Not much up there, BUT there IS something... and it needs a trim!!

My barber/stylist no longer has a "base of operation" so she visits her customer's homes to render her services. Today April came by for me, and I offered up the Garage for my appointment.

Not as a chance to boast or show off (though, to be honest, there WAS some of that) but as a test of viability. Once the deed was done, she claimed having no difficulties in executing her skills. So I proposed the use of "Dan's Ghia Garage" one or two days a week to "consolidate" a few appointments (saving some gas and maybe avoiding traffic jams). She loved the idea...!!

Don't just count your blessings... look for ways to pass them on!

Hair today... gone Friday!!
📅 conflict forcing me to postpone my appointment with the "keeper of my coif"... we've moved Amber's DGG visit to Friday, September 4th!

Jesus says "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me... will have the light of life." "...let your light shine before others, that they may see your deeds, and glorify your Father in heaven." (John 8:12, Matthew 5:16)

Intermittent clouds drug across the sky as I and my newly painted car were heading home. I was following the rollback, and initially enjoying how nice my machine looked with her new color scheme. But as the trip continued, I grew depressed thinking I'd wasted my hard-earned funds on a dull color. I got hit with "Buyer's Remorse"...bad! After rolling for a few miles, I noticed blue sky working its way through the clouds and then sunlight pouring down.
Like a switch had been thrown, my dull little machine suddenly popped to vibrant, sparkling life!!

Lots of folks think that being a good person or doing good things is all it takes to secure a place in heaven... they are sadly mistaken! A verse in Romans states that there's nothing good in Man that pleases God, which is why God provides the only thing that DOES: Jesus' death and resurrection, the gift salvation to anyone who will take it to heart.

Our Heavenly Father wants to see us shine... but we cannot without the power of THE SON

I can't decide... Dan's Hair Hutch, or Dan's Grooming Grotto??

We've seen a lot of things going on within these walls the past year: holiday decoration assembly, ongoing home hobby projects, wardrobe/clothing repairs... even the occasional maintenance on my goofy little car! Come September 1st, DGG will venture into a new role by lending space to a local "personal care artisan" whose talent should guarantee a hair-raising performance.

Actually, a hair-CUTTING performance would be more accurate. My friend and stylist/barber, Amber Beaver, recently wound up without an established workplace; she's been taking her show on the road, bringing her skills to her clients' doorsteps. I was due for a trim and happily offered the use of my garage for the appointment. If my "happy place" proves to be a viable workspace, I'm hoping to convince "her royal hair-ness" to possibly work out of here a day or two a week to save on gas and keep more of her earnings. Maybe I can get myself a little pocket money: SHAMPOOS for $5.00... I'll have soap, a bucket, and a garden hose standing by!!

Trust but verify!!!

Been watching the TV series, "Scorpion" on Roku, caught a glimpse of what looked like a Karmann Ghia taillight. It was too hard to pause on the spot, so I "googled" to get confirmation. The AI overview (drawing from various sources) was pretty clear: no such vehicle in the show. And I was fine with that... until I happened upon two episodes showing more than a taillight, and solid proof that the internet may NOT always be RIGHT!!

Aug 15, 2026 - A great day to gather, entertain, and compete. The residents/patients of Brookline Manor came out to find a yard full of wonderful vehicles. Was blessed to hear some wonderful stories and see such glowing smiles.

Got to take the machine out --finally!!-- for a run to check the steering. While much of the slop is gone, I still feel just a bit of play while maintaining a straight run in my lane. Ironically, it seems "just a hair" better than what I started wirh last summer! So I'm pondering what lesson the Good Lord wants me to take away from this:

🏅Don't let "perfect" keep you from "good enough"

🛣 It's not about the destination, but the journey

🛠 Wrenching on the car beats doomscrolling.....any day, hands down!!

Okay!! Got the old gal all put together, incorporating lessons learned from the first box swap.

Joined the steering column to the box with the existing flexible coupling (which is still like new, seeing I got it for the last time I was doing this), then double-checked that I properly grounded the horn circuit... BEEP-BEEP!! 🎺 After installing the gas tank, I grabbed my multimeter and conducted continuity checks so I know the fuel gauge will work. Added the gasoline i siphoned out, flipped the ignition for electricity, and watched the needle bounce. ⛽️
