Wolfus,,,,

Did Hotmail cancel your email this trip.. They do that to me every time I don't log in for 30 days...

If so, how can you be emailed, if not please email me...

E-Mail is a "not done" through FTE, although you can forward through secure channels by way of it. (It arrives with a THIS PERSON HAS SENT YOU AN EMAIL header)

I was at SEA, the ship cut off all non-essential message traffic.

I have full access to hotmail now that I am ashore.

 

The cutting of non-essential message traffic must be a demoralizing issue for the crew. I would have thought, that to a confirmed FTE junky such as yourself, the access to the board was most definitely essential message traffic.

Though I must admit, when away from access to the FTE, I only miss it for the first couple of days, then I get a blank look on my face as I trundle round the country, looking at things.

I'm a Lone Runner...

I vomit up interesting stuff when I'm full of it...

Or either I spit out what I have to say when I think I have something to say...

(sometimes I have been mistaken)

 

The picture of you vomiting up anything, is somewhat gross..

Theo

 

Err, well -
What's a few hairballs among friends, eh?

I have a few plan targets to hit this week, including the dual rims and the back tank hook up.

The oil pressure is unaccountably low all of a sudden though, so oil and filter just hit the top of the priority chart.

I may go twenty fifty to see what happens, dunno if the old fuel pump was ever bypassed - that's another hit.

I hope I don't have to explore the wonderful world of diesel oil pump replacement this week...

 

Hey, Wolfie, you gotta wait until we can come help....

Theo

 

NFH isn't going to wait for anybody, my friend. I have to do what I can and quickly, or it won't last to get it home and do it completely and correctly.

But as long as it gets where I need it to be, I can go through it with a fine toothed comb. There will be plenty of opportunity to explore the wonderful world of truck reconstruction then, believe me.

I forsee at least one frame-off resto, a diesel retrofit into the F-100, and a diesel bus that may not be a FORD at all - I think a pure International with a turbo diesel is best.

I may also rob a bigger diesel engine and driveline out of a bus for another project at the same time, and i would like to at least begin work on a Mercedes so that I'll have a comfortable town car.

So much to do - so little time. I hope I can make money at this, or I'll never get to do everything I want to...

 

I know a lot of people who make a living making dreams happen in the automotive world. Little guys who have a place to live, and a place to work, and who do amazing things with their ideas. I have no doubt that your mind will conjure up marvelous machines that will grow and be sellable.

I got some news on the cashflow - there'll be 86 hundred coming in off the "Executors Fee" for Pop's estate. No wonder the greedy little bugger (my brother) got his panties in a wad over it...

NOPE! He ain't getting it. Definately.

Krikey - that's enough to buy a HOG with, and get it running if I do it right...

 

Good one there.. I look forward to seeing the Hog.

Theo

 

I look forward to these things:

When you fire a HOG, you better keep your knee bent. If she backfire - you goin' over the handlebars!!!

A HOG grunts, and rumbles... The whole frame trembles like it anticipates the highway even when it's standing still.

Every part of a Harley is made for one thing - 75 miles an hour continuously....

You may have mirrors, you seldom look back! A HOG is for going down your own road.

The earth talks to you when you own the road...

Dunno if I'll carry. Dunno if I care....

I have a friend in ND who has a Hog.. Sarah got to ride on it with him.. I missed out on that.
