    As a man, I can understand why your dad has done what he has to basically completely remodel your childhood home from what it used to be. It’s (in my view) been his way of coping with the loss of your mom and it’s helped to keep him busy in his retirement years. He seems to be in great spirits and that is a wonderful sight to see for someone his age.

Besides the museum, harley repair, gun shop, gun range, real hot rods, model hot rods collecting everything from vintage gas pumps to 50's malt shop furniture and so much more.
