Feeling Blue
a rainy day and I’m sitting here watching thin man with Myrna Loy.
Husband is struggling and I can’t fix it. Wish my mom was alive to have one last cup of tea with.

61 Pontiac Tempest Project
I have put this one off long enough.
I am the owner of a 1961 Pontiac Tempest 4-door sedan.
It has not run since the 70s when it was parked at my grandmother’s house in west texas.

It has a trophy 4 engine (half a V-8) and is 195ci
A 112 inch wheelbase.
