Upper 80's is not a good thing at any time unless it is inside the house in the winter time after you have been out in the snow! LOL!

Good evening New York!

 

I spent most of the summer of '75 in the VB/Norfolk area. I definately remember the heat. I was working for a concrete testing place that was monitoring the building of some tall place down on the water in the downtown area, it may have been the Omni Hotel, I am not sure how I remember that, anyway, I definately know what you have had to endure. Sounds like a bunch of frustration with the engine. Things like that can really eat at you. At least you can drive it. Up here, I always want to get things fixed up before the freezing weather comes along and makes it harder to work on stuff. I have a decent garage but it takes me two days of burning wood to get it warmed up in the really cold weather, not the best insulation in the world. Now it is hotter inside than out! I have been trying to make up some tail pipes for the '86 lately.

 

Evening Rick!

 

Hey Rick, any cooler weather on the way?

 

Hey Steve!

Cold front passed thru Illinois this afternoon and has made going outside bearable. Got a dab of rain while passing. Expect more around 1:15AM tomorrow.

 

Sounds good, keep it coming!

 

See you folks later.

 

Goodnight Steve TTYL bud.

 

Hi Rick, Steve, Shawn.
This is not a good time to try to see a doctor. Older boy hasn't been feeling well for the past week. Finally decided to go today...Checked in at 4:30 , just got in to see a doc at 9:30. The way it looks he won't be going to work tomorrow.


Night Steve.

 

Howdy George!

My thoughts are with him George. Got to get him back on the payroll.
