Whaddupp fellers!
Shari and I have made an offer on a house that we looked last last weekend.
The sellers have until Monday evening to say yes or no. Fingers crossed.
She gets to be closer to friends and family, and I get to be an hour away from them.
Hope y'all are doing well.

Thought I'd come in and BS about how much I've done on my F100. Well.... I got some stuff at the scrap-yard but thats about it.
The BH wants her Mustang (4.0 SOHC) rebuilt and back on the road before I can start on the F100. Motivation is definitely there for the F100 but bent valves, broken timing chain and general engine sludge have meant that inspiration and motivation have been lacking for the poor old mustang. Sleeves well and truly rolled up this week though and hopefully it'll be on to the F100 soon.

Bob,
We all know how much you love moving. Quit trying to hide it.
UG, I do not envy you working under a pecan tree this week. Heck, I don't even like being in the workshop when it's this cold.
Hope everyone else is doing well and staying warm. I heard that some of that white stuff was reported down in Moore County.
