I finally finished moving.

Ten minutes ago, I emptied the last carload from the old place, went back outside and checked, and then popped the cork on a bottle of white Champagne...

The cork went up higher than the house, and came back down right next to me.

If I were to take that as an omen, I would guess I am exactly where I need to be....

CHEERS!!!

I finally finished moving.

Well, I made a start on getting the garage up to speed. Ripped out a fallen-down work bench so I could rebuild it right.

And I got a heap of old junk out of the place, including a shopping cart that was in the back of it.

I'm tempted to remove the basket on it and make a mechanics seat out of it. The rack on the bottom would be great for tools and parts.

But I can still read the name of the store on it, so I think I'll call them up and tell them to come get it. Stores pay a lot of money for those things, and stealing is just plain wrong, man.
I'll take a look at it tomorrow, but I don't think it's messed up so they probably need it back.

I also pulled the old engine out of the bed of the truck, and put it in the back of the shop. I took a trip to the local parts house and got some new toys also - a tubing bender, a power steering pump pully extractor, and a leveler for my cherry-picker.

Now I won't have to muscle the new motor, even with the headers on it!

LIFE IS GOOD
