Since we're building the new house we opted not to give each other presents.
We'll wait until we move in and see what we need...then give each other something we really really need.
But a week or less before Christmas I got something I could've done without...
I broke the wife's car. (The `47 Ford.)
Nothing too serious...run bearing has ruined the back left hub.
And flogged universal in back right axle.
Sigh.
If (repeat if) we can get the parts we'll be back on the road by New Year.Last edited by johnboy; 12-28-2009 at 12:50 PM.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
