"In the Shadows" by Amy Stroup

Put a straw on the shaft to guide it into the arm

Wiper  motor installed

I got the new wiper motor installed in CeCe today.  Heard this song in an episode of Lucifer today.

"The Rain, The Park & Other Things" by The Cowsills

Wire tied a stick to the wipers to keep them from moving

Three 1/2 inch extensions and universal joint to get to the nut

The old wiper motor

Old motor removed

The old and new wiper motors

Finally putting the new windshield wiper motor into CeCe.  Unfortunately I can't say it was a huge success, the low speed doesn't work, it only runs in high and the wipers don't park.  They stop wherever you turn them off.

"Cold Blood" by Valen

I love the George Floyd sticker on CeCe

A couple of years ago I did an interview with a man named Ian Brown that was doing this "American Dreams" project.  He took some pictures of me as well.  I guess he has published the book and I'm in it.  I've ordered a copy from the Kings English bookstore.

The American Dreams book is published and I'm in it :)

I wrote back and had to add how I feel today:

I was thinking yesterday, after seeing the news, it's kind of ironic at this point I feel like I'm living an American Nightmare.  Ever since Trump took office I've felt humiliated by what a complete horror he is.  I've talked with people I know in other countries and feel like we are a laughing stock and it's just gotten worse and worse.  I have to say the "Elect a Clown, Expect a Circus" bumper stickers are spot on.  I feel embarrassed and ashamed of all the stuff that is happening in this country and it just keeps getting worse.  We just had a rally here last night for a 13 year old autistic child the police shot in the back 11 times because he wigged out when they stopped him.  I mean WTF man?!!?  And then Notorious RBG passed away at this worst moment possible.  I just can't even fathom those hypocrites in the Senate, that they can totally do an about face like that. It's an absolute disgrace!!!  And it's hard to even wrap my head around Trump's base / followers, they are in some alternate reality.

Another song I heard on Lucifer...

"Come a Little Bit Closer" by Jay & the Americans

I went down in the crawl space to look at the plumbing

I don't think putting my new manifold in will be too bad

I've been watching Gilmore Girls and when Lorelai and Chris were driving home they settled on this song on the car radio.

"See You Later Alligator" by Bill Haley & His Comets

Too funny I just started this post yesterday and now I can't remember what made me think of this song.  Was it on a cassette tape?

"Put a Light in the Window" by The Four Lads

I was watching "The Gilmore Girls" tonight and something somebody said reminded me of this song.  This was one of my favorite songs from my early childhood.  I remember my mom playing their Greatest Hits album downstairs at the house on 7th Street in Ogden.
