As... Found.


Ready to Roll.
; )

Pulled Sally inside John's Shop... this afternoon.
{Strange being there... when the Boy's aren't.
Too... quiet. }

Aired up Sally's tires.
One... was very low.
Had about 20 pounds of air in it.
Supposed to have 44.
They were all low.
Sitting all Winter long... does that.
 Topped off all of her fluids, put her Boot Cover on.
I've never had her Boot Cover on.
; )
When I bought her, a dozen years ago... or so, maybe longer.... Time Flies, : )
from Pal, Don...
he gave me her Boot Cover, but... I never bothered to use it.
Sally looks Pretty Spiffy, with it on.
; )

Got all of the windows working, but... the passenger's door window.
Checked all of the fuses, pretty sure the issue, is in the master switch.
It's not getting a clean connection.
Probably... a little corroded.
'Sitting'... is not good for anything, or...anyone.
I'll have the Boys take it apart, when they have time.
For now...
I'm Good, with having both Door windows Up.
It's still cool enough outside, I'd have them up... anyway.
; )

Gave Sally... a little hand buffing, after all of the important stuff... was done.
: )

She's a Sweetie.
She sits out... year round.
She's held up... Pretty Good, for being 22 year's old.
<3
{I don't think Don's Daughter... ever kept Sally... inside, either.}
Sally's top... needs to be replaced, pretty soon.
Might get one more year out of it.
; )

As I was buffing Sally, this afternoon... thought to myself... 
Sally's 'Plate' should read...
"AS FND"
'As... Found'.
; )
<3 <3 <3 
Antiquer's...
 Understand... 
that 'meaning'.
; )

It's the willingness, to Accept Flaws, 'Imperfections'.
Understanding, so Few... Examples... have Originally Survived,
 and... One, should accept Them...
'As Found'.
; )

{Chips, Cracks... Flaws, aren't easily 'accepted', 
in The Antique World. }
; )
Well... the way I see it...
always... have,
 we can't 'all' be 
'Perfect'.
: )

I've always... kinda....
Appreciated
 'The Battle Scars'.
: )
On People, 
Critters...
 and....
 Old Fords.
 ; )

{They've All Lived Quite a 'Journey'...
 while 'Collecting' Those... 'Battle Scars'.}
Priceless. 
<3

Lookin' Forward... to puttin' Sally, in Drive...
in the morning.
; )
Yeah...
Boy.
; )


Love to Ya...
Prayers, for All.

Barb C.

{ Me, and Sally... will be Pullin' In, 'Somewhere'... on our Travels...
to watch
 'The Derby'.
<3 <3 <3 
We Wouldn't Miss THAT... for The World. ; ) }
