A universal type of guy.

Blogger is letting me enter so time for a short update.

Hurricane Charley missed us by 30 miles to the south. We were lucky period. Otherwise the Z shop and the greenhouses would have been history. The Big ‘O’ would require major surgery rather than just a makeover. Unfortunately, many people will be suffering for weeks to come. One of the risks we take to live in Florida.

Many think that being 60 miles inland from the coast is protection enough. Now they know better. No storm is to be taken lightly.

Other news: I took apart the 4 universal joints in 2 half shafts over the weekend. It was very exciting for a newbie mechanic and another first. Also dissembled the rear drum brakes for cleaning and new parts. Put one back together, with mosaic mom's help, and now am an 'expert' in two new areas of Z car mechanics. Cleaning the Z shop has started in ernest with 6 cars and 6 years of junk (collectables I should say) to sort. Filled the dumpster already and have another load ready to go. There are actually aisles to walk in now - an interesting concept. No room for tile storage though. To be continued......................
