Got that right !!! Crazy how busy things are at work !!! I hope you all had a chance to see the debut of the electric Silverado, as the interior is my baby. GMC is coming too !!! Lots of work to do, as the electrification of our industry continues.
Garage project is near completion, more pics to follow !!! All my free time has been getting it setup inside, a little decorating, audio system hook up, tons more to do !!!
And, we started another project about a year ago (this time for the Mrs), a 500 sq ft addition on the back of the house, blow out old back wall, and open up the kitchen/dining/living room area!!! I'll start another thread for that one, cause it's very exciting to me as well !!! This is our forever home, so we're making it exactly what we want !!!
I've been meaning to get back here, but, heck, no excuse, I love this forum and the members here. Learned a lot, made many friends, and appreciated everyone's help along my journey.

Hey Dave!
So cool you're working on something like this. Do you get to shape the ergos?
Sounds like you're keeping busy.
Hope you've still got some time/inspiration for tunes.
Have you spent much time with your L800s yet?Post edited by msg onI disabled signatures. -

Good to hear you are doing well!!
Quick sidenote/derail....but serious question if I may.... maybe you have insight....
Will GM, EVER ....add reclining rear seats to their pickups?
RAM does, even with the seat against the rear window.
Ford or GM doesn't have this option.
I would love a pickup but if I'm taking a roadtrip with the fam, I want my passengers to be comfortable. I have passed on the Silverado/Sierra the last 2 generations because of this.
So many friends and I have the same views, want to move from a SUV to a pickup, mainly a 2500 for towing but need it for a roadtrip also.
Hopefully GM is doing this.
Take care man!! -
