Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for October 05, 2023

I handled a hoard with about 20 minutes work maybe twice a day [recovering medically] and it can be surprising how even a little work, done over time, can get a lot done.

Q: How do you eat an elephant? A: One bite at a time.

Small victories, Baldo!

Well done! :-))

I’m taking my time but I don’t know where. Goodbye Rosie, queen of Corona.

Keep buffing Baldo…keep it up!

Didn’t the car used to be red? Or am I dreaming again?

You’ll get there eventually, Baldo.

Where am I goin’? I don’t know

When will I be there? I ain’t certain

What will I get? I ain’t equipped to say

But, who gives a d—n – We’re on our way!

(“I’m On My Way,” from “Paint Your Wagon,” Lerner & Lowe)

So many years so little progress

“I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m making good time!”

Not as long as he keeps it propped up on concrete blocks, which are extremely unsafe. Jack stands would be a great investment

Just for the record, putting a car on concrete blocks is a good way to end up with broken blocks and a damaged car. Especially if the block is oriented the way he has it. At the very least turn the block so that the axle is above a solid side, not suspended on a bridge. Blocks are designed to withstand compression, but have very little strength in any ‘bridge’ configuration. Please don’t try this at home!

Hope springs eternal even when the situation seems hopeless.

As a woodcarver I know the satisfaction of small successes to get the effect you want. No one else needs to see the progress as long as I see it

It’s a start. Give him some praise!
