    Converting M35 Troop Seats to M135

    We call that stuff premature Summer debris. It got up to 70 on Sunday. It will 105 soon enough. We enjoy Spring because we know that a lot worse is coming soon. The sort of green stuff at the base of the tree is the hood. I still have a long way to go.

    Converting M35 Troop Seats to M135
