Nice and sunny 20ish the fog lifted around noon finally. Ya theres some beauts in the pics, they counted over 200 cars for the Saturday night Pharoahs American Graffiti cruise. There wasn`t as many tire shredding burnouts as last time but the police have been pretty cool and haven`t dropped the hammer on anyone for stunting or anything else.

2020 sure has been a stupid year - found out the other day i've got no brake lights, ran the Fish out to the mechanic, he checked as much as he had time for, gonna have to wait 'til he has time to get up into the darn dash again.
on the plus side, with Thanksgiving and bad weather, wouldn't be driving her much anyway!

Just one of those years, Lyle.

Reg,good to hear that all is good there for you. A little isolation won't hurt you.
I've never been so busy in my life since retiring. I had friends that retired and told me how they couldn't figure out how they couldn't find enough time in a day. And I thought they were NUTS.
Have a good day all.

Retirement time can be a busy time or a slack off time depending on health or other issues.

It stayed fairly high yesterday and hope it is the same today but the prevailing wind is a westerly and that just brings it in. Listening to the scanner last night and I guess someone will have a long face today. Got the Maserati doing 92 in a 50 so thats a very expensive dumbass move by the driver.
Have a great day

If he drives a Maserati he can probably afford the fine and more!!

Here in Ontario, that's called racing even if your the only car on the road. He would have been fined or would have to go to court,(cops discretion) they would have also impounded the car for 7 days as well as an immediate 7 day driving suspension. Courts could hand out a fine up to $10k. Hardly worth it.

Good day guys, nice day here with a high of 21 but cooler for the rest of the week.

Got the Cuda ready to start putting it back together this weekend and will be working on getting out the runs in the clear I have. I have to upload some pics for you.

Good day well summers over officially on the the coast. We had 21 today but the rains are coming and the temps are dropping so thats it shes done. No real plans for the Dart this winter but I think I said that before lol. I do have new Mopar valve covers to go on but they have to be adjusted to fit on the intake manifold so theres a bit of tidly work there to do. If I can find some nice leather I am going to redo the interior but that won`t take too long. I am redoing a gas pump for my own pleasure its not a resto but more of a customization of an old pump. Its an old commercial Wayne fN but I am making it into a B/A pump, my dad had a B/A station so thats the reason for that. My buddy that has the 68 GSS Dart brought by his latest resto and I am excited to get into this one. 1979 Dodge Van 58000 km original k`s too. The Glass is acid etched its really cool really well done and totally the way it was in the good old days.
Have a great rest of the day

take care all

Good morning guys, the temp went down to 2 this morning, the next couple days should be about the same as we have a cold front coming through, today is to be sunny but breezy. Temps should go up a little after Monday.
Have fun eat lots of goodies but try not to over do it!
Have a great weekend.

The 18 was windy and cloudy and felt more like 14.

Good Sunday morning, the day started at 7 but with sun for a change, might see 11 plus but not much more.
Have a nice one.

I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving
Cheers

Good morning. Sunny and cool today. Started off at 4 but we are supposed to go up to 14. Living so close to the lake, I probably won’t see that. More like 10. Maybe I guess it doesn’t matter because I’m the chief cook and bottle washer today. Have a great Thanksgiving all.

by Ragtacker Mon Oct 12, 2020 7:51 am

Good morning 9 and may hit 12 or 13. Rain down here snow up there its fall or maybe we jumped right to winter? Fantastic meal last night ate way too much as usual.
Have a great day

HI everybody, I am the original owner of my 76 D Sport, I am contemplating doing an upgrade on its gauges but am unsure which direction to take...stock or white faced gauges or something else. Money is not abundant. Any help, suggestions or websites appreciated.

If money is not abundant then I would just leave it stock as is.
