Well, it's back to classes for me. 8am to 7 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.. yes, some breaks in between, but no sense going anywhere, so I just stay on campus that whole time... Fridays are short though, 10-2...

Gonna take a little getting back into those long school days.. It was warmer, but not all that nice with the wind... Had a few flurries, but unless you were out in it, likely couldn't tell it. Now they are saying possible rain next week... what a change!

Old man has been out on the tractor playing around too much, he now has his knee so irritated he can't walk on it. He is planning on getting them replaced later in the month, so it will now be up to me to take care of both places, work, go to class all at the same time...

Morning Roger, looks like you'll have your work cut out for you! They are calling for mid-30's here for the rest of the week. Way better than that sub-zero crap!

Definitely! Still trying to get the gas truck to start, I am thinking the fuel pump may have failed. I suspect the rear tank had already failed, and that the front one is now gone too... Just odd that it had worked fine when I parked it, and is not now. I hear the relay kick, but no gas. I spray ether in it, and it fires a bit, then runs out of fuel... such fun.

well i just put pumps and tanks in the 93 the tanks dropped out of the bottom. but i took the box off to disconnect fuel lines. found the brake line was blistered with rust while i was there. ended up spending 600.00 on tanks and pumps and brake lines tanks were shot from straps.
on another note i recieved my t-shirts i ordered middle of December today. they are well made shirts
