Dreaming of warmer times
I’m dreaming of all the cool stuff I want to do to my Roadmaster as soon as the weather warms up.
The Mystery remains
The Roadmaster is running fine and there have been no re-occurrences of the weird issue that prevented it from starting over the weekend.
Mystery failure
My Roadmaster is a little sick. I had it hauled off to the doctor today.
Odds and Sods
I haven’t been outside to work on the Roadmaster much over the last little while.
Not so smooth.
Well the Roadmaster started acting a little funny this morning. When I got to my parking spot and shifted into reverse to back in the wagon hesitated before backing up.

The Roadie’s good to go!
It was a little bit expensive, but overall it cost a little less than I was prepared for. All of the repairs are done and the car is legal to drive on the roads. Now…to deal with the court system.
