Sat in the car tonight and made a list of all the lights I could see were not working.

    Posted on 12 December 2012 by matthannan

    The Volvo has always been a bit dark on the inside. Not that it is evil in any way, just that it has a lack of light. In reading the world famous Matthew’s Volvo Site, I am seeing that I have a lot of little light bulbs to replace.… Read the rest

    I was getting ready to start brewing up sixteen 5gal batches of beer for the wedding.
