Yea, I have one of the big ole' cabinet type dwell meters also, with an advance-able timing light. It's in a large plywood case somewhere down in the barn. I think there is also a few degree wheels in there also. Yea, the good ole' days are a distant memory which means we're getting old...lol.

I hope all of you fine folks are doing well. Keep warm!

Shes been sleeping pretty much through the night since about 6 weeks old. She will wake up maybe 2-3 times a week but goes right back out. However she does tend to be up by 5:30-6 in the morning.

That sucks. No get together's unless I'm there!
With the weather warming up this weekend, I'm going to start cleaning up the broken limbs that are still on the ground from the 10"s of snow, then ice that we had a few weekends ago.

Don't worry Bob, we promise not to fire up a smoker this weekend. Just doing a few things to get ready for the camping season coming soon.

If the weather turns out as it’s been predicted, I’m going crappie fishing on high rock lake. I’m mechaniced out this week, that dang CAT engine is out of my Pete so I’m took this opportunity to redo the front suspension and steering.
