'95 F250 was broken into at Sonny's BBQ on 80 in Jackson yesterday at lunch. Broke my driver's door glass to swipe my GPS. The thrills of life in West Jackson.

I have a door off an 85 and installed the glass, now it doesn't roll up well, very tight. Investigating to see if there is a difference.

Got in last night from Alligator Pt in the Fl Big bend area. Whole lota' sittin', drinkin', readin' & doin' nuthin'. I'd love to do it for 2 weeks, but Terri was getting alil' bored on day 5.

Got in just in time to see State get slaughtered, but I guess it was better than last year's 3-2 joke of a game. (I'm a State fan... I find hope where I can)

Which reminds me we saw a lot of bald eagles this trip. No red ***** of light in the sky this year, though....

First day of autumn, maybe I can get in the shop to do a little work since it is cooling off.

I keep waiting for it to do so, & the weather talking heads keep telling me it will.

If anybody needs to know the specifics of dropping Fox Mustang fuel tanks, I think I can do it in my sleep now.

My summer didn't work out quite how I expected so I'm way behind on a lot of stuff, but I did do a few preliminary things.

Stripped down the front dress of the engine in order to make it easier to check out the integrety of the block water passages, Plugged everything save the lower rad hose to pump & fixed up a hose barb to it. Connected water hose & promptly found rusted out freeze plug. Under a mtr mount as well.

Considering JB Weld or either a expandable style FP as a temp fix. Oil in pan looks good. No milk. Will drain off a quart to be sure. Picked up a primer & I plan on giving the cylinders a shot of marvel mystery/30wt before priming & turning it over by hand. Then see if the starter will spin it. Then check for spark. Then rebuild the 2100...

Then I'll see if there's life in the old girl. If I get past all that, its on to the c-4.

Oh yeah, I backed into the GT with the truck when it was parked in the wrong place as well back in June... Shheeeshe!
