Ah Saturdays.

This was a particularly lovely weekend Dear Friend, and I dare say I'm almost back to my normal ol' self again.

Yesterday I spent literally the whole day with my Dad working on motors.

I almost got killed on the way there by some j*ck*ss who I'm assuming was texting when he flew out of the Fry's parking lot, drove straight at me, and caused me to swerve across two lanes and onto the sidewalk. Thanks a lot. So if you drive a dark green car, and were driving like a jerk-faced moron in Mesa on Saturday, don't worry, I didn't die. Also, please pay better attention when you're driving. You almost T-boned me. Thanks.

After that near death experience, the rest of the day seemed extra awesome.

We took TONS of pictures, none of them particularly flattering, but all of them showing me and Dad having an awesome time. As of yet, I have not figured out how to get them from my phone to this website. I can get them to Facebook, so you might have to have Sierra show them to you (sorry!).

Anywho, we built a 1937 Maytag washing machine gas powered motor. Dad painted it and I put it together, though Dad did adjust the points for me. He also built the stand the night before. We put reprints of the original decals on it, filled it up with fuel and got it running. It's soooooo awesome.

Dad also got me an ice cream maker. It's a little 2 quart one, (which is a really uncommon size) from 1922. It's my new favorite thing. I'll try and post some pictures of it here for you soon. I'll also post pictures the first time I make ice cream in it. I can't wait!
