  • What the #!!!?

    Well,
    I finally got the wheel back on my Festy after the inspection station stripped out the spindle nut (still haggling about that). I had to find a new spindle etc. Got the other parts I needed also. My plan was to pull my SVO Mustang (Comp Prep) out of the garage and drive it a few days as the F-150 I've been driving the past two weeks is guzzling gas big time. Then I could pull the Festy in and work on it the garage. Well I haven't driven the SVO since early June, so of course the battery was dead. So it's now on the charger. No big deal. Then my wife tells me the dryer quit working!! Well with four kids a dryer is a necessity. So I spent the evening working on the dryer and the Festy will have to wait again. It's always something.....

        Yep always something. My long time girl friend ( 11 years) sister house burn down a few weeks ago, gave her some of the "mingun" funds to get here on her feet. So the festiva is not going to be finished to Christmas . Oh well could have been worse. Nobody was hurt but they lost a couple dogs in the fire.
