Hey, I'm back.

The Skunk has pretty much been sitting under tarps for the better part of the last two years. But we just bought a house in Gig Harbor and I have my own garage, with a shop. This is a huge thing, BTW, for a II owner who has always lived in a condo and has had to depend on the weather cooperating to do any kind of work on his car.

Actually, the last place we lived passed an ordinance stating that you were not allowed to work on your car on the property. Seriously. So she went under wraps the last time she got squirrely.

So I've got a whole ton of parts I've collected, and as soon as we get moved in, I'll start on Mod #3.

I'll do my best to get back on these boards and start being a better neighbor to everyone. Good to see some familiar faces.

If you're anything like me, all that extra time you used to have will be sucked up by lawn mowing and home improvement projects. I'm just starting to work on my II again and I've owned my home for eight years!

C'mon guys, lets not bum him out .... just yet.

We should let Joey have some fantasy time before finding out about 'spare time' and owing a home.
