It's finally here, our latest Spaced-out Mystery Pix.
So, all you spaced-out Mystery Pix fans, have at it.
And always remember, no cheating!
And now for the bad news.
First, let's go back, way back, to the inception of this amazing blog, all the way back to August, 2006. Back then, The Fuzz was struggling in a mechanical morass involving a malfunctioning mazda. After literally months of frustration, he thew in the grease rag, and towed the thing to the shop. And there, the repairs were made (at considerable expense).
But now, this very vehicle, is once more beginning to act in the same suspicious manner. There were the unexplained skips and misses, the same lack of power and the same sinking feeling.
A couple days ago, The Fuzz stopped at the auto parts store for a quart of 30 weight motor oil. In the next parking space, was a man pouring oil into a similar truck with a similar motor. This naturally led to a conversation regarding these delightful vehicles. When The Fuzz broached the subject, it was discovered the same repairs had been made as on this sister ship of ours. It would seem that this is a common failing of this particular arrangement of mechanical components. This other fellow had gone through the same frustrating process and arrived at the same conclusion, computer failure. The Fuzz's mechanical training is from the era of breaker points and carburetors. If this is, in fact, the situation, it is beyond our skills.
The Fuzz is not optimistic about this state of affairs. This is not a good time to have to deal with equipment failure on this scale. The weather is cold and our wood supply at the house is limited. It's not very pleasant riding a motorcycle to work this time of year, in fact, there is a call for snow tonight!
And so, that is how things stand here. We'll see how things go, or don't go as the case may be. Maybe we can get lucky yet.
But for now, enjoy our new Mystery Pix!

I am guessing it is either the top of a pepper shaker or a shower head.
watering can? sorry to hear about the truck troubles. we have a report of possible snow, too, but for now rain and ice and cold only.
stay warm!
We have snow!!! Not enough to allow me to stay home...but then there rarely is that much around here. I'm guessing shower head as well.... or colindar...
we got almost 4 inches.. power came back on a few hours ago. luck to be near the hospitals, i guess.
Levi- Close
Woodie- Closer. It is indeed part of a watering can.
You guys are fast!
