still lots of work in the yard.
Spotted this image the last time I was at the shop. Still a fun scene.
Another solo evening in the shop.

A happy differential is a good differential:).
Jeremiah and Chandra filming another episode for the YouTube series. #40 I think?
A fine evening above Sapinaro and Blue Mesa Reservoir. Light was perfect to re shoot this super clean FJ62.
