Gremlin Garage II gets some permanent residents, finally!



 Whew, took awhile, but I am finally re-subscribed to
the amc-list. Not sure what went wrong, but got an
Unscribe notice a few weeks ago,and it's been hell
trying to resub since. I guess I'm too stupid to
follow the directions at AMX-files, as I kept trying,
and it kept rejecting my efforts. Wasn't sure where to
put Subscribe or Join in body, suject line, etc., with
or without my email address... Sheesh. 
 ANYWAY....I made a trip down last week to Crewe, VA
and stayed for 3 days, and got 3 cars moved, my '70
Hornet 4-door SST, a '70 Javelin 304/3-speed ( got it
running after 5 years!), and my '55 Chevy Suburban
panel truck. Was hoping to go again this week, but
have been thwarted by my Jeep Cherokee needing front
axle U-joints BADLY, and need to fix that before they
break totally on the road. Also my wife and I have
been having some words (finally) over my "lack of a
job", came to a head last night, guess I"ll have to
abort my "extended vacation" to try to give her
feelings some relief by actually LOOKING for a job
now. Darn women and their (in)security issues....I was
hoping to get all my car shifting done before worrying
about a job hunt, but her emotional distress over my
lack of income ( and some other issues ) have brought
about a need to start looking sooner. Not that I don't
have funds to stay off work awhile...but that's
another issue.  
  Back to the garage - I am having the garage doorway
cut this weekend, hopefully, and then a temporary
wall/door installed to keep out riff-raff until the
final door is installed overhead. I hope to move in 2
or even all 3 of the cars moved now, which will allow
me to fit in the rest of the "fleet" still at the farm
- Matador coupe(s), Spirit V-8 chassis, 2 Gremlins, a
'57 Chevy 4-door, and a VW, and possibly another '70
Javelin. Hope to bring the '74 Javelin wrecked car and
cut it up quickly, keep the back half, and junk the
wrecked front half. That's the goal, anyway. I hope to
get it all done at least by the end of February,
marriage permitting. Seems like a whole lot of time
and energy will be consumed appeasing the wife and her
monetary insecurities from now on. Been thru this
before, different backgrounds and upbringings, we just
don't see eye to eye as far as money goes sometimes.
HOpefully it'll resolve itself, after I make a few
"concessions" to actively look for work now. 
  But, at least my long-term goal of getting my AMC
fleet on property that I OWN, is coming to fruition
finally. May not be as quick as I'd like, but at least
it's now HAPPENING, and that's progress! Sign me,

wife-stressed, unemployed, AMC fleet-movin' Jerry
