Good morning, John. Whatcha got coming??!?!!?!? I love it when Santa's big brown sleigh comes down the driveway! The white sleigh too, though it's usually a stoned elf with dreadlocks driving it.

 

Rings and bearings, timing gear set, frost plugs and gaskets. Going to use the crank from the first engine I tore done which is machined .010 under and standard rings for the block from the second engine. Just bought a ball hone to dress the cylinders as there is still evidence of the original cross hatching in all the cylinders..not sure when I'll get around to assembling it because with this cold freezing temperatures we have now I have no place I can thoroughly wash it..

 

Dont forget the pictures John.

 

Yep, keep us pictured up!

 

Don't think it will be anything special , Summit Racing shipped things out today and likely be a couple weeks before I see the order..

 

John, Was thinking about your the final look of your project. How bout a roundel with a maple leaf & "Canada's Finest Towing" surrounding it on the door?

In local weather news, a balmy 14* (F) this morning.

We got a bout 2-1/2 hours of light sleet here last night. Results were predictable.

This morning there was a 12 car, 3 semi wreck just before what I call our "Talladega Turn" on I-20 near downtown.

Fortunately no deaths.

One more night, Wed we get above freezing during the day.

 

Morning David...maybe a maple leaf and the words finest grocery getter ...lol

 

Well people, I'm certainly tired of this artic BS.

When 40s' (and you're happy to see em') seem like a day at the beach it's TOO COLD.

Good week to you all.

 

Morning David, it's warming up here now, only -11°C this morning . Big improvement from -29° C yesterday...lol

 

We might have 60s today. Also might have flood.

2-5 inches of rain depending on how the front breaks passing over the central part of the state.

They keep saying "drought busting"... but it sounds like BS.

 

Good morning David, have your canoe ready..

 

Good morning everyone. Anyone have a spare ARK I can borrow? Have had more rain in 12 hours than in the last 12 weeks. Oh spring, where art thou?

 

Good afternoon to all , hope you're not getting flooded out..

 

It's amazing. There is in Jxn a (very old) RR overpass in the downtown area.

Been there for multiple decades.

There is a GREAT BIG yellow DEPTH gauge where the street dips.

Whenever the need arises for a "flood" image from the deep south, they just pull out the latest moron pics of of these idiots trying to go under this trestle.

Makes the national news every time.

 

You cant fix stupid and you cant stop them from moving to Jackson
