Rich One of the best sat afternoon I have had in a long time. The manual is very welcome. Cant wait to start to look at it. The red truck got 12 MPG must need a tune up? The 77 got 10 on the way here. drove home at 60 MPH. Thanks again for the motor we will see where it stands . I got a soft spot for early bronco's .

 

Correction The red truck got 13.4 MPG.

 

That is great gas mileage for a 3/4 4wd truck with a 5.4 gas motor and an extra gas motor in the bed. lol

Like wise for me, you are more than welcome to come this way anytime or maybe I can get that way for some hanging out.

 

Morning folks, cold out there. Remember those outside pets need a warm place too.

 

good morning missouri.. glad to hear ben got his engine and some advice.. ben you know if there is anything that this senile, feeble, useless old man can help with just let me know..

i am sitting here trying to think of something to do and nothing is coming to mind..... i have a 10 yr. old boy sitting here watching cartoons but i am sure he would rather be outside doing some kind of work.. ha ha ha ha ... i will have to give this some more thought..

 

No worries there Rich. They've taken over the couches & blankets here...





That's about all that's going on here RC. I've got a number of things that I need to do, but every one of them involve being outside. I took the dog out earlier to do his business and I thought I heard Nanook of the North and his dogs moving around so we headed back inside.

 

It's currently a balmy 1 degree here in KC.

 

Good morning all. Awoke to no running water this morning, got cold enough to freeze in the line from the well to the house, got it running again. Watching The Mechanic from 1972 while warming back up.

 

So that WAS Chip making all that noise up north. Glad you got it running again. I've got my fingers crossed that Mom & Dad's place doesn't freeze up before this cold snap is over.

 

Honey My car is out of gas ,and while your out i need some things from the store .Ever heard that before . RC teach him to build a fire 11 year olds are piros , you will be warm .
Alan ,Alan did you here that [ Was nice to meet ya and hang out in the warm shop versus outside ] .You gotta get inside some how .

 

Evening Everyone!

Yeah, yeah. Working on getting the slab poured for the shop in the spring. Hope to have a new home for the truck by April (ish).

All the Christmas decorations are down and put away until next year. Deer meat chili is in the crock pot and should be ready to go pretty soon.

We've been cycling the outside pets in and out all day. They hate being inside, but we keep bringing them inside so they can eat and drink water that isn't frozen. They spend the night inside.

If anybody is bored and needs something to do, we're just hanging out at the house. Maybe we'll break out the playing cards if enough people show up.

 

I was thinking the engine was sucking below freezing air, wonder what that would do to gas millage.

 

Thanks RC I would like to report back with the plastic gauge readings I get but since I am working outside it might take some time.
