That washer bottle screw does stick out like a sore thumb.
Next project.

The battery is nice, weighs about half as much as a wet type, Teepo should be much faster.
If Sandy would just get the 500 pounds of car show accessories out of the trunk now.

Thanks guys - you all are funny! I like that "factory rust" on the screw, lol!! I haven't messed with it, so it could be. I knew Jamesbo would point it out! The battery does look real nice. It was expensive, but she's worth it!

Blue.... are you heading to a show today?? It's pretty ugly over this way, but I'm gonna chance it and go pretty soon. Weather details show clouds, then sun around 1pm then rain around 3 - 4 pm. Who knows!

No shows, I'm still tired from the one last Sunday, and still drunk from the all the beer I had last night.
I feel a headache coming on, to fend it off I may have to have the wife unit drive me over to PA this afternoon to to get a case of the hair of the dog that bit me.

Car cruise at the Sisters of Notre Dame, the nuns are cookin' up ribs and chicken on the barbecue, may head over there.
Don't go grabbing for food before they say so or they'll smack you right across the knuckles with a wooden ruler.
I used to have nightmares about penguins when I went to Catholic school.

No awards, there is a fashion boutique and craft display.
If the priests are around there's got to be beer and Glenlivet available or they'll die of thirst.

Sure dosn't look like a Walmart!

Almost the finishing touch (rusty screw!) for Teepo!

Neat install, Blue.

Need to find a battery hold down clamp for my Die-Hard!
