There are times when life is just grand, ain't there? <g>
Possibly the high point of my entire year so far was when I tried starting
my Bugeye after a 9-year storage. I rebuilt the carbs and replaced the gas,
and it started after about one second of cranking! I must have looked like
an grinning idiot for the entire rest of the evening.
