Another sunny day in Eastern Oregon . Mowed the Lawn in anticipation of the approaching rain, Oh well it will go away eventually. Hope everyone had a productive day around the state.

Got the smoker unloaded and put away, the sink scrubbed up and started pounding the dents out of it. A couple of neighbors that had prior military experience knew what it was right away. "That's the sink you get to stand at if you are the last one to report for KP in the mourning" (pots and pans).

Evening guys! Yes, I got the box out, and had to buy a new pump to go with it. Now I have to build a new pressure side hose because the "new" box has a different fitting on it. The local NAPA can make me a new one tomorrow.

I remember "pots and pans" Mike. Got stuck with KP a couple times in Basic..........

^ Who didn't?

Don, a little behind the times here, how did the 94 F150 you changed over to carb from EFI, and the rig you put the 300 six that I found you a 3 groove crank pulley for, turn out?

The one I converted was a 96 F150, and I need to install a new
fuel pressure regulator with return, and the 67 with the 300 six needs to have the new 3 speed with OD installed, a new driveline built, and the duel exaust finished. Not much for either one, just been way to busy to finish them.......sigh....

I've got more projects than I can finish in my lifetime, but it all goes to Harley when I'm gone, and Harley is a lot like me. Whatever I don't finish Harley will, I hope.......

Evening Jim. Nice sunny 80* day here today, but the rest of the week looks terrible. The weather guessers are saying I could get SNOW tonight! They say the snow level will be 2,800', and I'm at 3,400'. Global warming my butt.......

Wouldn't know Mike. With the exception of "service week" in boot camp, I avoided anything and everything that had to do with KP / Mess Duty. During the boot camp "service week" I stood behind this monster putting bread in one side that dropped out toast on the other. Took something like 5 loafs before the rack you started on came back around empty and you started over again! It was a couple of years before I could look / smell / tolerate toast again. If I could have figured out how to make a sandwich without bread it would have been a couple years for that too.

Haven't you heard the latest?
Now they are blaming global warming for the cooling trends and more ice, more snow, more of everything except common sense! Too much stuff in the atmosphere blocking the suns rays..................
Wonder what the excuse will be next year???
