THANX ! .
This sounds interesting but I dunno how to do it....
Yesterday was fun because I drove my 50 year old car to Moreno Valley and spent the day tinkering on 35 year old Motos , no bugs (O.K.,a few black widow spiders,thy don't scare me) , no v*rus' , just simple old Machinery well designed and built , all beat to shit yes but they even had a junkpile for me to scavenge parts from , everyone was happy and 52 + old Motos roared off to lunch , no breakdowns .
