He finishes off each bottle.

Corona was summer leftovers. We had to hit it since we seem to keep running out of other beer for some odd reason.

Storage is a wonderful thing. Nice job.

On the coast, prevailing wind direction is very easy to predict. It'* consistently from the W or NW in the winter. This shed is completely sheltered from that by the fence.

Besides, it'* just for the mower, yard chemicals, and slicks.

Cherokee now has new tires, fresh oil and filter, and new rear end oil. We just finished doing the touch-up paint on the rear diff cover. It had a couple small scratches.



AHHHHH! My eyes! The burn!

Intercooler is on the way. Labor by ZillaMotorsports. And this one is surprisingly quick considering fouled plugs.

No, I just drove it, and scheduled the work to be done. It'* owned by the guy that used to own Class A Audio in Albany, and now owns Audiofiles in Corvallis.

He'* a good friend of mine.
