Camper is still covered and winterized. Battery is still out and awaiting a trickle charge. Between soccer, track, and heavy spring load of work. . . . Maybe in late June. Until then, we had a family gathering 10-15 minutes down the road today. Loaded up the family in our family sedan, the 62 Nova and let it breath. This evening the wife and I took the motorcycle out for a short loop of 30 miles. Nice little country round trip for our first ride of the season. Not very long but it felt good to get out and ride. Whether camping, hiking, fishing, taking the old car out, or whatever, we try to make memories with the kids. The Nova ride will be memorable for them. Some intermittent issue going on there as well. It didn't want to start when we left my aunt and uncle's house. My parents, and aunts and uncles came out to see the Nova as we left. They wanted to hear it and watch it take off since they grew up with similar vehicles as their family sedans. When it wouldn't start, Erin just cringed. She was like "Now what?" I looked at her and said "Don't worry. We will figure it out." Then I hollered at the boys in the back seat and said "Jump out. We need a push." My sister's middle boy is around 13 as well and I told him he could help if he wanted. The three boys gave us a push, I dumped the clutch, and she came to life. Tell me the kids won't remember that and laugh about it when they have their own kids? My uncles were talking about their wagon and trip out west when they were kids while looking at the Nova. They are in their 60s/70s. They still remember it. I'm certain our kids will remember these little moments. At least some of them. Keep up the good work Dave. The kids will remember it.
