I looked at my blog and thought to myself its been a long time since my last post. Initially, I was writing this blog to share a few of my automotive adventures and have a few laughs. Since my last post I've moved three times, had a house burn down at the ranch and even had a little surgery along the way.
A few of the things people had mentioned to me about moving that gave ma a bit of a chuckle. My car was a topic as well as my boat. People asked me why I would I want to drag them from place to place? In my own mind I was glad that I wasn't dating the one woman that posed questions like this to me simply because I would have laughed and suggested that she move on. So as I sit here in front of this screen and recovering from surgery I think about how it never bothered me to have to clean out my garage or to haul a Camaro, Firebird, an S-10 project, my boat, dirt bike and all my tools and parts around. I'm a gearhead so moving and hauling those things around are part of the deal. It may cost me money and time but, I bought the car because I wanted it, I bought the boat because I like my time on the water, I bought my dirt bike because I love to grip it and rip it. The Firebird was given to my daughter by her grandfather and the S-10 project was paid for by my daughter because she wanted to build a truck. which by the way has been completed and sold.
get my drift? And if you're moving in with someone that doesn't have a garage to park your project in or space to work on it then you're in for a rough go. Take it from me, one of my moves was to a small town in Alberta and while I could park my car in the garage,I wasn't "allowed" to work on it there. A small leak developed from a tranny cooler line and I never heard the end of it. We broke up because I found a garage to rent for a shop. Nice eh? Needless to say, hot rodding is in the blood, same as jumping on your dirt bike...well you know where this is going.
Until next time.

Asking for Trouble.
So asking a gearhead why he hauls things around that he still wants at the time or telling him that he is wasting his time and money doing just that isn't good for you,it's just asking for trouble. He's going to haul them around anyways regardless of what anyone says. You would be far better off supporting said gearhead as they would be more willing to support you when it comes time for the things he or she thinks are a waste of time. I my mind its hard to justify a decorative soap bar holder because I'd look like a retard trying to shove it in my gas tank.get my drift?
