So, I’m feeling a little melancholy right now.  I’ve been working on the M off and on for 2 years now trying to get it back on the road.  This day was Friday.  

Last week I told my wife the big day was very soon since all of the major things were done.  As the great wife she is, on Friday she went to get a temporary permit at the DMV (it needs a smog check).   I was excited and hurried home.  Odds and ends were finished, dusted off the years of dirt, and re torqued the wheels.  I was ready for her first test drive in 7 years.  Man it was rough.  The engine buzzed; speedometer fluttered; power was down.  The temp started to go up right as I was nearing my driveway, then the engine quit.  My wife and I had to push it up the driveway into the garage.  I guess my expectations were too high.
