Yeah, we turned it on during the day a few times. It was always cooler outside at night than I set the t-stat, so I just put a fan in the window for awhile before I went to bed. Usually have turn it off during the night!

I love it!

Octane is held at Perimeter Mall the first Sunday of the month. The Mall is located in Dunwoody on Ashford Dunwoody Rd about half mile north of 285.

The blue is the oil pan with a place where a connecting rod made a hole.

I was halfway between Nashville and Memphis. 330 miles from home.

Yes, that is an engine I was delivering to a friend after the GTG. I gave him the bad news about the delivery schedule and he immediately responded that now I need that engine more than he does.

Hey all,
Well today is the day I try to put the pool liner in. The daily rain helped me procrastinate long enough. I think the push mower finally died, looks like a trip to Lowes for a new one if I get this liner done in a timely manner. Battery in the motorhome is dead too. Looks like I am turning the office into a baby's room. Going to turn the basement into a man cave but that's low on the list right now.

A big welcome to Dean and jhead55, Sorry for waiting so long to approve your request as I am getting caught up on tons of Honey Do's.
