I tried to post this earlier and lost my text. Try#2.
Speaking of wheels literally, during my trip to Seattle from Portland (I put on 500 miles all tolled), I had a loose axle nut. About a 1/2" slippage, which was tightened up, new cotter pins and I was off.
On Seattle's bumpy, poorly patched streets with lots of tracks and utility covers set 2" below grade, it's not surprising I lost a hubcap. Never heard it. Fortunately I just bought a set. Unfortunately I didn't bring one with me. But this occurred on Saturday night and I left on Sunday.
Speaking of wheels figuratively, The Shop Club is a new business concept and a very successful one. A friend whose son-in-law built out a large warehouse in the industrial area, created a restaurant, bar, secure storage for 100s of cars - some $400K and $500K sports models - a shop with all tools and staff, a huge wash bay, and rooms for members. She invited me to lunch there and I had a tour, but the website does a better job than my pix. Only a handful of prewar cars, but a very cool concept for car people.
Do watch the homepage video. Every space (including stacking cars with automated lifts now on all outside walls) has been taken at $250/mo.http://theshopclubs.com/#https://www.instagram.com/p/BkWXqiWAoZv/?hl=en&tagged=theshopsesttle
On Sunday, other friends invited me to their daughter's place in Burien south of Seattle, which was preparing for the annual over-the-water fireworks display. Their place has a nice view of Mt Ranier.
