Indeed, an awesome shop in the making.

Larry, you and the Baja have a great history. How long have you had it?

It amazing that this actually worked but....
This is a somewhat long story so I will make it as short as possible.
This is the old house that I am still finishing up the kitchen.
My neighbor sent me a certified letter from his insurance company putting me "on notice" about 5 trees in my backyard that he claims are a danger to his home.
So I call him to ask about the whole thing and to explain to him that the trees are on his own property and not mine and he screams about getting a survey and forcing me to cut these trees and hangs up on me.
I have to admit that in the last 20 years I lived there I put up a new building and got it too close to the line. So before anything else is said I moved the building.
A little pressure washing and some lattice or skirting and it will look just fine.
We were able to put two pneumatic tires on each side and a tongue and pull it like a 2 wheeled wagon. I can't believe it actually worked but it did.
I also found the property pins and marked off the lines.
I knew where the lines were and where to find the pins 10 years before he ever moved in.









I'll make you a real deal on it!!

I've had the Baja for 5 years in July, a week longer than I've had the Mustang.

And speaking of the Mustang, it got a new battery today. Yesterday when I started it to go to work it cranked really slow, and when it finally started the gauges didn't swing all the way to the right and back to the left like they usually do, instead they pegged and bounced left before going to position. When I put it in drive after backing out of the driveway it SLAMMED into gear, and then wouldn't shift up or down. It felt like it was stuck in third. Anyway, back to the house I went, shut it off for a count of 5 then started it back up and everything was normal. This morning when I started it to leave work, same thing with the gauges so I just let it idle for a few minutes, then shut it off and restarted it again and everything was normal.

The battery was the original, so it's six years old (the car was made on the first of April 2010), so that's about the normal life span of a battery.

Wow, free lift too! I think it's too late though...

And is this considered a mobile home in the South?
