Good evening Oregon and Visiting Ford Fans.
Grr haven't figured out why the old Ford has lost gas mileage.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Just got home from the farm. Got the kitchen plumbing fixed. When I left the other day, I had it useable but told my BIL that he needed to go to town and get a new 1/4 turn valve, 1/2 X 3/8, before the old one really had a blow out. Well, he got the wrong valves. Got the right one tonight and I replaced the old valve and everything is good.

Grr haven't figured out why the old Ford has lost gas mileage.
Have you tried re-training the computer after all the work you did Chris? Disconnect the battery and give the brain time to go blank. Connect the battery back up and drive it at 55-60 for 10 miles or so?

Morning all. Need go home early and wait for a new Fed-x package today that will help keep the spirits up. It will help me make one of my favorite butterscotch treats that some on this list have had.

Also going to pull the engine and tranny out of the donor truck today and start prepping it for the 1950 F2.

Princess Palace is mostly done. Few small things here and there and touch up. She's been living in it for a few months now. I'm taking a break as outside yard work and all is keeping me busy.

Belated good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Been working outside in the 'cool of the morning'. Held in there at 59 for a long time, now it's up to 62. Looks like we have a Marine layer moving in now.

The Warden is way too familiar with all of the tricks of the trade. I guess that is one of the disadvantages to being married for 40 1/2 years.

It very obvious that whomever came up that saying was:
  1. A blithering idiot
  2. Had never been married
  3. was completely unaware that baseball bats and cast iron skillets had been invented.
The last time I asked for forgiveness, the Warden bought a plot in the cemetery. I'm afraid that the next time I have to ask for forgiveness the response will be a casket to put in the plot.

Jim, at least she hasn't got mad that you're not using the plot yet. Mine would be asking me to use go use it.

Good afternoon Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Decided I'm going to go to town and treat myself to a new, bigger hedge trimmer...

I made a mistake 40 years ago and taught her how to actually hit what she was aiming at when using the gun. She actually went on to win some "powder puff" matches at the Police Competition matches we used to shoot.
The moral of that story is that she probably won't even ask, she would facilitate the transition and my change of address on her own without the risk of argument!

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.

Funny how there are times when 10 hours seem like 5 and other times when 5 hours seem like 10...
