Busy

Got credit card and new phone. Paid off the college, my last obstacle to going back to school in the fall. Rapidly rebuilding. Not stressed like last year.

The Resurrection and Rebirth of Geraldine - Chapter Two & a Half

Counted my pennies and ordered everything for Geraldine: Front and rear tires Oil and filter Cover Tach cable So once that stuff is in and installed, only thing left is the bodywork and paint. She may be ready for sale by end of June. About the only things I can think of that I haven't described but need to be done are replacing the tach (on hand) and making sure the charging system is working correctly.

Should make a nice little profit on the wee beastie.

E A G L E S EAGLES!!!!! (Written last night 2/8) Quite an adventure today. I got caught up in the crowd this morning on my way to the suburbs. That was exciting and fun! First few trains I tried to catch were packed to the gills, so I walked five blocks to the next open El station where everyone was getting off for the parade. I now know how a salmon must feel swimming upstream! From that point the train was almost empty. 69th Street terminal was very crowded, but since everyone was heading into the city I had no difficulty. Watched the parade and speeches on TV and spent the day with friends. Dilly dilly!
