Read moreTilly gets new interior paint….
August 14, 2019
Tilly’s interior was getting a bit beat up over time. I discussed with the CEO and we decided on white again, first cleaned it, rinsed it, primed it. Then using a brush and roller put on a nice coat of oil based paint. The oil part is important because on a hot day, I would STRONGLY recommend an approved mask. I tried with the hold breath method and definitely not effective. Nonetheless, it looks nice, although the smell was noted by the neighbors. Give us a call and take a look at the new inside. Also, I had to drill out a washer for the oil valve cover gasket and cannot say how much I really like having an ACE Hardware close by. Weather is nice and Tilly is ready for your event. MB
Read moreMade new seat covers
August 11, 2019
One thing I learned and enjoyed was a class called Home Ec. I am not even sure if they teach this class anymore but I was taught fundamental skills like balancing a checkbook, baking, sewing etc. I really enjoyed the class and actually enjoyed sewing. I think it was one reason I went into medicine and enjoy the suturing. Nonetheless, Tilley’s seats were getting a bit nasty and I decided to sew new seat covers. I brought up my singer sewing machine, I went to the fabric store, I cut out the design and after a few practice versions created new seat covers. The ice cream one is for traditional events and the wilder one is for practice. It was a great time and I enjoyed the outcome, the process required…
Read moreNew Head Gasket…. Smiling after it works again
July 24, 2019
Right around July, Tilley started to mix all of her fluids including antifreeze, oil and gas into one concoction. Not good for the ole lady, pressure test said compression between cylinder 2 and 3 was low. Well, my good friend Mike came over and we took apart the engine and put a new head, intake and valve cover gaskets in place It took awhile because the bolts were rusty, parts were odd and a mixture of bolts. But in the end, we cleaned it up, put her back together and she started. All the fluids are staying where they should and alot less smoke.

Our patients range from babies born as many as 16 weeks early to full-term infants, multiples, and newborns needing surgery. “The NICU staff are like family for parents who spend weeks and months in the NICU,” said Leach. “Families love coming back to the hospital to show off their babies and reconnect with the people who cared for them during such a challenging time. Seeing these children who were once in our care, happy and healthy, it makes our work so worth it.”

Read moreTIlly attends Portland’s Naked Bike Ride
June 24, 2018
Tilly went to provide ice cream and took a wrong turn and ended up surrounded by the World’s largest Naked bike riders. She put on glasses, blushed a few times but otherwise just sort of stood there inconspicuously and no one noticed. Of course, they did hear the 70’s tunes coming out the back and lots of dancing, enjoyment and peaceful protests. It was alot of fun but not alot of sales. Really hard to eat ice cream, ride a bike and be naked. Oh well, next year, she will bring water. Till next year, keep up the protests and enjoy the day.
