"Lily", our 1926/1927 Tall T couple has come home. That right. After years being stored in my pal's secret bunker -- out of sight and mind -- she's back home. Which is both good and bad. Yes, she's safe and sound. Let's mark that in the plus column. But bad because it's back top of mind, a constant reminder that if it isn't moving forward, it just taking up space and atrophying.
Therein lies the age-old cliche. So many projects, so little time. So it's time to warm this up again.
A clean spot.
The garage clean-up is complete, and yesterday, we rolled her into a garage that is cleaner than it has been in years. A thorough clean-up of Lily is commencing. WD-40, soapy waters, steel wool and soapy water is being pressed into service and soon we'll have the bits of surface rust under control and we'll be back to chasing down parts.
