It’s time to get the garage ready for visitors and enjoyment, same with the motor vehicles. I’m very happy to say two of my cars are ready to go on a moment’s notice, another one is in the shop getting ready, and the last one is eagerly awaiting its turn. Yes, I’m going broke spending money I don’t have getting the cars all set to hopefully be used more. Since moving here, and for several months prior to leaving California, those two cars in particular (a 1965 Mustang and a 1979 Fiat 124 Spider) were subjected to a lengthy span of sitting. The car focus was heavy on the DeLorean while the Caprice Classic just simply did everything perfectly. Fortunately now, both the DeLorean and Caprice Classic are close to bulletproof, and soon, I’m hoping all four will be out and about and enjoying the Texas sunshine!
I’m also excited to be installing a mini split in the garage soon, something we’ll illustrate in the newsletter to inspire all of you to do the same. A lot of people ask me what a mini split is, and the bottom line is it’s an air conditioner and a heater in one unit, but, infinitely more efficient. Instead of producing warm or cool air, it moves them around to warm or cool an environment – the first time I’d heard of a mini split, it was when Fujitsu approached Garage Style about publishing an article about their products. It made sense for a garage, so absolutely – What is a Mini-Split? – FUJITSU GENERAL United States & Canada is their explanation of a mini split.
Don’t Forget
May 12 is Mother’s Day! So don’t forget to snap up something nice for the important mothers in your life, and maybe make reservations at a nice restaurant for those especially important mothers surrounding you.
Some ideas for a great Mother’s Day gift might be a hot air ballooning experience, or something techy and useful like this Kodak wireless mini color printer or maybe a cozy wrap like this Quince Mongolian Cashmere Wrap, or perhaps a well-appointed bath caddie like this one Bamboo Adjustable Organizer Tray for Bathroom with Free Soap Dish Suitable for Luxury Spa or Reading is more of her taste. Poke around online and see what’s out there and have fun, be creative. Afterall, the moms are the unsung heroes, aren’t they?
