I took apart the creaky/leaking kitchen faucet. Removed cartridge and ball valve, cleaned, dried, lubed it up well with silicone grease, and it works good again.

Picked nine quarts of raspberries. Some frozen. Some for jam.
Was relieved to see swarms of honey bees again.

My son has 4H animals at our county fair to take care of and a varsity football game Friday night, with a JV game on Saturday morning. We also had our 30th high school class reunion last night (graduated together same class), and today there are tractor and truck pulls at the fair.

Dad and I went to the Simone Automotive museum in Philo. Wow! What a collection. Also had a good amount of Nortons

1950 truck

Very off topic on a Porsche forum, but here are the requested pics of the truck I finished yesterday, including "before" shots. A fun project that will now be passed on to another to finance the P-car obsessions!

Before- November 2012:

Thanks. It was a really fun project.

I can wrench on an old truck - but not a Porsche!
