Last night as I was putting the Triumph away in the garage, my 5-year-old
son came to the back door. The conversation went something like this:
"Dad?"
"Yeah, Mike...."
"Since you don't work on your car anymore, can I have your tools?"
"I still work on the cars."
"Yeah, but not all the time like you used to."
"That's because the Triumph is finished."
"So can I have your tools?"

Perhaps it's time for another car...like the '67 Jensen Interceptor I saw
yesterday. Not bad, well-worn interior, but the body is not rusty. Hmmm....
