I could easily spend the best part of a day at an event like this! There's something special about the mix of
mechanical art and the personal stories behind each build. You can go from admiring a pristine vintage restoration to geeking out over a custom engine swap, all within the same show...

When I got off work today I took this little Schrade 18OT apart, eliminated the liner lock, converted it from a swinden key to conventional through pin construction, and replaced the delrin with stag.




I have a hammer addiction,  and a 1/4 ratchet addiction, and a pry bar addiction,  and a screwdriver addiction, and well I just have an addiction to hand tools in general.

Changed the oil in the daily beater. Had a vibration in the front for awhile now. So check the front end out.

LF tire was to the cords on the inside and bubble up in spots. So I swapped on my extra set which is also in poor shape but will work till I can get new ones.

I don't check on my daily as I should because it's just me that drives. So I'm not terrible worried unless it's something serious like it doesn't have brakes or something like that. Just check the oil.... When I remember.

I go over the van and pickup with fine tooth combs because the wife and kids ride in them.

I'm not a fan of this GM thing so I'm just running it into the ground but I take care enough that it's safe enough to pass inspection and not a danger to me or anyone else in the road
