    UPDATE 2/22/17: I’m still trying to find a good time to get with the seller. We’ve traded text messages several times, but the stars aren’t aligning lately. I did ask specifically about rust, and said it is “minimal.” For me, any rust is a worry, so it would need to be nipped in the bud…

    My new career as a teacher means my schedule is at the mercy of the district and the local weatherman. Since they decided that an inch of snow this morning was enough to bring the city to a halt, I don’t get to work today. What to do?

    Happy Hoon Year, my friends. It’s 2016, and we’re all full of hope. Some of us are just wrapping up the Christmas season (12 days of Christmas and all), while others have long since put away the decorations and are cleaning up after their New Year’s parties. As for me, I’m enjoying a quiet evening in the…
