Good morning. Happy New Year. We didn’t get very restful sleep last night, not for lack of trying.

Good morning John, Roy, Evan and those to follow.
The bangs and booms started about 9pm and went after 1am.

Good frosty morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
Bang and booms started just after full darkness last night. By midnight, I think most of the ammo dumps had been drained. Dead quiet by 00:15.

Usually no where near as noisy around here. Cowboys, Indians and loggers must have had a little larger explosive ordinance budget this year.

It surprised us that someone wasn't firing some off , likely too cold for anyone to go outside last night or they were too drunk to light them...

Good evening Oregon and Visiting Ford Fans.
Finally have the intake out of the Ford, now to get parts cleaned painted and installed.
I had thought about letting the air out of the front tires to make reaching the back of the engine easier but would up laying a 2x6 from the radiator support to the cowl and leaning on it and that sure saved my back.
