Thread: An Autometer/Wild Canary Story

Tweet

Guys---I haven't forgotten this forum. Its just that the Wild Canary has performed flawlessly since I built it, and I've had very little to post about. I am still working from home, doing my design engineer thing, although now at almost 66 years old I don't flog it as hard as I did for the previous 45 years. My wife retired two years ago, and we both "took it easy" for about 3 weeks-----then decided that we were going terminally crazy from "Do nothing-itis", so she has been doing contract work as a human resource specialist and I went back to work doing custom machinery design for industry from my home office. I have fairly bad arthritis. Not so bad that I'm in pain all the time, but enough that I can't get up and down off the garage floor fourtry seven zillion times (as is required when building hotrods from scratch.) I purchased a lathe and a mill about 5 years ago, and have spent a lot of my hobby time building model steam and gasoline engines, and exhibiting them at steam fairs. Its nice to know that some of you fellows remember me.---Brian.

Good to see from you Brian. Also nice to hear of a manufacturer standing behind their product so well. You know, you don't have to be doing something to "The Canary" to stop in and post; as i recall, you were always fiddling around with something other than automotive, and your commentary was always interesting and informative. Your absence have been quite obvious.
