I stepped on the scale the other day and it topped 360 pounds. That is a pile of weight. I'm frequently out of breath after walking any distance. My hips and knees hurt. My arms are almost too short to reach around my girth to scratch my …
Let me preface this by saying, I love my wife, but technical she isn't. When we married, she barely knew how to put gas in a car, much less how to open the hood or know why it quit. Over the last 30 years, she's picked up a few things, …

So....some on here may remember about 10-11 years ago I had a 308 GT4 that was blown up and I was doing an STI swap in the back of it. It got really to close to firing and I ended up selling it. I got married, moved from Georgia to Alaska, …

My mother was an amazing chef. Every afternoon at 4:30 she'd start prepping food, and every night at 6:00, we'd sit down to an incredible meal. Potatoes on the right, veggies to the left. Meat was front and center. The salad (never from a bag) sat off to the side, …

After several weeks of OPP(Other People's Projects), I needed a shop cleanup day.

It's been a decade, so I thought I would update my progress accumulating parts and assembling a 1966 Porsche 906. In 2014 I bought an original body from two different cars and the rear of a 910. I planned to build a chassis using factory blueprints. My three kids were …
