HI Randy, doing pretty good and it is cold here. It got into the mid 20's but the windchill dropped it into the teens. We are getting a light dusting of snow too.

Pat, I am willing to bet that you are not even in the same class as these people are when it comes to holiday lights.

haven't even made it home yet
gonna wait till morning to try and squeeze one more trip out of her...seems to be running ok, given it's condition...but i figure if it does crap out, i wanna have some daylight to load the damn thing on a trailer rather than screw w/ it when it's both cold and dark.
the really good news is the farmer i work for back home has a million freaking projects to do when i get there...install injection pump on a skid loader...tw-25 ford tractor needs a clutch, 2 speed power shift overhaul, hydrolic pump, and the brakes are acting up, but i suspect it was b/c the pump was taking a crap...feed truck don't have any brakes either...and THEN i should be able to get to my truck!!
at least the wind died down outside so i don't totally freeze my *** of when i go have a smoke, but from what i've been reading, Sunday is going to be a real dandy! oh boy...
well Randy, i'm gonna try and make it a straight shot home, but if i happen to blow her up i'll see if the momentum will carry me as far as the shop lol, from what u've been writing, it's warm there!

oo good idea, i'll do that. makes sense actually...i think she'll make it home, it tends to overheat when i drive it in town, but on the open road it seems to run ok. i'm gonna double check and make sure i don't have too much water runnin thru the oil in the morning before i head out tho

stop at the chevy dealer in GI,parts dept and buy some gm pills, its the almond bark stuff, put that in and it will seal up any head gasket leak,think its like 3 or 4 bucks,get like 4 pills, gotta put it in the rad. will fix your rad. too, chevy uses them right out of the factory to seal up any leaks, the stuff is great,oh, check this out eBay Motors: Clifford Ford 240/300 6 cyl. 4 bbl.
