I've been retired for 5 years now and been keeping busy all that time - remodeling some rooms in our California home, working on our home in Arizona, and collecting parts for a few car projects. Last year I developed sciatica and it kept me from doing a lot for most of last year, as it got progressively worse over time. Finally bit the bullet and had surgery mid-February this year and recovery is going real well ... to the point where I'm back to working on stuff again.

Since the 'all day-long curfew' has been recommended/implemented, my wife & I have done all the spring cleaning and I'm back to working on the cars ... with a vengeance:


Replaced the ignition switch components and the turn signal switch in my '70 Ghia (it stopped running earlier this year) ... also installed a new lower dash/knee pad





Installed a wood floor in the galley of my '84 Westy ...





Got my wife's '99 Beetle (which she never drives anymore) running after sitting for a number of years ...





Detailed my '96 Tacoma 4x4 (prepping for an upcoming sale)





... and an performed an oil change on my (new-to-me) '07 Cayman




I guess I'd better slow down ... no telling how long we'll be locked up at home

Still have a '71 914 I can work on, and a '66 912 ... but both need to get to the paint shop, so that's a little ways away right now.
