December 18, 2004 Update
There has been a big gap between updates.  In September, 2003, we moved from Omaha to Persia, Iowa.  Actually, Persia, pop 212, is about 5 miles away. No cable, no dsl, etc. BUT there is room for the dogs and, as you can see below, a workshop.  (UPDATE!!  We now have DSL!!)

The shop was not on the property when we bought the house.  I contracted for it in March and it was built during the summer.  By mid-September I was ready to bring the Volvo out of storage.

The shop is 30 x 40.  The pick up is a 90 Ford F150 that I bought at auction for $350.  It had bad exhaust manifolds and I replaced the front brakes and put new tires on all the way around.  I still have less than $1000 in it.
I wanted to drive the car for a few weeks in 2003, but when I went to get the car out of storage a FI hose blew.  When I brought the car home I had new hose and replacement injectors.  My plan was to drive the car for another year or so while I accumulate parts and cash.  Well, one day while I was at the local parts store buying stuff for the pickup the starter made a dreadful sound.  I got the car home and decided not to press my luck any further.

Folks, the wiring under the hood is toasted.  Time for new everything!  I will get started on the disassembly after the first of the year.
