I bought this Sun LS2000 on marketplace, it wasn’t expensive and my thought was it would be a handy scope to have out on the road for quick checks. I thought it would be like having a second Vantage. It isn’t. That’s not to say it’s bad.....

A trip down memory lane.I went to a place called The Bomb Shelter in Akron today it stirred up memories. There was a Citroën DS outside which piqued my interest straight, a Citroën in the US is a rare sight but an immaculate DS in Nth Eastern Ohio is rare indeed.

Craftsman Ratchets find:
Some old Craftsman Ratchets from a recent rummage sale toolbox collection I bought. Still going through them. A.I. says I really hit the jackpot here. I love how it’s always so positive and upbeat 😂
