An Anniversary worth noting and celebrating.

The welcoming highway beckons to me.
This is what my drivers license has delivered.

It's been over Fifty years since I obtained my drivers license. In many ways it was perhaps the best day of my life. 

This anniversary was something that I'd overlooked. For some reason I thought that I was going to turn 66 years of age this year. I'd forgotten that actually I'd turned 66, last year! 

I hadn't really thought about all this until yesterday.

 The Next Big Thing?

I found this video featured in a comment this morning on Curbside Classics.

Vainly trying to gain traction.

             

I find myself in a familiar position, standing still when I would like to move forward. For much of this time I haven't been putting any power to the wheels, I've just kind of letting it sit where it is, and settle into the muck! I've just let things sit for the most part. It's time to try to make a little forward progress. 

 Now that the Holidays have passed it's time to get back to work.

Serpentine belt and pulleys.

My Explorer has been making a low moaning sound upon start up for quite a while now. It's intermittent and usually goes away after it warms up. It hasn't gotten any worse so it'd been pretty easy to ignore. I made an inspection of the serpentine belt and pulleys and didn't see any noticeable wear.
