Kaboom!

maybe this will give a laugh to start the week off.
this morning about 6:30 my daily driver had a half dead battery. must be from the cold spell were are in. it was 25 degrees out, the warmest morning since last Monday.

so I got in my Ranchero pulled the choke pumped the gas 3 times and cranked motor, and a little longer than usual. well as I was backing the choke off and then back to full she fired, kaboom!! it shook me in the cab, a big flash came out from the drivers side and warmed my foot I had hanging out. my nieghbors light came on and I saw a silouett in the window, I guess looking to see if she still had a nieghbor and or to call 911.

anyway it was a loud drive into work. I just got parts last week to put on my headers so this is a good time as any to work on the exhaust.
