Honest work can result in dirty hands, no embarrassment here.

If the name fits, own it. I do. This is not about the glory work. It's about the tedious dirty, messy work.

Mike and Frank are like old friends

This has been a very popular show for quite a long time, and there are a lot of reasons for this. It can connect with lot's of different people's interests on different levels.

First of all, it's all about the stuff.

Is it two weeks yet?

Back up in the air, again. Note the downward slope of the driveway,
it's not an optical illusion.

Sometimes you just have to do the work, at least that what I tell myself. 

My life on the Riviera, Part Two; A change in orientation. A major lapse of judgement.

This placard has hung on my garage wall for years. I was the first entry in that year's  ROA's  National
get together car show.  I got plenty of quizzical looks.

I drove it from the Bay Area to Klamath Falls Oregon for the get together. With my Wife and family. They did suffer a mite from the lack of a/c.

Things to do to get that old thing running. Part One.

It wouldn't fool anyone into thinking that it was a hatchback.

   "the comment came more from a contrarian disposition than moral conviction"

If one car in the garage is good, two cars are even better.

These are the two smallest cars in my fleet.

This is the third and final update on my garage situation. At least for now.
