As much info as possible to learn how to tune my Moates Quarterhorse programmer to put modern fuel injection on an old school big block Ford.

I'm also rereading Treasure Island, I was in the fifth grade the first time. It's help cut my stress lately.

I haven’t gotten as quickly through Churchill’s Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare as intended, but I’m actually enjoying the leisurely pace of a chapter every couple days. Thoroughly interesting and fascinating account, one which I highly recommend. Will finish it in the next few days. Then it’s on to A Woman of No Importance ... The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II.

I completely understand. There have been many books that I have found interesting but have not zipped through. Some I have put aside for months only to come back and enjoy thoroughly again.

Currently I haven’t picked up a book in a couple weeks. Just sometimes I step away for a bit only to come back and find myself with a book in my hands full time.

Just finished the book, made all the better by the small glass of Wellers Antique 107 beside me. I can’t recommend this book enough. Or the Wellers.

You seriously need to read this book. Book and glass pictured, for your convenience.

The people and events in the book intersect with my dad’s time in the OSS. I think at least some of his demolition and sniper training in England and the US was under the auspices of these fellows. Really enthralling read.

"Spy" is such a mean word, though. Intelligence collection is one of the most important aspects of diplomacy. Humans lie and deceive. It's in our nature. It's important to know what you're actually dealing with before you make life changing decisions. I'm confident your Dad would agree with me.

I think the more I learn, the more I realize Dad was equal parts spy and guerilla. Trained in demolition and as a sniper, along with Polish language skills to connect with Polish and French resistance in the Dijon area.
