New Shipment/ New Baby!

   Sorry to be gone for so long... The last week plus has been a bit crazy.   After a couple of weeks' delay,   my new container full of diesel engines and vintage Land Rovers finally arrived to much joy shared by the New Mosieurs.      I was working briskly with the forklift and camera,  getting pallets and crates unloaded when my Precious Wife told me she had to go in for a routine exam...    A little while later I got a message from her telling me she had to have her blood pressure checked again as it was high and I thought I would use that as an excuse to drive one of my just-unloaded classics to the hospital with no license plates.     Well, that was about 8 days ago,  and I am still in the hospital.

     Without boring anyone too much with details,  Baby Mosieur had to be born ASAP, so labor was attempted to be induced,   then by C-section she was born @ 3lbs, 13oz and 6 weeks early just before midnight on the first of May.   So tiny!     All of this has been stressful and not a 'normal' birth,   but after the initial shock and excitement,  we are settling in to the idea that she is premature but with an EXCELLENT prognosis, in fact, she is doing great. 

   It looks like we (wife and I) will get to finally leave hospital today, but Baby M.   will have to stay in the NNICU for 'about a month' -   Which is scary and depressing,   but she is in great hands and where she needs to be.  

   Needless to say,  business and projects came to a screeching halt,  and I am hoping to be back in the shop this week for a few hours a day to triage the problems/projects/work and come up with a plan.   At least the container arrived,   so I will likely be listing many things for sale soon.    The new Defender is already sold (pending deposit) and I am loving my new diesel *4 DOOR* Range Rover thus far.  

      This has been my first time up for air in many days, and I thought I would throw an announcement out there to those of you who may be following.     Back in business soon!    VERY EXCITED To get Baby M.  home ASAP...  May will be great!
