Matt Drayer's Journal

The weather in July was absolutely atrocious here in New England. While the coastal towns didn't experience the severe flooding happening in the Connecticut River Valley, we still received a substantial amount of rain. And even when it wasn't raining, it seemed like we were living in a greenhouse -- oppressively hot and humid. I was dripping with sweat sitting still, let alone wrenching on the car. And the mere thought of applying an additional layer of oil and grease to my soggy body kept me from heading back out to the garage to finish those last remaining projects. "What's the point anyway?", my brain would say. "Can't drive a convertible around town when it's pouring outside."

Unfortunately I listened to my brain and goofed off for the month. Now August has rolled in with absolutely gorgeous convertible-driving weather, and of course I'm kicking myself that I didn't suck it up and finish those projects so I could be enjoying the breeze right now. I'm feeling motivated, however. It really is just a few more things and we can head to the local service station for an attempt at passing the car's first safety inspection since 2016!

As long as they don't put it in reverse! Maybe I'll drive it in/out of the inspection bay...
