Evening Tim and Ken. We had those lites here about 20 years ago but they were more blue and red, no yellows! So glad you saw it! I guess there has been a bunch of solar flares lately!

Got the rest of the peppers in the barn All that is left that I have concern about frost with are the various squashes.

My buddy Ron brought me a new rear bagger for my mower, I thought it would be great, one pass and it is full! I guess I'll go back to just blowing them into the bushes!

Good morning Washington

Steve, if you mowed twice as often you could make two passes.

Happy Hump Day Washington, Tim, Ken, Steve, Wayne, Ken and all the crew. It has been years sense I saw the lights here and even then; they were very faint and greenish. Over the summer there have been several instances where people have saw them here, but I wasn't out looking.
Another beautiful day started at 40°, clear skies, headed to a full bright sunny day at 73°. It is warmer outside in the sun than in the house! LOL

Well after Wifey get back from the barn, I guess it will be backyard day! OH, how I am dreading that! I will be taking the kennel and doghouses apart, cleaning, moving and reassembling!

Evening Tim and Ken and Wayne. Fall weather here. Frost on the grass up behind the buildings for the first time! I put a set of plugs and wires on the 5.0 in the '88 I did all the frame work on. That was almost harder, reaching down in there and still holding yourself up with the other hand! It sure runs nice now though!

Good job Steve!

I worked on the water leak this afternoon, kinda. I took my shop vac down there, used a couple chunks of galvanized tubing and put holed in 6 locations, no water yet.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Preston, and I am from Yakima, WA.

I used to be a member on this forum for a number of years, but forgot my last email I used with my last handle: Silverbullet6oh

Anyways, I am back now. I bought a 1960 F-100 last Monday. It will be my restoration project. Started a resto thread in the classic truck section.

223 Inline 6, 4 speed manual, 2wd, 8ft bed. It runs and tranny is in good working order. I am glad to be back.










Thanks,
Preston

Welcome back to the forum, Preston! It's good to see another neighbor on the board. That looks like a fun new project you've found. I'll have to follow along on the 57-60 forum. Fridges are cool and don't get the respect they deserve or that other years get, for sure.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.

I found some threads last night talking about Sean (Yahiko) passing away. What a loss. He was a very helpful member and good guy. I remember meeting him a couple of times in person at the WA chapter get gatherings. We use to speak on the phone every now and then as well.

If I remember right, aren’t you located in Okanogan?

I am a factory rep for some companies and I usually visit Okanogan, Tonasket and Oroville twice a year. I will be going up that way next month.

I live outside of Chelan, depending what's going on that day I might be into making a trip to Omak for lunch. Or depending on the time of day your traveling we could meet at Lone Pine for coffee.
