It gets unloaded, because much of the  stuff I  carry gets used pretty 
regularly when I'm at home. The car sits in the  garage, but it's not 
empty. It gets loaded with stuff that won't fit  anywhere else in the 
garage. So now the beater '73 is in the garage,  filled with all that 
stuff. It's an 80 year old 1 car garage, so there's  not much room in 
it. The house and garage were built in 1937, so it would  be 
interesting to know what cars were parked in it in the early years.  
Not a lot of choices in those days.

Today the '71 gets its valves  adjusted, the timing and ATF checked, 
the oil changed and the front axle  lubed. Weather looks good, so 
shouldn't be any problems with  that.

I understand that you and Sue won't be making it this year. Sorry  to 
hear that. We'll miss you.
 
Thanks, we'll miss all of you too. Enjoy yourselves, and take lots of  
pictures, so those of us not attending, can "be there in spirit". : )
 
It was supposed to be a "tongue in cheek" question, as you always seem to  
have that car very loaded with stuff (at least it sure looks that way) for 
the  Invasions. We (Sue and I) were just wondering IF you kept most of that 
stuff  in there or not. I realize some stuff would get unloaded, but wasn't 
sure if  you totally unloaded it or not (especially since it still had 2 year 
old gas  in it).
 
As for what's been possibly kept in your 80 year old 1 car garage, that  
would really depend on it's length and width. Cars were a lot larger back then 
 (especially during the 30's). ;-) But it could have held anything. : )
