I had a'54 356/1500 Reutter Cabriolet in the studio this morning.

I'm liking it.

That's good to know. I see old Winnebagos from time to time, up for sale; more often than not they have the 318 and I've wondered what those were like as far as reliability, etc.

Nah, Wendover is nearby.

And once they see the business from Burning Man, it'll become known as "Bendover".

Got myself an idea out here. I have a very large ice chest on the boat that generates a lot of melted water. It's clean water. Well it turns out the drain plug has standard garden hose threads on it. I have a 120-volt electric water pump and hoses that I use to transfer fresh water to the camper fr...

We'd use it on weekends to haul off the yard waste generated from picking up sticks and rose bush trimmings. On that point, I've long thought it would be kinda fun - and funny - to chop one of those wagons down into a mini-Ranchero. I still don't know which one of the Johnson twins I went out with ...

AUUUUGH!!!! MAKE THE MEMORIES STOP!!

Can't remember if ours was brown or green (leaning towards green), but it had those nifty faux-wood panels on the side.

Yeah. In college, one of my friends - who passed away last Friday, sadly enough (third college friend in two years, two this year alone, all in July/August) - had one of those (yellow, of course; did they make any other color of it?), and I noticed he was always having it tinkered on. I also always ...

The last engine I built (1975 triumph TR7) took almost a month because I had to keep ordering parts from Britain.

Only the Britons would have the audacity to call that a Triumph.

I've been in San Diego - for the first time ever - this past week. Leaving tomorrow evening.

I got laid off this morning. Only been there two months. Awesome job. People running it bit off more than they could chew.

Yes... by us amateurs; They hate competition.

Tim Akers & The Smoking Section, and their cover of that damned "Uptown Funk".


Except, their version makes the original sound like total shit. It's too bad that the clowns that wrote the original had to produce it and release it so that someone else could come in and do it right.
