Yeah. Lousy moving car iPhone photo.

My son had his car towed over and we worked on it together. He replaced the starter motor which had gone bad. His first major car repair, get down son!

For some reason whenever I do any downshifting I get the dreaded grinding noise. Unless I do a double clutch the grinding will occur almost every time.

Getting ready to start off another year of tinkering and restorations. My goal is to keep the cars long enough to enjoy them longer. In the past three years I’ve had 14 different cars and motorcycles. That’s a lot of repairs on issues people did not want to spend the money on repairing.

I picked up an older but new in box Sun Super Tach II for my Mustang.

I’ve been working on the man cave for some time now. I’ve always like the look of a clean functional garage that was fun to work in, have all the necessary tools and a good entertainment setup. The garage is a decent size area but I have have too many toys in it so it looks really cluttered.

I finally made arrangements to get rid of the Direct TV services and switch over to Xfinity. I used to have their service many years ago but unsubscribed when they kept increasing the monthly cost. I now have both internet and television services from the same provider.

Let’s see what we can mess with today.

EDIT: Picked up a big ass tv this morning.

I’m totally impressed with the Prius and the gas mileage it has been getting. I’m getting about 50.5 miles on a gallon of 87 octane gas. That’s very impressive and helpful since the there has been a recent gas tax increase. 

I’ve been using the ECO mode exclusively. I tried using the power mode but it’s not necessary in the flat lands I commute in daily. 

Caught the last Goodguys Carshow of the season. The swapmeet was the best of the year. Weather was great.
