We had a long & enjoyable winter and then it rained all spring, so I got annoyed and decided to move Bernie into the garage at the end of May so we could work late under the lights.
We battled the starter again, and this time we just bought a replacement, and my daughter found a guy who was willing to help get it installed. It was a nice gesture, but he crimped down the starter onto the wiring, so we had to replace part of the wires to the starter. Kind of a scary omen of things to come I fear...
With the starter alive, we jumped into replacing the wiring as it's been 6 months since we stripped out the wires. My daughter, Goose, learned how to solder wires and we both learned not to fear wiring as bad as I have for years.
My youngest, BAP, came out to help with her little nimble fingers to screw in the Neutral Safety Switch, which we took out & cleaned up.
Finally, it was time to teach her to pack bearings on Bernie.
