Well if your testing your spacebar it still doesn't work.

[olblu66]

how do you delete this damn post?

[JeepSnake]

Not sure how to delete, OlBlu. I guess Patrick may have to do it.

In the meantime, why waste a perfectly good thread?

Anybody do anything cool today? We went to a small Hit & Miss Engine show this morning. Some mighty cool and interesting hardware. The neatest one was a Reid engine designed and built in Oil City, PA, for pumping crude oil. 107 years old, and it ran like a top.

Can't think of anything better than those old engines for introducing someone to the principles of internal combustion!

Well Zack I was trying to load pictures and meant to hit preview. I hit submit instead.

This should be an interesting thread - Good job Zack.

I'm getting the car ready for the Western States Cobra Bash - May 15-18. Flushed and changed the clutch hydraulic fluid with Wilwood 600 High-temp.... damn, that stuffs not cheap! I blew a passenger-side exhaust header gasket a while back, so that got re-tightened for the third time while it's up in the air. Probably do a wipe down down-under before I put it back on the ground. The temp here has been real nice in the mid 70's, low 80's. By mid-week next week it is forecasted to be in the 90's for several days in a row.... a perfect time to head for the Sierra's. On the first WSCB, 4-years ago, we drove up in the snow!

I finished up the shop, then we drank some tall cool ones and polished off about 50LBS of crawfish with all the trimmings.

I watched my grandson this morning while the women went and did woman stuff. Man I wish I had the energy of that 2 year old, he kept this grampa busy the whole time. Spent the afternoon working on the car, I'll post what I did on that later.

My oldest grandson is going on six. He has volunteered to help me with the car. He told his granny he could make the car sounds when they go on their gararge drives.

I have been messing around with a different shifter and found when I was under the car that the welded nutserts that hold my passenger sidepipe on had pulled out of the frame. So I pulled the sidepipe and was able to weld them back in. Got lucky.
Then took her for a spin up to the local hot rod get together. Then on to a little cruise before heading home.
It rained all morning but turned out to be a beautiful evening.

We took ther ladies out dancing last night. Rolled out of bed late this morning.

Wow Will! Not something anyone wants to wake up to.
It is still raining here in Southern Maryland. Bad winds last night. Next door nieghbor has a tree on there deck and roof. Did some damage.
For us a little water in the basement so I had to clear out the gutters. I feel for the people who had it bad.
Mother's Day was good as the boys and I went to church then cleaned the house and made dinner. Steaks on the grill(in the rain) baked potatoes, salad, fresh bread, fried onions and mushrooms.
Wife had to work early in the morning at her new job. When she came home at noon all she had to do was lie on the sofa. We took care of everything.
She was very happy.

Will, glad all is well in the Butterworth homestead. To call church off is indeed significant.

Does feel good I'm sure to be able to leand a helping hand. Bless y'all.

Twisters, hurricanes, floods, shakers in China...... as much as I hate to think about, the west coast is way over due for a good quake. We're headed for the Oregon Coast next week. Will - glad you are all safe.

The car-buddy whose yard we worked on got out of the hospital yesterday. He passed all his stress tests, etc. a-okay. They think that he passed out due to a combination of excitement, low blood pressure, etc.

Even though their place took a serious pounding, damage to their house and his shop was relatively minor. And, his '62 Golden Anniversary Impala made it through without a scratch!
