After 34 years 6 months and 14 days I have retired from my current job at the age of 75 years old. I stayed because I loved the challenge of the work and the satisfaction derived from it. Time to turn the page and move on to the next thing which includes my current build on my rotisserie.

I showed my Barracuda for the third time since finishing yesterday. Our local springfest show has 138 entries. The only other early Mopar at the show. Cool lady, she has driven the leaning tower of power coast to coast. We had a good visit. An overview of the crowd. Because it was in the...

After two knee replacements last year and going through rehab for that, my lower back pain increased like a hemi tach at the strip. Turns out my L-5 vertebra was irritating the nerve bundle to my right leg. Yesterday I had corrective surgery that removed the offending bone spur and opened up the...

I have been looking for another project with the Barracuda being "finished" and all. My only criteria was that it be a manual transmission car. I found this one. It is a 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone factory 4 speed, small block with 2 4V Edelbrock carburetors and headers. All year/model specific...

Wednesday night we took a lightning strike to one of my wife's flower pots with me 5' away. I felt like I got hit with a flash-bang. (I never have) Pressure wave deafened me on the right ear. Power flickered and went out, I went to bed. Next morning I have only partial power in my house, check...

A couple photos if my next project. I will be building it over the next year or two. The build is pretty much decided. I was tempted to put a 318 in it but I want to keep it all Ford so I am building a Y-Block motor for it. The plan is to build it like someone would have done in the late...

Two hours before leaving on a Lake Chelan getaway I couldn't stand the suffering of my little "Bow Tie Buddy" Monte. Took him to the vet for diagnosis and he was unrepairable. I put him to sleep and have been brokenhearted since. Don't even want to drive the Barracuda. Anyway here is a photo of...

While replenishing my electrolyte supply at the local mini-mart I saw a beautiful 65 Dart fueling up. I had to talk to the owner so I walked over and asked him if he posted to any websites. He introduced himself, Dave Layson owner of Layson's Restorations. We had a great visit about his car and...

My life was changed forever when our boat capsized off La Push WA and my friend did not come home with me. Today I am remembering my friend and all the times our group had in the town of Forks fishing out of La Push. I am wearing the blue hat. UPDATE: Small boat capsizes, man drowns off La Push...

Today is the 48th anniversary of my 21st birthday. You-all can do the math. My family has to be nice to me today, its our rule. What sucks is I still have to go to work in the most stressful part of our company's construction season. The good thing is I have a 1967 Barracuda Coupe nearly all...

I put my Comet into storage last fall, backing it into the shop and unhooked the battery, put the cover on it, the usual. Went out at Christmas and warmed the car up. Went to re-start it and nothing, like the battery was dead or severe wiring issues. I finally got around to diagnosing it Sunday...
