Shari and Tim watched it, I could care less about any ball game. I'm not a vary ports minded person. Though I will go fishing at the drop of a hat.

They watched the game. and I got started on this next years Christmas light stuff. We're doubling the amount of channels we had last year. So it takes even more time now. But it should be a sweet show.

I'm with you on the ball games Larry. I could care less about any of them.
Carb has cleaned up pretty nice. Hoping to put it together tomorrow. Then depending on what Mother Nature has in store, I'd like to get it back in and running.

Yes she did! I left a sink running low last night, and it looks like we're going to do that about every night for the next week.

I was in Oxford for a funeral Sunday and it was unbearably cold and windy.
Note to me: buy an overcoat to wear with your suit...

So this morning a company came in to oversee some work we are doing. So I spent the day with 3 geologist/scientists, my bossman, and 2 people from EAD standing over me while I'm working. I hate 1 person standing over my shoulder, let alone 6 people doing it.

Think tonight maybe a turkey and coke kind of night.

It's freaking cold!

Tony, sorry for your loss.

Bob, how did the housing look? I remember having issues with I think the idle screw on Motorcraft carbs. If it gets tightened down to hard, it will actually flare the pin hole it meters and cause the carb to always be off, and never adjust right. I believe on the j-10 I went through 3 motorcraft carbs (2150's i think) for that issue.
