Happy Birthday, Youngin'.
Rich. I kept seeing that red '76 and wondering if that was your inspiration for re-doing ole' red.
I just popped in for some lunch, but have to get back at it. I have the fuel system in the Foxbody about wrapped up. I just have to rebuild ANOTHER carburetor for it. (The first one had the threads pulled out of the squirter hole so they wouldn't stay in place.)
Yup, I'll be working right up until the girls get into the car to leave.

Howdy, howdy boys and girls.
Got a few minutes between job A and job B and thought I'd say hello.
Hello.
All is well, family life is still a bit crazy, but we're all adjusting and everyone is trying their best...that's all I can ask.
The good news is that there is now only ONE day a week that I'm working both jobs...the bad news is, this is it. I worked from 7 til 2 at job A, and now will go work 4-midnightish at job B.

That's a pretty sweet deal, but my bed is in pretty good shape. I'll probably wish I had jumped on in eventually, but I've got too many irons in the fire right now to go picking up more parts.
This hasn't been my week. I spent 2 days off work because of this %$^#@ chest cold. I'm feeling better, but still hacking up crap all night. My sister fell down while walking to pay her electric bill and was taken to the hospital (again). She busted her face up pretty good this time which bled like a mother - scared some locals pretty good. Mom needed to go shopping anyhow, so we jumped in the van since it could hold groceries and people at the same time. I quickly discovered that the vacuum line to the HVAC controls had been chewed on and somewhere along the way the coolant temp sensor failed. According to the freeze frame data I pulled - the computer thinks the van was at -40 degrees Celsius. I picked up a new one at the parts store only to be given one that is obviously not the right one once I looked closer. Now the carpet cleaner has died...
I'm going back to bed...
