Okay, so she texts me from the other place saying she found a tank. I'm a little busy so I just text back... "yeah, ok". She comes back and I can see she's a little flushed. I figure it's cold over there or something. She lightly mentions the tank but we are busy looking at a new battery cover for mine. (got a battery cover and oil tank cover NEW for $30/both!) So we get my stuff, leave and she asks if we can just go over and look at the tank. I agree, look and shrug. She shows me the inside and how clean it is, no rust at all. They used a form of electrolysis on it.
She has a way of picking the diamond in the rough and this definitely was rough looking on the outside. All oxidized and dirty, some paint rubbed off from the seat. We go outside, talk it over, I give in and she runs back in and gets it. Fast track to last night... she's off in the corner in her own little fog bent over the thing, mumbling to her self occasionally. Then she produces... *THAT!*
I learned a long time ago to never doubt her intuition or her talent. It really does look as good as new.
As for the snow, nah we don't actually consider that snow. It's a dusting. We did end up with more but only about 2" total. The natives here have been going out of their minds over it though. They just don't know how to handle it. I showed a lady what an ice scraper is... she was amazed. 'Nuff said.
