Good evening Illinois, Jim, Pat, and Ken!

Was a comfortable day here in the River City today, 77° with low humidity. Its time to turn off the A/C and open the windows.

I'm sure that is Saturday#6 up around the curve.

Howdy Don!

Haven't heard from John. I think he was to go to Dryden for an alignment on the P/U. Hope he didn't have problems.

We got to Dryden and met a friend in Tim Horton's . This was the first time he seen the truck other than on pictures. He looked it over and I said I'd start it so he could hear how it sounded. The damn thing wouldn't start...lol He had to give me a boost. What had happened was when I had the alternator bracket loosened so I could get at the bolts on the water pump I didn't notice that I had knocked of the wires to the voltage regulator and had driven all the way to Dryden just on the battery...lol

Don't you just hate that when that happens?

Glad that you got it going again before he left.
