They don't make 'em like they used to, huh Cheesy? I can remember working on my (really my wifes, but who's keeping track? ::I'll give you a hint, she is!! :: '65 Mustang with a 289 under the hood. I would just climb over the fender, put my feet on the exhaust headers and have a nice comfortable sit-down on the fender. From there, it was super easy to lean in and do all the work that needed doing. Nowadays you have to be a double jointed midget to get to some of this stuff. It's crazy, crazy I tell you!

New battery for the wife's Kia Soul. I hope this is not the start to another string of things breaking. It always comes in strings of threes.

Hopefully won’t be as bad as the shock were. I have the tools.

I spent 100 bucks on support socks. All those years of running and cycling I did not prevent circulation issues in my legs.

Scored a Kero-Sun Radiant 10 kero heater for five bucks. Incidentally, brought it home on the Ural.
