This was in northern Maine. Thinking ahead is not a strong suit.
I started going on hunting trips up there with my dad when I was 13, so about
30 years ago. The first year I went there was a house where they built a
garage. That first year they put up the outside of the garage and put the roof
We did that one too. Worked well.

My Dad had a '64 Beetle that he bought new when I was ready to drive. I'd
already been driving it from the airport to home and back when we were
working on the airplane (Cessna 195) and he'd forgotten a tool or two. I

Driving a Beetle was a requirement for first time drivers in my family. I was
the exception because Dad got a deal on a 1970 Maverick two door when it was my

held to 2k miles valve adjustments, though I did them fairly regularly.
I was about 17 years old and took that engine completely apart, had the
case line bored, and rebuilt it with new rods, pistons, cylinders and
heads. I
