Got a nice pay raise at work, so I have to show my support and actually show up now, but I will be there in spirit.

Well the first is the teacher - if he had blue hair Mike could be any of the English teachers I had in school - the same sour expression and silent disapproval they had!

The second picture is Karl and Dan watching Mike weld - he can walk the walk that he talks about.

The last is Mike showing Karl just how to plug a hole. I also have a picture of Dale and his crew, but forgot to get his permission to post it. I will as soon as he approves.

Dale and crew - lots of new Ford owners in that crew!

I am proud of our chapter - Ed sent me a link to his pickups limited website and they were all grey haired old men!

You wern't out back, but one of us, I won't mention who...needed help to take out an 8-32 screw...suffice it to say, it wasn't me, Karl or Dale..."Sally" didn't have the grip to get the job done

Hey Dan, Cummins made adapters to fit Dodge, GM, and Ford (small block bellhousing). The trick is to find one!

Well, he is not the mechanic who used vice grips and a too big socket to remove the through bolt - and then quickly grabbed the torch so we would not notice how the bolt and nut got stripped.

You guys are just mean...

Thanks to whoever ordered the great weather for today, although the thermostat could've been turned down a few degrees lower...

(But you know me...I'd gripe if they hung me with a new rope...)

But all in all, I think it was a pretty good day. We all got to meet some folks in person that we've only talked to in the past, and that's always fun. I was pretty happy with the Rover for its' first trip, got about 16 MPG with one brake dragging a bit. A few more bugs to work out...

So when do we do it again?
