Pre op exam, operation, post op and colon check. Government decided to throw in a jury duty too.







That's Miami? Looks almost exactly like the channel in the Port of Galveston; I sailed out of there in October. I feel ya on everything else too, I just got cortisone shots in both my knees this week and my left one hasn't been happy. II had the colon thing a couple of years ago, but I did the home kit. Less invasive, but gross... And irony, my 79 year old mom AND my sister both got summoned for jury duty last week. Rains it pours, right?

Good Morning Yalls.... Great to here all the good news... Sounds like things are moving right along...
I dont mind the Edelbrock, Once you get use to tuning them it becomes a good mild manners deal...

Not much going on around here.... I'm kind of moving slow.... Feeling kind of punny lately...
Have a good week yalls

Have a good week yalls
Sorry to hear you've got the punies bud, hope you get to feeling better soon. We're in high cotton here, been a really nice week, even set a record high of 82 today. Went out and fired up the grille for the first time this year, man oh man was that a long time coming. Went out and got in some garage time yesterday, moved the Challenger around and swept all the leaves that blew in every time I opened the garage door this winter. Now that I've got the workspace rearranged I'm gonna try and at least get the old brake booster off the '70, then I can swap the hacked up engine harness out for a new one and swap the carb out at the same time. I never actually had any trouble with the Performer carbs, I've actually been able to run them right out of the box, just set the idle speed and go. Hopefully this one will be the same, I'm anxious to get that ol' thang out and do some mogatin'. Our little Bartlett cruise-in starts back next week; it starts and ends with the time change.
I did something I never thought I'd do if I lived 10 lifetimes on Wednesday. I took the Durango through a car wash. Yeah, I know, but the knees just won't agree to spending an hour plus out there squatting to do the wheels, climbing on a stepstool to do the roof, so I pulled the trigger. They've come a long way, I don't think I could have done better myself.
Got a rainy weekend coming up so I'll be getting some stuff done inside, hope everybody has a great one.

Good Mopar Family.... Hope all is well...

Rod, Thats is a cool old shirt... One thing i was surprised to see was the W.J. signed it... hahahahaha... That cracks me up!!!!
I'm really an all around kind of a car guy.... But Mopars are my passion, I suppose i just like them more and always turned more heads... And most folks new it was me when i showed up...lol
Hope all went well for you at the doctors and hope the shots are helping for you to be able to get out and get some things done out in the shop...
I got some Brand-X stuff I need to get worked on for a few buddy's, Now that the weather doesn't make my bone hurt so much, i think i better get rolling on them...

Tom, That would be neat for you to get that Hot Rod back out and on the road....

Have a great week yalls..... See ya soon...

Happy first day of spring! Hope y'all have the nice weather we've got here, going to be a perfect weekend. I took the '36 to its first Thursday night cruise-in of 2026 yesterday, had an overflow crowd which was no surprise with the great weather-sunny and 77. Saw a fine sublime green '70 Road Runner, about the only option it didn't have was the air grabber which was understandable since it had a/c. This morning I've been scraping and chiseling the petrified carpet glue off my seat belt retractor covers from the Challenger; I tried every safe for plastic product I could find and nothing even touched it, so it's a purely try to not cut my hand off battle with a razor knife and scraper. Got one pretty well finished and the other is about 75%. I'm headed out in a few minutes to put the battery back in my rider and fire it up, maybe run it across the back yard, then I'm going to insulate my garage door with some sheet styrafoam insulation I bought last year. Tomorrow will be the Cars & Coffee and when I get home from that I'm going to get out and do some work on the Challenger. The cortisone shots have finally kicked in and my knees are feeling up to it now. I entered a new decade earlier this week too, so there's that...
Been on here too long so I'm gonna sign off before I get lazy...
