The sun came out and the Toy started screaming to be let loose from her dark tomb of a garage. The only way to acquiese was to get her running....

Being unable to break the clutch free, it was apparent that we had to bite the bullet and start pulling the Toy apart. It was not an easy task, since she is wedged solidly in my garage.

it's time to get the transmission out and attack the latest problem area - the clutch. Which then revealed a new problem area - the taper pin holding the fork to the shaft. Will it ever stop?

Since the parts had arrived yesterday, this was a good a time as any to put the transmission back INTO the car. Yeah, right.

amazingly enough, despite the fact that customer service said my parts would not arrive until May 5, they were waiting for Chad when he got home.

Starting out on the practice chanter & hampered by an inability to read music, somehow I managed to graduate to actual bagpipes

Accompanied by our friend Keith, Chad & I headed out to the shooting range to try out my Great-Uncle Frank's colt .45. Keith was kind enough to bring along some of his arsenal to share.

Somewhere in here was my wedding dress. I think I've made so many alterations and additions that the original is pretty much long gone.

Yes. It happened. We won. We beat the car. I could not be happier if I tried. Next battle: state inspection station.

It's been 7 years...but finally the Toy is legal again. Nice. Sadly it was raining too much to enjoy the victory. In fact I drove her home, put her in the garage and headed out geocaching.

One of the many incarnations of my red dress. This time with long false sleeves. Disclaimer: this dress had been scavenged for materials to use elsewhere - particularly the overskirt, so it is lacking a lot of the original ornaments.

My first attempt at a Civil War era corset - or so says the pattern I purchased. The pattern needed some serious alterations before it fit me properly. I made some changes here and there (I almost always do) and was fairly happy with the results. And it's comfortable, which is nice.

A very full day at the range with a buffet of rifles and pistols. Be still my heart.

It was finally sunny enough for me to take the Toy out for a spin. This particular joy ride was to Lowe's...for supplies to help tear our 2nd floor bathroom apart.
