Nice pictures, really nice. How much yard work were you thinking about while you did this cute display?

You know how it goes guys (I know Ed does ), you have the best of intentions of doing all that nasty <u>fill-in-the-blank </u> work, but that car project just keeps calling you back. It was a good day. I got half of all the yard work I intended on doing, but got a good fill of Nova projects done!!

As for the "cute display", I have always been fascinated by women's synchronized swimming, particularly those aerial shots of the cool designs they make.... (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it)

Nice job. Did you have to re-dye or re-sew the belts?

Hey Denis - I did have to redye the belts due to mild sun fade (western PA). They were turning a deep blue. I used "Rit" in hot water, stirred regularly, for 2 sessions of 1 hour a piece. I couldn't get my field stove working so the Mrs. kindly allowed me to use her stove.

I did not need to resew seams or tags - they were in nice shape. I only dyed up to the tags so as not to get dye on them.
