Luckily, we don't have any anymore. I prefer glow worms to glow plugs and that reminds me of the caves and forests in New Zealand.

He was a boat captain and I have very fond memories of walking down to Dinner Key Marina (that is in Miami, a bit south of where you are now) after getting out of grade school and he would invariably be hunched down below some bulkhead fixing something like this. The many screws and pieces spread out neatly never seemed to amaze me. Looking at that pic actually brings back the smell of the lubricant that had to be used for whatever it was used for. Lol. <br />Thanks for taking me down memory lane!Handmade Jewelry Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410753550148112360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-37531187268145194602016-12-28T04:58:48.248-08:002016-12-28T04:58:48.248-08:00When I hear the words "glow plugs" I thi...When I hear the words "glow plugs" I think about Waitomo Caves in New Zealand.
