Salvaging a manual seat track for my '06 Mustang.

The seat was beat, but the track is gold,

As well as a "work around" for a non functioning power seat.

These manual seat tracks are quite rare.

Now, I've got two squirreled away! 

 My experience with fuel mileage.

I've made the trip to Depoe Bay in the Flex twice.

This has been an area that I hadn't paid that much attention too. Primarily because it hasn't been an important consideration. For many years I rode a motorcycle for half of my commuting and errand running needs, and I only had a 20 mile round trip commute for over 30 years. Fuel economy really didn't concern me. Though I had many younger co-workers that had commutes of fifty to 75 miles, one way! 

 So when should you quit working on cars?

More hands on work. Should I quit doing this stuff?

Or maybe, "when should you at least, reduce the workload? "

Kind of a tough question.

 I posted several years ago that my Daughter had moved far away from home.

Left front tire. This is the worst one. But it's not down to the cord... yet. 

That meant that her car was also a long way from home.

She now lives much closer, and visits us more often.

This is what happens when you don't keep an eye on the condition of the tires. They do have to be rotated on a set schedule. 

 I started to work on the Riviera's driver's window.

The door pull is the sturdiest mounting part of the door panel.

Ventilation is pretty good with both windows down. Just like in the Old Days. Two at 65!

I was surprised when the window quit working during my Mendocino trip. It was cold that day near the coast, and the heater isn't working correctly at the moment.

This is a Blower Bentley replica.
It's the only one that I've ever seen.

 "Would you like to see something from our more affordably priced line?"   

 Maybe you can't go home again,

Mendocino waits for my return.

But you can pass by the old neighborhood, drive through it, and reminisce.

This post is not the usual blah, blah, blah!
