Thanks for the condolances

Was nice to see family and friends. My Dad was buried at Ft Snelling in the Twin Cities. A real place of honor, it was awe inspiring.

Have been a mechanic since 1970s after going to Vo-Tech for auto mechanics in Mn. Moved out to Oregon soon after. Was a Ford tech for a number of years and ran and worked a truck shop for 10yrs.
Self employed with my own shop for over 13yrs working on way too many different things, from new cars and pickups to a Model A.
Raced a SBF in a Maverick for 8yrs that was a street car that ran best of 11.46 @117 in the late70s and early 80s. I enjoy shooting, hunting, dirt bike riding in remote areas,fishing, camping, whitewater rafting and just enjoying the great outdoors.
Just bought a 1993 F250 with a 460 and E4OD. Had a Ford pickup most of my life. Plan on doing some testing with the EFI460 to improve power and mileage. Will let you guys know.

Dave
