My goal is still visually stock but have some gentle upgrades, like better brakes, better suspension bushings, etc. For example, it now has EBC rotors and pads, plus braided steel brake lines. Goal is to have it be reliable and fun for touring, rallies, occasional track days, etc.

Yup. It has new(ish) seals. Before I moved I took it to a local Corvette shop and threw a bunch of money at them to fix a laundry list of stuff, including that. Still some mechanical things to sort out but for now I'm going to mostly focus on interior and door stuff.

A small victory. After sitting for a year he started on the first crank. Maybe a cocktail this evening to celebrate. (I also ordered a ton of restoration parts today. Look at me go.)

I am excited to see what they're cooking up, but BMW has had some very large gaps between concepts and production in recent years, so I'm not letting myself get too worked up yet.

It took an entire year to sort after the movers completely filled my garage with boxes, but it's finally done. Now, my big objective for the day is moving the C4 into the space. Fingers crossed that my boy starts.

Dude is noticeably vaguely about exactly who he wants killed and why, which is his way of having deniability ("I was just speaking metaphorically") if somebody actually takes his sermon seriously and does it.

Itβs still patriotic to love your country the way adults love each other, recognizing faults but also potential, accepting and giving help as circumstances require, so that over time we may become better versions of ourselves.

No doubt there are some fine, well-meaning journalists at The NY Times, but the people in charge are perfectly happy to strip mine democracy for profit. Iβm old enough to remember the mass media spinning up support for the Middle East wars and itβs the same damn thing.

Many people in the news business want trump to be president, even knowing it would be terrible for the country, for the same reason they want wars to start: Theyβre in the news business and need raw material to process and sell. Quietly competent administrations donβt provide that.
