Presents for Me!

Well, as some of you may or may not know, my birthday was July 2nd. I ended up getting some pretty cool gifts from my family this year. I'm the kind of guy who is ALWAYS happy getting clothes. I hate shopping for them, so what better way to freshen up my wardrobe! I did get a few cool "guy" gifts too!

First, from my beautiful wife I got a Trans Am restoration book and from my Mom and Dad I got a really cool embroidered Trans Am t-shirt that my Mom made on her embroidery machine.

I got a few air tools from my brother, some gift cards from my in-laws, and one more neat gift from my parents:

My parents and my brother ended up finding this old air compressor at a garage sale. They knew I have always wanted one and figured this would be a good way to get one economically. After handing the owner the $10 asking price, my Dad spent the better part of a day getting it cleaned up, rewired, and outfitted with some new fittings. It works great and is a great addition to my garage. From what I can tell, it is possibly a 1969 Montgomery Wards air compressor. I tried to find some information about it online, but didn't come up with anything (if anyone knows anything about this air compressor, or might even have a matched unit, leave a comment or e-mail me). Down the road, I am going to try and get it sanded and painted, but I have a few other projects ahead of that!

I am very thankful for all of the nice gifts from my family!
