Alive

Okay i know i've been gone from here but i am alive and well been having some vehicle problems lately my escort has probly a blocked or closed to blocked catalyc converter and have not been able to get in the shop and my 87 needs a new starter which i have now but i don't have the right tools like the right size extension or wobble. So i'm having to drive my trophy winning beater back and forth to work and it's not fun filling that beast up every 2 days. that is the reason i could not make it the g2g last weekend and i have to work this weekend. probly won't be able to make any g2g till nov we have to go on nights 4 on and 3 off starting on the sept 18 till last week in Oct. Well i hope everything is well and good in kansas land.

Well glad you finally checked in. We were wondering about last weekend at the G2G. Hope you get everything fixed up and rolling again.

Way to go Thomas. I did the front brakes on the yota today. 178,000 on the original set of pads as far as I can remember. I also got the back seat back in the 64 Tbird after fun and games with a dead rat. Boy can they create a smell. I had to tear out the original insulation and fix some chewed wires, clean out the rat crap etc. Going to cruise to Cottonwood Falls tomorrow morning with the bird.

Good to hear that you're up and running Tomas!

Del, I have a dog that just loves to hunt rats. Especially, the car eating kind.

Dan, then I'd have to feed the dog and/or leave him outside for the coyotes, foxes, bobcats and mountain lions.
