Why I like it here

Ok, I bounce around a bit. I've had a bunch of 67-72 ford pickups over the years so I pop in over there once in a while. It must be a lot of kids and first time hobbyists because the questions they ask are like "I have no spark, what do I do". I was just reading one that the OP stated his truck was running, he shut it off and now the distributor won't turn. I guess after they walked him through it the starter had took a dump.
Or I pop into the 57-60 and those guys are all trying to figure out how to slam their truck or install a Crown Vic front.
Then I get back over here and it's like ahhhh, home, the old gear heads (and a few young ones). I can practically smell the crankcase fumes.

Well I also like to take a breath, relax, move over in the slow lane, and enjoy life (even if it comes with crankcase fumes...)

I just got back from 3 days on the mainland visiting my kids in Seattle. It's great to be back home. It's also nice to be back on Orcas Island!
