not sure how the truck will run. the 1195 carb is at Barry Grant getting fixed so we borrowed a 895. ran with the 895 two weeks ago and ran 12.04 so it should run 12.15-12.20 in denver.

Too hot for Wyoming. Cheyenne set a single day record of 97 for August on Friday. The humidity for Friday was at 7%. There was also a record low amount of rain for July at less than 1". Pretty dry and brown here.

I think we're done with the rain for a while. We had 16-18 inches in June alone! I know you guys still had a lot of snow up in the mountains, at least up by Lander, when I was out there. I've never seen snow that late in June out there.
