was the last episode of LOST which interests me about as much as a trip to the dentist, so, out came Ms Triss and away we went. Drove first to a Cruise Night (which I never did find) and then by friends who weren't home, all of which was fine, the weather was beautiful, the sunset gorgeous and I drove all the way home along Lake Ontario. The road isn't always next to the lake but, lovely towns (Oakville etc) lovely neighbourhoods, everyone out getting ice cream, and, it's Victoria Day (long) weekend, so, fireworks going off on almost every block. All in all, just shy of 100 miles. More to the point, she ran flawlessly. In fact, I was about 2/3 of the way done and realized I was no longer listening for every change in engine noise, nor wondering if every smell came from the engine. I realized at that moment that I had moved from restoring a car to driving and maintaining a restored car. Of course the jobs will never end, but, I don't think I have ever had as much fun driving the car as I did tonight, weather perfect, music on radio perfect, running perfect - all in all priceless!
