I went to do the 'second' drive of the year for the '76 on Sunday (the firs=
t was only 5 miles to get the dust off) - dead battery, totally flat.... Di=
dn't have time tomess around jumping it, and I think it needs to sit on a c=
harger anyway. Hopefully can get the battery to the local shop on Friday.

I got my MG out a couple weeks ago, then it turned cold again, so it sat in=
 the garage. Yesterday I thought about driving it to work, but the rear rig=
ht tire was a little flat, it has a nail or something. And other excuses ma=
de me go to the daily driver.

I filled the tire last night, and got the tonneau on ready for this morning=
. I look at the weather channel app and its 45F, perfect. Traffic was a lit=
tle heavy, because Minnesotans can't merge. But otherwise, a wonderful driv=
e in. I think I have a air leak in the carbs somewhere, it just doesn't wan=
t to idle in the cold.=20

So first drive and the list gets longer for things that want attention. New=
 tires (10 years old), steering rack is vague, carbs seem to leak. And the =
body work I've ignored for 10 years.
