Another Traffic Cam for Poulsbo

Kitsap Mall Sells for $25 M
The Kitsap Mall has just been sold to the Rhino investment group. You may be wondering why this rates mention in the Auto News section, however it was the home of the Cool Car Cruise for a number of years. It remains to be seen who will be brought in to replace Maceys when they depart, however it is hoped the location can once again host a Cruise In. The previous owners treated the event more like a nuisance rather than a resource. The $950 fee for renting the empty parking space simply did not fit into the Cruise program.

Grandpaw’s Wrench
This Wrench belonged to my Grandfather. He worked for Continental Can Company in Seattle back in the 20’s (that’s the 1920’s). I inherited his Machinist Tool Box years ago and this was one of the many tools inside. Every once in a while I get it out and use it. Should I drop that Wrench it will land on this Website somewhere. If you should find it and let me know where you found it, we will award you with a prize. Good Hunting!

Hit the road and ditch the Ethanol
We have all heard the horror stories of the old rides attacked by the addition of Ethanol to Gasoline. It is fixing to get even worse this fall when they add another 5% to the mix! Often attacking the earlier forms of rubber in Fuel Pumps and causing lots of corrosion in vehicles that sit for long periods. Non Ethanol fuel is available if you know where to look for it. Here is a link to the stations that supply non Ethanol fuel in our state. https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=WA
