For the first time in quite a while, I'm excited to work on my car this weekend.
A local is helping me swap the plugs and flush the auto tranny. I could have waited but no time in between school and work in the near future. |

i've learned that i love the concept of working on cars. but the reality isn't as much fun. like last night, i spent 5 hours attempting to replace a single leaf spring shackle. i used every set of tools i had. but now i'm proud that i succeeded.

You have to make peace with buying tools on a regular basis. Then it's not so bad.

it's not the tools that bother me- i have a tool addiction. it's the time suck and the actual work that tends to get to me.

I was doing about that just as I crossed the bridge this afternoon. Didn't get pulled over, though.

I did it most of the way to work this morning and about half the traffic (mostly pickups) passed me anyway. The speed limit was 60.

It helps to have a backup vehicle so there's never a crisis.

It opens up just at the North side of the bridge because half the people peel off to hwy 14. If I get lucky with my rhythm, I can slingshot around the slowpokes in the left two lanes just as the hole forms in the right.
