Lisa - you're topping out in the mid-70's? Hmmmm.... might be a little cooler than I'd call ideal, but better than 90* with 70% humidity

38* & foggy... oooooohhhhh... I'm liking the sound of that! Hot tea and a hammock... nice.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, this area of Iowa is due for an extremely cold winter. Joy! Stock up on the Diesel 911.

Sweet. Is it a sparky, or a diesel?

Here is what I am after, someday, when I have a place to put it:

Diesel of course.

Good morning Jim! I dropped you a message on IM last night. We had light rain here yesterday and last night. I believe we got about 3/4 of an inch of partly cloudy yesterday.

Yup....AKC. Male is about 9 months old and the female is 2 years old. They have the same parents, just different litters.

I've seen a lot of nicely restored 8N and 9Ns. But I know what you mean, I have a tendency to get my hands into too many projects at once.

I have a bunch of various "parts" just sitting in my garage waiting for me to install them on the truck...some pretty red plenum boots, a new sophisticated rearview mirror, fuel crossover kit..that and I have an oil leak I'm having a hard time tracking down

Some people give me a hard time about wanting a diesel tractor..especially in colder temps. Hey man that is what spray ether is for.

I thought it'd be fun to find an old broke down 3000 or 5000 and buy it cheap and tear it apart and try and rebuild it one piece at a time. I know my diesels pretty well but my tractor knowledge needs work, hopefully I'd figure it out as I went.

Add it to the list of things I'd like to hopefully do before I die.
