    I need your input.

    I have Agnes and plan to get her running and driving in honor of Pierre. My goal is to get her running in time for the car show we are having in Pierre's name in June. As you know Pierre and I put a lot of time into this car. This car is full of memories and to be honest pushing it into the...

    Yardin' score!!!

    Jass, Wayne and myself went to our favorite yard today. It was good. Good indeed. I can't believe what I found today. But I'm sitting here looking at it so I guess I have to. The first thing I found just completely blows my mind. I was laughing at the bad home grown wood dash (yes wood)...

    I have been logging my fuel milage on every fill up on the Dart. Each repair had slightly improved the fuel economy on my daily commute with the best improvement from the wheel alignment. I knew it was toed in but 5/8"???? 😀 The 2nd biggest improvement was after the valve lash adjustment...

    Much better!

    Jass planted the seed for this right after I bought the ol' girl. He said "If you paint the wheels body color I will give you a set of hub caps." I responded with " Damn it!" 😀 Then he found a set of small bolt 14 x5 1/2 wheels on Craigs list for the grand total of $50.00 and the guy...

    What lies beneath

    The vinyl top on my charger has had bubbles under it at the left rear quarter seam and under the back glass for as long as I have had it. It has been torn on the left rear under the back window for just as long. I purchased a new top about five years ago. I finally decided to jump in and replace...

    Garage work

    My new place has a 30x40 pole barn with a dirt floor and a 30x32 garage with a concrete slab but no insulation and basically no power. Pretty much just a few lights and a garage door opener.

    Was I living in a can of "Great Stuff"?

    I recently moved from the small 1100sq. ft. House on an acre and a half to a 3200+ sq. ft. Home on 32 acres. The new place has a 30x32 garage and a 30x40 pole barn. Its stunning how much shit one collects when you have 20 years to collect it. How the hell did the stuff in the old house...

    Fun with Mom

    Well, not so much. My Moms garage door opener shit the bed last week so we picked up another one for her. I spent a good part of the day installing it today. The track and motor assembly went well for the most part. I assembled the track taking care to follow the instructions to the "t" only...

We refer to the spring meet as the swamp meet because it almost always rains and makes...
