Good sunny morning, 5 when I woke, 14 now high of around 20 for today. Back to the garage then back in town for to get new brake lines made.
Have a great day.

Good evening 24 was the high today. The warm spring weather seems to have finally gotten a foothold thankfully. Mopar only show this Sunday so hope it lasts for that, its a 2 hour drive from here so no rain is much appreciated lol. Got the new lower driver door hinge painted and installed, what a difference!
Have a great evening

Well Reg your weather is not a whole lot better than ours...except in the morning. (for yesterday).

Good day, sun then cloudy and finally rain. PS Finally bought bought a new brake Master cylinder.
Have a great day!

Good evening a little cooler today at least until late afternoon but warmed up alot in the afternoon. We are basically cut off from the world today. A fuel truck is on its side on the #1 no way around it the highway is shut down until 4AM Friday and of course this section is 2 lanes through a provincial park along side a critical salmon bearing river. The circle route (which adds 2 hours or more on a good day)which is a fancy name for logging road is shut down because a motorhome is on its side probably trying to get up island and taking an unfamiliar dirt road instead of popping a top and relaxing. Its pitiful what we put up with on that highway, I hate driving it but will have to on Sunday to go to the Mopar show. Its even more fun towing a 41 foot fifth wheel and every turd on the road is doing thier impression of Mario Andretti.
Rant over have a good whats left of your evening

by mikes mopar Fri May 25, 2018 5:07 am

already 21 going to a high of 31. Calling for rain Sunday hope they are wrong, have Mississauga Mopar spring fling to go to.

by Ragtacker Fri May 25, 2018 5:53 am

Good morning 10 should top out around 24 ish. Ya Mike they were saying the same thing here but now the forecast is changing to the better for our Mopar show so hope the same happens out your way. The only thing thats almost a guarantee this weekend is wind, its the Swiftsure sailboat race and usually but not always we get some strong westerly winds. The years theres no wind it kinda funny to watch 200 sailboats trying to catch the tide to get them moving. JG hows the brakes coming along?
Have a great day

GOOD day, well Reg looks like this luck is following me, the master cylinder I bought happened to be NO DAMN GOOD ''I would say more but what is the use'', it had probably been sitting on a shelf for a few years, I returned it yesterday and got my money back. Today I ordered a new one from NAPA, hope this one will turn out ok should get it wed.or thursday. I by-passed the proportioning valve which has been playing tricks on me for way too long, finished all the connections and hope nothing leaks.
Cloudy and showers this morning and 10 or so, got up to 25 with Mr. sun popping out for the last 2-3 hours. May as well start waxing the car since I'm waiting anyway.
have a great rest of the day!

by JGL Sat May 26, 2018 5:44 am

Good morning, made it here this morning, got up to clouds, might see some sun before noon. Took the day off from the Dart today, I have to wait for a part anyway. Takes a day off once in a while. I might start waxing tomorrow, I can only do 3/4 of the car anyway since there is still work to do under the hood.
Have a great day and cruise on.

by Ragtacker Sat May 26, 2018 5:51 am

Good morning 9 and sunny. Cooled off yesterday in the afternoon with the sea breeze and may be the same today. It is detail Saturday to get ready for the show tomorrow
Have a great day

by JGL Sat May 26, 2018 8:47 am

Detailing days are yet to come.

by JGL Sun May 27, 2018 2:14 pm

Got up to 24 for a high today.

by Ragtacker Sun May 27, 2018 5:51 pm

Same here JG. Good Mopar show for this little Island, 140 really really nice Mopars. This is only the 3 one so its building every year. Made some friends met up with a very special lady for the first time in almost 20 years got some work and bought a sure grip not a bad flippin day I`ll say

by mikes mopar Mon May 28, 2018 5:03 am

Going up to 32 today, humidex of 39. Cleaned and waxed the Dart on Saturday and went to Mopar spring fling on Sunday.

by JGL Mon May 28, 2018 1:27 pm

Well hello everybody, the day started partly sunny and at 7 but made it's way to 25 and sunny!
''140 really really nice Mopars'' that is a great way to start off the season.
Errands 3/4 of the day...well over 1/2 anyway.
Have a great rest of your day.

by Ragtacker Mon May 28, 2018 8:00 pm

Good evening windy as hell but warm. Ya JG it was a good show considering its a new one. The fellow I got the suregrip brought it by today, classy move it was an hour drive one way for him. Going to get a mechanical guage for the temp this damn electric one is driving me crazy.

by JGL Tue May 29, 2018 5:07 am

Good morning, we have a cloudy day this morning at 13, should partly clear in a few hours and get some sun later with a high of 20.
I have a crazy gauge too but I'm too cheap to buy a new one, I know it's 60* off so i just subtract 60 all the time. Some day though! At least it was 60 off last year.
Have a great day all.

by Ragtacker Tue May 29, 2018 5:51 am

Good morning 9 clear no wind should be a good day yet again. JG I have done some reading and most new electric guages are fairly accurate up to 180 then all bets are off. I have to call Eddy today because the mechanical gauge I bought would not fit so need them to tell me if theres a specific fitment recomendation or just cobble together a bunch of fittings. First oil change today or tomorrow so will run a magnet through the oil and hopefully wind up with just an oily magnet.
Have a great day

by mikes mopar Tue May 29, 2018 7:57 am

Another warm one. high of 30. need a sweating emo gee.

Reg you should have oily fingers too unless you have it done. Exclamation

Let us know of the results.

by Ragtacker Tue May 29, 2018 4:44 pm

JG my fingers are so bloddy oily from gear oil, engine oil, you name it I don`t know if I would even notice anymore Very Happy

. Now the push is on for the biggie in Penticton on the 23rd. I still have a few issues to get resolved and fingers crossed my new hood with dual functional scoops will be painted before we leave.

by mikes mopar Wed May 30, 2018 5:31 am

woke up it was 20 going up to 30, 35 with humid-ex. Had to sell the Dart, economics suck.

by Ragtacker Wed May 30, 2018 5:51 am

Good morning only 6 this AM wth is with that? Its clear but the marine air has moved in so we will cool off a wee bit for the next few days. Mike that just damn well sucks sorry to hear that.
Have a great day
