Despite the title being a steal from the Alison Krauss album, this is actually a blog about books and other new favorite things.

VROOM

2 years static. The Pontiac has been in the garage for two years. It's been moved forward and backward a couple of times, but that was using the push and pull method.

Jeff wants to drive it to our new location so he spent the better part of a day installing the newly coated gas tank (with a refurbished sending unit) and getting all the fuel parts gunk-free.

One turn of the key and the engine started. Wow. The car is 52 years old, has (obviously) sat outside for many of its years, and it starts and runs beautifully. The engine is a straight eight, and to hear it idle you have to be within 3 feet of the car.
