Happy birthday to your wife...give her a great gift, help with the dinner and clean up afterwards and happy anniversary in the long line of many yet to come.

Wishing everyone a good holiday, excellent fest and fun times with family and friends and well maybe even fun with your cars/trucks. The entire month of November is a busy time for me with swap meets, my own birthday where I do pamper myself with a few gifts, family and the start of the colder temps at end of the month. Now I just need to drag through the commercialized month of December. ENJOY THE FEAST.....you deserve it.!!!

I hear you on the inside house wood burning heaters.....I have two, and one is in the shop and have not used either in years. That is the beauty of the unit I installed...it sits out back of the house and eliminates chimney fires from the living area and only the hot water is pumped in a loop to the house. I was never comfortable leaving a fire burning in the stoves inside the house and thus reluctant to use it. And as you said, the mess is also outside. I have been fortunate that all my wood is given to me. We do not have natural gas service out in this rural area either.

Keith, hear you on that, I have 4 separate pump stations on the supply line with common returns with my big outdoor unit. I have ran a loop to my shop but so far each passing spring/autumn I fail to install my heat exchangers for the shop and run my ducting and registers. Each loop is individually controlled in the manner you wish...just so much to do ......

⛸️?️ I'm comfortably numb at 30 ....brrr...hey, this is SUPPOSED to be the south.... ??? When this time of year rolls around and folks post of the cold, wind and snows....brings to memory good ole Norm Coupe...sport of all sports...always in good cheer. Miss his input here and is friendly banter....

it made it down to 30 with no problem....heavy frost .....the monkey has been out and feeding the fire....the monkey slept warm though.....not sure of what time I went and laid down....I was crunching gearing data last night with much researching. After many website reads, few forum inputs trying to find where someone may actually have some data and no guessing (not, all guessing) and three different technical manuals, I think I got all but one items verified and sorted and got my plan of attack in order...I will strike when they least expect me with cleaned wrenches and hot pot of coffee.

I can see the name change to Clark would could exceed with the initials BLaH

dang I like that....already has racing slicks installed..... GALION is a name I recall from my youth as this was the brand road graders used to scrape the road. Dad would let them park them overnight on the property when doing the road we live by....we kids played on them all the time....

well,,,temps predicted to 30 or so tonight....and will be cold next few days....(we need a high wall at the Canadian border, let them keep this cold up there) I lit a fire earlier in the month and it would not burn clean no draft and even with force air induction no exhaust. That meant one thing, the china cap was plugged and I did not think I wouls see that on this short straight pipe but as the last days of last year were just simply banked burning I am sure this contributed to the creosote. I dropped the pipe and sure enough it was creosoted up.....tonight I lit the fire and instant roaring flames, better drafting for sure, less than an hour later 160 gallons of water from 50 degrees to 170 and unit shut down to sleep mode. Man what a difference....enjoying a coffee for my efforts and a toasty house with the heater now cycling...everything is now automatic except for the monkey that has to throw a log in now and then. Hope all you folks have a warm and safe Thanksgiving and enjoy the feast of the harvest.

Merle.....I stock these in grade 5 and 8 both cadmium plate steel and stainless.....?

where have you looked that did not have them so folks here will not offer up providers that are useless to you....

thought of following in my father's footsteps...bail at earliest age...55. At 55 I said I could do this job standing on my head....as I had retired earlier from the AF Reserves...my next plan was to bail at 60 when I would also draw my reserve pay and go to Tricare which was a huge chunk of insurance savings...windfall payraise....go home making more money than if I stayed....BUT...7 months prior to my age 60 they said here is 25k incentive if you leave now and can be gone in 30 days....yeah, throw me into that briar patch....have loved every day of my retirement....looking back with all this free time, constantly busy and such I wonder today how I ever got anything accomplished about the house while working for the man. I was ready long before, they put the icing on the cake as they say.

you know these were touted for having more interior room than the RR of the same period. These are contrary to what some people think when they see them very roomy inside. While comfort for 4 adults is ideal with fold down rear center arm rest...when up, you can seat 3 slender adults in the back seat, kids...stack them like cord wood. Under the rear seat there is some room for personal belongings also. I will continue the shake down of the little car and next on the list is the refresh of the brakes. Oh I have a good pedal and good brakes now...flex lines an issue, one releases slowly after about 20 minutes of driving and numerous brake applications. Car sat for quite a bit of time as I understand it before I got it this spring less drive train and went through the process of retrofitting the 1985 drivetrain I had been sitting on for 12+ years. After this, I will get back onto my Morris LCV van that was imported here from New Zealand and try to get it finished up.

difference in racing than that of normal road use....that car was not specifically your race on Sunday sell on Monday car...circle track as we all know is not real racing anyway.....give it the gas turn left give it the gas turn left......for certain Petty was not a number of stock items on that beast....short burst of speed on a banked track is not realistic in any manner compared to the highway.

come in for a coffee...mums has the aliens programs running....human captivity, animal mutilations, .....BUNK...I cannot in any fashion imagine an intelligent species not of this planet traveling all this way JUST to poke something in someone's butt...cattle mutilations, them little suckers are hungry...they harvesting the soft tissues....lips and buttholes...they making hot dogs....this make as much sense as most of the theorists come up with....

I assure you cruise at 80+ was not even in the realm of the design and with the roads of the day...the engineers would have to ask what address on what planet in what galaxy is this to be delivered and driven.

the biggest single issue with these car feeling FLOATY is the manner the a arms are dampened with the shock....while they do check spring oscillation as designed by Ma Mopar....they do nothing for checking the body movement as the upper contact is not tied to the chassis..this is amplified at speed....most never go over 60 MPH here and thus never experience the land yacht in low rolling seas.

good deal, keep you off the street and out of trouble for a spell...only things I saw for a D24 at Moultrie was a center dash and it was not in best of shape and damaged on top of that...there were two hood ornaments....the one I use for door stop is pristine compared to the ones on their table.

dang.....my Plymouth flathead don't shift out of first till about 52 mph....top end....? at 80 it is floating at 85 you think it is about to lift off and probably would with a set of wings...70-75 comfortable cruise.

I do not foresee any P15/D24 running here......but this could be interesting..... Silver State Classic Challenge Inc. (sscc.us)

lets be realistic in our comparisons, apples and orange and decades have since past...the modern car industry with the buss systems are enjoying the the ridicules poor ole Lucas got with his daisy chain.....grounds are 90+ of all electrical failures in majority of modern cars....others suffer from poor quality components to start with and all are trying to garner a higher price for their products so many corners are cut.....besides very few cars today will be around in the future compared to what we are calling vintage cars. They will often be referred to only as vintage photographs...

it is the fact you can now spend a few days doing items you put off because of the demand from the man.....time for relaxing, having fun, being with family, enjoying a hobby or two and maybe even travel a bit before easing into that satin lined box.
