Damn i hate going back from a night shift. I feel like crap. Ate pizza too for supper so looks like that is off the menu. going to be veggies from here on in i can see. Going to be plus 20 today, getting summer tires put back on the subaru, then change some control wiring for work, then home by noon to goof off.

Good late morning, yesterday was a waxing and errand day so I got half my car done and today it was errands again and the other half. This is the first year I actually wax it, before all it would get was Showtime which is now known as instant detailing but still by Mothers. Using Carnuba wax by Mothers which I got as grab bag sponsor item at car shows.
Weather wise we got a whole lot of rain last night, clouds this morning and now some on off sun, with temps heading for something higher than 15 which we have right now.
Have a great day everyone!

Good day all, rain and snow mix this morning, but lots of sun and plus 5 now. Should hit 12 tomorrow with sun. I hope they are right because I have more properties to look at tomorrow.

by JGL Sat Apr 08, 2017 7:00 am

Good morning, cleaning and waxing 2 tires and wheels today, 4 and cloudy so far today, partly cloudy Sun., Mon., Tue., no minus for the next week yet...hope we are done with them.
Have a great day.

Good morning 6 and showers all day. Bout got blown off the rock yesterday man it was blowing, a small gulf island just to the south east hit 102km so safe to say the ferries were shut down. My daughter and family were on an early morning ferry the one before they shut it down and she said very very uncomfy. Got the car back from the transmission shop, s--- can`t catch a break. He sent me a pic and I thought I was looking at a gold pan from the Yukon nope thats your trans pan Reg. So on the hunt for a 727 core or better and I will take the shift kit out of this one. The positive side is this 68 Dart is virtually a new car when the trans is done. Picked up a complete set of trim for a 68 270 yesterday including grill and bezels, rear tailights etc. all in very good shape so that eases the trans pain a bit. 270 trim is rare at best in this condition so what I don`t use I will keep. Anywho thats my life the last few days now to track down that damn electrical ground gremlin.
Have a great day

hot sunny windy like a bitch today. lol early morning off to work just got home going to relax. On holidays now. but wanted 7 hours overtime.

by Ragtacker Sat Apr 08, 2017 7:27 pm

This ain`t good

by Grumpy427 Sat Apr 08, 2017 8:29 pm

Nope thats time for a rebuild.

by JGL Sun Apr 09, 2017 5:54 am

Good morning, already 5 at 9:00 o'clock, we just might see another partly sunny day. Partly sunny all week except Wednesday and Thursday (rain) and a high of up to 21 on Tuesday...so we`ll see if their close to being right or not. Spring clean up on the Dart Sport is coming along fine.
Have a great day all.

by Ragtacker Sun Apr 09, 2017 6:35 am

Good morning 2 but clear. Should see the sun today for a bit anyway. Ya Grumpy thats a rebuild but not by me, I am going to get a 727 and build that. There may be a stroker in my future so might as well get the right stuff now then its just a motor swap. Got to get the storage locker I bought emptied out and product sold this week plus camping this weekend busy busy busy. Dan hows the land search? JG 21? Huh thats summer temps you guys skipped spring?
Have a great day and hell the Leafs are in its a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!

by JGL Sun Apr 09, 2017 9:06 am

Yeah Reg 21, winter has been over for a while now but not in Newfy country yet. Reg what trans do you have now? If it's a 904 I would rebuild that and have it done so it will take 500 HP but if you have a 727 already you will have to do the same thing and then have your driveshaft cut to fit. 727 would be more expensive but it is your choice.

by **smoken340** Sun Apr 09, 2017 6:07 pm

Good evening guys, real decent weekend, weather wise.
Reg, the property search really sucks. Haven't seen anything that I liked, except one place, but the conservation authority, won't allow building on it. The good thing is that I'm not in a rush.

by Ragtacker Sun Apr 09, 2017 9:31 pm

JG thanks for the advice but at this point I am going to go with the 727 based on my future plans and the advice of my trans mechanic. Funny eh I just had the shaft cut for the 8 3/4 .....sheesh.
Dan as you know your position is the best sit and wait till it comes your way

by JGL Mon Apr 10, 2017 5:46 am

Good morning everybody, about 4 at this time with lots of clouds but with the hope of seeing something yellow later with a predicted high of 7-10. Kind of a bit cool when walking with the breeze in your face. Errands today and garage tomorrow.
Haven't heard of Keith for a while, is he gone somewhere?
Have a great day all.

by Ragtacker Mon Apr 10, 2017 5:49 am

Good morning 6 and expecting showers today but sun for tomorrow so they say. JG you just about ready for some cruising?
Have a great day

Just about...only about 2-4 more weeks, the crazies will be out sooner, but we'll see what the weather says!!

by JGL Mon Apr 10, 2017 11:26 am

Would believe 16 at 3:30, darn thing is that there is no sun yet today.

by **smoken340** Mon Apr 10, 2017 12:47 pm

Good day all. What a beautiful day today. 24 and sunny, they are calling for rain a little later today. Reg you are right all I have to do is sit and wait, sooner or later the right property will come up. Enjoy the rest of your day all.

by JGL Mon Apr 10, 2017 4:09 pm

24 and sunny...I wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We at least made it up to 16.

Reg, that stuff in the pan looks like sand ?

by JGL Mon Apr 10, 2017 6:57 pm

At least the fluid is clean.

by **smoken340** Tue Apr 11, 2017 4:46 am

Good morning all, we have another great start to the day 15 and sunny now going up to 22. Just going to enjoy the day sitting and relaxing outside. Quite a few classic cars out and about already. Seen a beautiful FC7 Duster yesterday. YIPEEE, It's the beginning of cruising season in southern Ontario.
Have a great day all.
