1 Mid April, a week past Easter, snow falls and ice continues to form outside. It is well below zero, and while I would much prefer to be attacking projects outdoors, or in the barn, I find myself instead hiding inside. Generally, by now the toy car would have scrubbed in new rubber. Instead, that rubber sits in a less used […]

The truck is on its third pan full of oil, and second serpentine […]

The optional parts almost certainly […]
