I am retiring or at least semi retiring at the end of the year.  I have
never liked the fit of the trunk lid on my TR250, deep into the restoration
I realized it was kind bent/warped, but had a lot going on then, so
soldiered on ahead with it, I have what I believe is a much better one I
will work with.

I have more insulation to do on one side of the garage, I need to do the
timing belt on my Porsche 924S, which, contrary to popular opinion, is much
more needy in the maintenance department than my sturdy Triumph.
