Well I did it. After 17 years of marriage I freaked out my wife. I bought myself, and wrapped, for Christmas a coffee maker. Never a coffee drinker mind you and set up an account at Deans Beans from which I ordered 5lbs of misc beans. Mud pie rocks. Got to say this stuff is pretty good. Caffeine anyone? lol
Have a great day

Enjoy your beans Hank LOL. Happy Thirsty Thursday Nor Cal! Excellent weather we are having. A wee bit cold, but otherwise beautiful. Hank, in about two weeks time I should be able to sell insurance. My boss called yesterday, and wanted to know if I would be done with the 52 hour course in two weeks, so I can set up an appointment to take the state exam. I told him I would be as I want to start making money as soon as possible. 
So now I will be spending most of the day studying this course, so I can get it done as quickly as possible.
Jim

Jim, just reading your post i can hear the excitement in your voice. i'm glad you'll be bringing in some cash money before too long.
Hank, were you having a cup when you typed that post? congrats on your big purchase. i've got some brewing downstairs right now.. thee days ago i had one of the worst cups of coffee at the siena spa hotel casino in reno. then, two days ago i had another bad cup of coffee at the meadows cafe at alpine meadows ski resort in tahoe. then, YESTERDAY morning in truckee, i finally had a good cup at the squeeze in restaurant. today, i hope to have another.
in other news, we are back from our trip and slowly unpacking bags, sorting laundry, taking down the tree, opening mail, and just trying to basically get back in the swing of things. snow white ran well but at 320 some thousand miles, she's starting to show signs of age. mild fuel leak at pump (coming from regulated return relief line), fuel leak somewhere at front of block, ESOF doesn't engage, small cut in rubber boot on Y, ... what else... she just needs some work. thinking i may just bite this bullet and take her to the dealership.
you guys have a good day out there! glad to be back and touching base with ya!

I had a cup of vending machine coffee at the Shandon rest stop on my way to Santa Barbara. Worst cup of coffee I'd ever had... But, it did help a little bit.

Hanklin, have you ever heard of a shop out there in livermore called left coast diesel? if you have, have you heard good things about them? they seem to have a nice website and the reviews on yelp seem good. its time for my truck to go in... i'm just deciding where to take it. either mission valley ford trucks off 880 or LCD.

Been a while. Last time PickNPull had half price day, I got a 3G alternator for my 67. Still lagging on putting it on. Need to get some bigger gauge cable to go to the batt, since it's going from 42 amps to 130.
