Also put up a light in the workshop to add a little more illumination to the bench in the corner. Someone was throwing it away so it was snagged. It's cheap and crappy and kitsch.
I have a ceiling fan I think I'll put up in there too, that'll help distribute the air a little, the window unit has difficulty when it's warm.

And a new window unit, because the old one was not really able to keep up and also was trying to shake itself out of the window.

Lovely looking bit of kit chap. Love a 50s Yank, especially a straight 8.

Ah, the joys of vac wipers. Faster/slower..

[PhilA]

Yup. In a more powerful car you could steer with the throttle. In this one you can adjust the speed of the wipers with it.
