hey Brian i know how you feel. sort of burned out on working on my car too. we lost power here a couple weeks back from a snow/ice storm for 18 hours. It was miserable here for awhile. i vowed to never let that happen again. i am looking into converting my garage and house to run off of solar and wind power or to at least use it as a backup. really interesting stuff. On the other hand my son finally got his 350 to build. Began tearing it down and cleaning it up for the new parts when we can afford them.
