Mystery Cat

We have adopted a new cat. At least I think we have. I've only seen it briefly.

I will post a photo of it the first time I have an opportunity to take picture of it.

The cat's name is Munchie (as in Munchkin), and is a white Persian whose previous family had to give her up after they had a child. The cat is quite timid and had been hiding in the basement for the last week. We have never been able to turn down a pet in need of a home so we now have another member of the family.

Grandpa & The Old Truck

I went up to see Grandpa and work on the old truck with him last weekend.

He thinks I came to work on the truck but he is the real reason I am here.

From 1940 Plymoth Truck

Grandpa is still doing mostly OK. He wouldn't admit it if he wasn't. He got pretty tired after we spent the afternoon fiddling around with the truck but his spirit is good. He says that sometimes he forgets that he is sick.

We pulled the spark plugs, sprayed some WD40 in the cylinders and to our wonder and amazement the motor turns over! We are not going to try to start it until after we get the gas tank cleaned and coated. I pulled the brake master cylinder and need to rebuild it before I head back up again.
