To All Triumphisti:
Saturdays temp hit 59F here in N Central MA and the sun was shining.
Having paid attention to the weather forecast previously, I put the
battery charger on Basils new DieHard Fri evening in anticipation.
After running the usual Sat AM errands, I pushed my long-dormant TR
out of the garage and into the Feb sunshine. Operated the priming
lever on the fuel pump until I saw gas fill up the fuel filter then
turned the key. It started instantly, with less than two revs of the
crank. What a great feeling after snow, cold, ice, sleet, etc since
our last outing in Nov. Went for a quick blast around what passes for
a city block out here in the country and back home to look for leaks.
There were no leaks, but the box of Kleenex left in the back seat was
totally shredded and scattered about the floor. Seems Mickey and
possibley Minnie Mouse spent their winter in a Kimberley Clark condo.
At least they did not eat any upholstery / rugs / wires. Spring is
just around the corner!
Cheers,
