It turns out that my paint shop was not too impressed with the body
work that had previously been done and they've had my van much longer
than anticipated. The good thing is that this guy recognizes that bad
body work is much more noticeable when you paint the van a darker
color, so he's been taking the time to fix it right. In his words, "If
I had painted it blue as it was, it would look so wavy that people
would probably try to surf on your van!"

I found out today that he's got what he calls a very pretty blue paint
in the shop and that the van's going to be painted this week!!!! I
want pics, I says...

So, it looks like I'm going to get a really nice Christmas present soon . . .

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait . . .
