Onto a New Life

After 25 years of procrastination (and several months of garage-cleaning to make room), it was time to pull the trigger and call a towing service. It was all going so smoothly until the tow truck became stuck in my mother-in-law's backyard mud.



Special thanks to my brother-in-law David and Robert the next-door neighbor who took the better part of their Saturday afternoon to help dig out the truck.

And I can't thank my mother-in-law enough for her patience over the years wondering when the $*!# that stupid heap o' rust would be out of there, but finally it's gone from her backyard garage and into mine.



From the photo above, you can just feel the car saying, "What's going on? Everything was just fine back with the squirrels and raccoons. Where are we going? Goodbye Waukegan."
