What will you do in 2018?

It's coming up on New Year's Resolution time.What will you do in 2018

• to make the world a better place
• to make you a better person
• to help someone else

I'll be spending time and money to support progressive candidates and idealsI'll work on more exercise and better diet (ketone diet)I'll be donating to education servicesEnjoy

Well there are some things that I want to do this coming year, I don't think they are resolutions per seI plan to turn in my old phones to a recycling program that furnishes phones to abused women. Even without a carrier the 911 emergency can be used and they can also be used to get wifi for email etc for job opportunities. There is also a wifiphone app.I plan to build a wood canoe or kayak, haven't quite decided (the canoe would be easier).Plus I want to get my two antique mini's up to full operational potential. The grey van - Max - is a newer acquisition, recently from Finland where it was in a show in 2016. He just needs some fine tuning (heat, choke, etc) to operate in winter.The maroon ("amarento") is an Italian made (under license with Austin Motors) innocenti - Amy - and she was bought as a pile of parts. Running now but needs a few things to be street legal.It's good to have goalsEnjoy

Happy Gnu Beer Mike, hope it is fruitful and rewarding. Indeed, but without even a little difference there is no hope. So I have to believe that each little bit chips away at the status quo.Enjoy

The van is rather bumpy and the sedan is much more comfortable. This is due in part to the wheel size (10" rims on the van and 12" on the sedan) because smaller wheels go deeper into the holes, and due in part to the suspension (the van is stiff so it can carry a load, while the sedan is set for passengers).I get 40 mpg in the van. Haven't tested it in the sedan yet, but I expect lower because way bigger engine (1275 cc compared to 850 cc -- 50% increase), and she jumps off the line.Enjoy
