Yup, filled up there, and continued up PA 44. Just filled up at Sheetz in Coudersport again. It’s pretty thirsty. Using their WiFi.

No, no better. I have 2 weeks till we race to get it figured out. I think my plugs are too white, running lean.

It ran up and down the Alleghenies ok, just doesn’t want to rev nicely above 2500. I think I’m running lean. The plugs are at least 2 years old.

The bear says, "Mrs. Pinto Plumber, can Dennis come out and play?"

Cool pictures. Great old bridge.
Abe, I was checking out your grill on the other thread about the yellow Ford paint and it looks great. You've got a beautiful truck.

"Hello Ma'am, my name is Smokey D. Bear and I'm running for governor. Here's my campaign handout which describes my key positions on today's issues. I'm in your neighborhood this week and wanted to meet some people face to face and door-to-door . I hope you can vote for me in November".

Dennis, the bear didn't just use that green and white outhouse did it? If so, it would answer that age old question.

No, there are federal army corps of engineers designated bear latrine areas. We have 'em trained pretty good.

I'm embarrassed to say I never noticed the bear until you guys started joking about it. Old age and recent eye surgery is my excuse!
I was checking out the nice pickup!

By the way, it's a 3 legged bear. When I get to my IPad I'll post a better picture from last year. He's missing his right front leg.
