Spring has somewhat arrived here in New England. It's the part where it's relatively warm during the day and you can wear t-shirts and for the more daring shorts. Yet at night you're still bundled up with a warm hat and hoodie at night. Warm enough for a Red Sox game during the day and yet a Bruin's playoff game seems appropriate at night.
It's the time of year the Bugs start come out, both the creepy crawling ones and the four wheeled motorized ones. Just recently I took mine out on one of the those warm days recently brought my VW back to life. I grabbed the battery from the tender where it's been trickle charging most of the winter. Installed the battery under the backseat I put it back tentatively as it's bit of pain to install back in. I checked the oil and checked to make sure no critters took up residence there over the winter.
I hopped in the front seat flipped on the dome light above the door and the light worked so I knew I had power. Slid the key into the engine, pumped the gas peddle a couple of times and turned the key. Withing a chug or two the engine roared to life with little hesitation. I let it warm up until it settles to a relatively smoother idle. I still love the sound of the chirpy exhaust. Spring has come back.
