Having a really mild temp 4th here in the southland. I'm diggin it!

Speaking of the harbor, just got back from Harbor Freight. Does that count? Today only is 25% off any item. Had to go to two stores and they were both packed. Which was okay, as I needed to burn off as much diesel as I could.

Sean,

You DO know that replacement decals are available? Time-period accurate, too.

What kind of items did you procure? Anything exciting?


Poured a lot of mud today over in Bellflower near Clark & Ca91. We were wondering why all these helicopters were hovering over to the West...I somewhat jokingly mentioned that it was probably a barricade situation. Heh:

Not really. A biggish set of slip joint pliers and a strap wrench. I'm pulling my fuel tank Sat and was hoping they had something big enough for the bung nut. Sadly I don't expect either one to help much, but at least I'll have them.

Oh, right...the sending unit. And I guess you're dropping the tank as opposed to raising the bed since you've got the 5 'er hitch now. Fun fun fun.

I'll be in the area Saturday if you need a little help. Or maybe we'll just drive by and honk

Funny thing, couldn't access Facebook in China 'cause they've got their own (pirated) version called (of course, what else?), QQ. I tried to pay for a lantern with Paypal while there - froze 'er up solid. Nothin' but Klaxon's from those folks saying someone had access'd my account illegally... Malware seems undercontrol for now.
