Hey NorCal, Happy Sunday.

I've been gone for a bit, but I'm back now.

Went by Fortuna yesterday, and got to wander through "Auto Xpo" car show...300+ entries, ranging from new to oooold. Not too many trucks though. They had a great tractor show, and some very cool old, smaller engines used to pump water, turn saw blades, etc. 95% of these old motors we're running. Unfortunately I didn't get one picture. We should maybe consider this event for a possible g2g...

Good Monday Morning NorCal...It looks to be a spectacular day here in the Redwoods.

I'm, actually going to get some "Shop" time today...Yipee!

Fortuna is about 20 miles South of Eureka, on the 101 hwy. Lots of sightseeing nearby. A drive down "The Avenue of the Giants" is a must do. We now have a year to pull this together in time for next year's Fortuna Auto Xpo.

Hope you all ave a great day.

Good Morning NorCal...It looks to be another spectacular day here in the Redwoods.

The factory radio in my 99 SD quit on me, and I started to investigate one of those Chinese replacements. Anyone have any experience/nightmare stories to share? I know I should place this on a different forum...sorry.

Hope you all have a great day.
