I got the engine out of the car without too much trouble. It takes a while to get all the parts off the engine before I can actually get the engine out of the car. In total it took about 2.5 hours (maybe 3). I had a bit of time between start a finish due…
Ask Me a Question (or More)

Christmas and Easter “Christians”

Favorite Christmas Songs

Love of Vinyl
I like listening to records. I know that may sound weird to some of you, because I am also a big fan of technology, and records may seem like the opposite of technology. But I love it. I can remember listening to records once in a while when I was a kid at my parents…
