Things that make me happy.

  • A Slow Ride In A Fast Car
    Nothing can compare to a good ride.
  • A really good cup of tea
    A good cup of tea should be made using cool water brought to the boil and then poured over tea in a tea pot. Add milk and sugar to the bottom of the cup, then pour tea. Then dunk cookie.
  • Driving Dougal

Dougal The Wonder Dart

I finally have my wonderful Wonder Dart DOUGAL home again.  But he needs a little work.

The master cylinder has been fixed.  Stopping is good.  But now I need to replace or rebuild the carburetor, give him a tune up, see what's going on with the exhaust and the rear end.  He's very drivable;  just not in his prime running shape.  It's ok.  Dr. G-Man and friends will help out.  He'll be good as new in no time.  Once the mechanics are in good working order I plan on doing the body work and giving him a fresh coat of paint early in 2009.  He'll be sparkling in no time.

Dougal! My Baby! My Love!

My poor 64 Dodge Dart is having some stalling out issues and must stay in Echo Park just a little longer.  Hopefully G Man will help me fix him this weekend.
