Well, it finally happened.
A dead battery puts Mr. Movida parked in the drive with that sad ‘no go’ look on his grill.
But hey, no complaints though really. You see, Mr. Movida runs an Interstate when it comes to a battery and that old Interstate started and lit up Mr. Movida w/o fail for TEN YEARS!!!
Now, Mr. Movida has a brand new Interstate and that ‘no go’ look is now gone gone and he starts with a smile.
But let’s not stop there... While workin’ up the cash for the new Interstate, Driver did Mr. Movida another big favor (Driver has a real fond affection for Mr. Movida ya see). Yep, Driver thought seeing as how we were talkin’ bout startin’ up, why not give that old starter a rebuild and really give Mr. Movida a kick start. So he did. A real good cleanin’ and some new brushes (unbelievable that that starter worked man let me tell you. Speaks highly for Delco-Remy) and Mr. Movida started I swear even before Driver turned the key (a little shot of carburetor cleaner down the throttle body helped some but I suppose we can all use a shot now and then to start our day, don’t you think…).
We will be posting the write up for the starter rebuild here on the blog shortly. Stay Tuned…

Hey hey, had a great Father’s Day out at the Barn.
My son has a barn out in the toolies where he and his buddies find a home for their band (or at least the band that wants to be).
Lots of beer and burgers, family, friends and good music (well, sorta on the music. Heavy Metal…yiah.).
Hope yours was great too.
Enjoy.

It is mid June here in southern Orygun.
And, mid June is just short of early summer. And this is one of those times of the year when our fellow earthly creatures like to, well, mate. And so it was with these little yellow jackets who found harborage and decided to make home (and nursery) out of ol’ Mr. Movida as he sat in the hot sun of a southern Orygun June while Driver is taking his sweet time to rebuild Mr. Movida’s starter.
Driver is kind though and was able to help these wonderful little creations of our world to find new homage … (birds love eating these little guys…).
