Got some exercise

What a beautiful day. 70 degrees and looking good for tomorrow to. I took the truck out for a little exercise today. The first day out since the new brakes. Everything is working well. I absolutely love the fact that the 12 volt system has created an "instant start" vehicle. I turn the key on, pull the choke, hit the gas pedal, hit the button and adjust the choke. The is no cranking or other delay. The starter spins the engine over so easily and so fast, it starts instantly.
Ran into a lot folks out doing the same. A lot of sweet looking cars and trucks out and about today.

If the owner of the warehouse can meet me I plan on getting 55 F350 out of storage tomorrow or Monday.

High 80's here and 50's at night, not to worry though, by summer we will be miserable with 100 degrees and 90% humidity. Enjoy when you can wherever you are.

You folks got blasted, twice! Glad I retired and don't have to deal with getting up there to see customers. Used to check the weather before scheduling a trip.

Later!
