I am back in the Great State of Wilkes, Wilkes county in North Carolina. Traffic is much easier here than San Jose. The battery maintainer on my car indicates that the battery is fully charged after being away for more than two weeks so I will take the car out for a drive today. I am not saying that there are not aggressive drivers here, there are, but not to the same degree as in the big cities. Happy to be home. Got a fire going in the fireplace this morning as it was in the 20's outside.

I worked on a stock 29 Fordor for a client and drove it around here for a couple days. It was OK but I really missed the safety things that my 30 has, such as turn indicators and side mirrors.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
