Been fighting a cold and bronchitis for 6 weeks now myself. I think I need to go to Arizona for the winters to get the hell away from all the rain. Go drive your car Reg.

Got hit hard here on Friday, lost 4 mature trees, the pine in the front yard snapped about 8 feet of the ground. Tree was not rotten. The three in the back yard Allaire the root ball out. Some damage to the house but not to serious. hydro showed up this morning to remove our tree from the power line.

That was quite a storm saw it on the news and #1 son lives in Richmond Hill so got a blow by blow from there too.

we were heading from London north to Owen Sound Friday afternoon - trees and poles down, saw a travel trailer torn off the pickup truck towing it and flipped upside down in the ditch - tore the whole fifth-wheel mount out of the bed of the truck! Truck stayed upright, no injuries.

Yikes!
Good morning 10 clear and warm for today maybe low 20`s. Had the Dart out for a rip yesterday, ran pretty good need to address a bit of hesitation maybe the carb just needs a tweak.
Have a great day

Lots of ( I'd guess thousands ) of roofs missing shingles up around here, siding too. Lots of trees down also. We made out ok, just a downspout to reattach.

by mikes mopar Tue May 08, 2018 9:14 am

that's a lot of bling to keep clean

by Ragtacker Tue May 08, 2018 5:49 pm

Actually its surprising how clean it stays. I haven`t cleaned or waxed much under there yet this year. Its alot of shine and lots of folks like it lots walk by shaking their heads lol. My buddy in the car club calls me the crow because of all the chrome and my other bud with the sister car to this car calls me Hollywood lol. Its all good I love the look and if I hadn`t been a dumb ass I would have had a chrome cap for the wiper motor.

HI I'm back, my daughter is married and all went as planned. Had bright beautiful sunshine every day except for a short while in the bus on our way to the airport.

HEY REG: New stainless fuel line; about that beautiful fuel line: I would change 1 thing for your safety. Those plastic fuel filters like the one you have do not have a good safety record I suggest replacing it with a metal one, all it takes is one overheating engine and KABOOM, I had a plastic one too until somebody told me what the result could be, so now it is just collecting dust on the shelf like too many other car parts.

Got back yesterday evening around supper time, had gotten up real early and went to bed early was dead tired. ''My skin is now a little darker than it was''.

by Ragtacker Sat May 12, 2018 6:17 am

Good morning 8 clear and going to be hot. Brother is here and we are going up to moms to pack up to old mans coins and paper money and send to auction. It will be good to get this done and over with. Took the Dart out to the airport to get him yesterday and stopped for fuel 1.70 for the good stuff right now. Was talking to an Aussie on holidays at the pumps turns out he is a car guy too. Thanks for the heads up JG and welcome back.
Have a great day

by JGL Sat May 12, 2018 3:20 pm

Good morning but it is past 7:00 PM, weird how the price of gas is not even across Canada, the poor provinces (like us) don't pay that much for gas as we can't afford it...most of the time. What is your highest octane Reg, 91 or 93? We only have 87,89 and 91.

by Ragtacker Sun May 13, 2018 7:20 am

Good morning 12 already. Been up since 3 had to put my brother on a plane so he can get home by 8 tonight. 20 grand worth of paper money and coins off to auction thank goodness thats done. JG I put 91 in my car but not sure what Chevron has(think its 94) but most of the guys go there. Did mothers day yesterday so its a free day so that means working on the Dart day.
Have a great day

by JGL Sun May 13, 2018 8:45 am

Good late morning, ''Did mothers day yesterday so its a free day so that means working on the Dart day''. Good planning Reg, it is kind of important not to forget either one of the moms ...if your lucky enough to still have both. Weather wise it is a beautiful sunny day with a temp of 16 and going to 18-20...calling for 24 for Tuesday. Now that I'm back it's time to get the lawn tractor out and snow blower put away.
Help with the Dart's brakes coming sometime this week.
Have a wonderfully great mom's day.

by JGL Mon May 14, 2018 2:24 pm

Looks like I forgot Good Morning, had a fairly busy day in the garage with not a whole lot of success. Temperatures went from 8 this morning to 22 or so this afternoon with sun.
Have a great rest of your day.

by mikes mopar Tue May 15, 2018 6:21 am

Rain, wont get much warmer than 18. continues to be cloudy all week.

by JGL Tue May 15, 2018 6:52 am

Good morning, mostly sunny so far but showers are in the picture for later in the day, already 17 and heading towards 22 region at the airport so probably 24+ here.
Have a great day.

by JGL Wed May 16, 2018 5:42 am

Good morning again, looks like Reg is busy or something. The weather predictions for this week look pretty good, high teens next seven days except Friday...not bad.
Trying to paint the front grill on my lawn tractor...take some scratches out.
Have a good, good day Mopar fans.
