Hello Gear Heads, Merry Christmas!
A year ago, my wife called me from the kitchen floor. Doing what? Laying low because of a drive by shootout in front of our house in Tacoma WA. Called the police and said I had video footage of the car and the guy sitting on the passenger windowsill, shooting over the hood of his car at the car in front of them. Police said if no one calls in with an injury, it's not a crime and they don't need to see the footage. We moved...
Prepping the house to sell and moving took us into March '23 and the fixer upper we moved into has me working overtime to make this house our home. Great neighborhood in Lacey on a half-acre with Black Tale deer eating all the plants in the yard. Three to five gun shots a week in Tacoma and at least four police sirens a day. Not one gun shot or siren in the new neighborhood since we moved down here last March.
Prepping and selling the old house and remodeling this house while still punching a timecard has me burning the candle at both ends. Haven't looked up at anything but remodel, sell, buy and remodel some more since the shootout. The great news besides the new digs is 'Dolley the Dart' has been running great on nothing more than oil changes.
So that's why I fell off the face of the FABO forum a year ago. I have a ways to go before I get to look at hobbies again, but I've been thinking of all you guys and how the dream of my honey driving a '64 Dart like she drove 45 years ago would have never happened without all of you sharing your skill, knowledge and parts.
Merry Christmas to all of you from Lacey WA and I'm wishing you all the best New Year possible!
