Re: Good Morning Thread

Good morning 10 with hammering down rain and a pretty strong wind so the rain is mostly sideways. Like Cookie said JG I am into mine for alot so if funds are limited stay with what you have.
Have a great day

Good afternoon, sunny and fairly mild today.
JG, I go along with Cookie and Reg, if funds are an issue then probably stay with original. Maybe pull the cluster take it apart and give it a real good cleaning. Before putting it back in change the dash bulbs to LED Bulbs ( not the oil, brake, signal light bulbs and other related type bulbs. Test the dash lights before installing the cluster because the bulbs will only work one way in the socket. I did this to my car and you wouldn’t believe the difference.

Just saw a whole set of Autometer gauges on "For A-bodies only" for about $200 - that's what I used and I love them

I agree Lyle, the S&W are nowhere near what they used to be I went with Autometer and I have to say that gps speedo is pretty slick

I've got the cable-less Speedo (not the GPS) and I really like it - can switch back and forth between MPH and KPH relatively easily too - laid the gauges out in the same pattern as my Journey so it doesn't get confusing

That's going to get expensive really quick. With the exchange rate, plus as soon as he finds out that you're in Canada, the shipping will not likely be included. And then JG. will have to buy a new gauge bezel.

Good morning 4 with a bit of wind and rain coming tomorrow so they say. Its cooling down pretty quick here quicker than past years. I suspect Kieth may have the snow shovel out and ready for action already.
Have a great day

by jgl360 Thu Oct 15, 2020 7:27 am

Good morning, sunny today for a change, might even get some outside work done or something. We are supposed to see temps of 18-20 for the next couple days.
Have a great day people and follow the covid guidelines.

by jgl360 Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:33 am

going to 20+ today...changed my plan on the Dart's cluster-surprise, a lot more expensive than it used to be.

by **Keith Mopar** Fri Oct 16, 2020 10:01 am

Good morning all. It's cool here today, only 0 out and is only going to 5. JG I wish it was 20 out.

Will be working on the Cuda this afternoon and hopefully on Saturday trying to get all the pieces together to start putting it back together.

TGIF, and have a great day!

Good morning 15 should hit 19.

Got back from the island earlier and weather is not too bad. Stopped at the foot doc to get a second round of injections in my right foot and
holy shite! I just about shot out of the chair this time around. Plantar fasciitis sucks. Well, I have to go for dinner with the wifey for our 21st

by Ragtacker Fri Oct 16, 2020 6:36 pm

Cookie my sister inlaw got me some socks that really helped me I can find out where if you want. Shes a RCA and all the girls wear them

by Cookie-Monster Fri Oct 16, 2020 9:35 pm

Thanks Reg, at this point I am ready to try anything. I have one more round of shots in two weeks and from there I have the option of acupuncture and/or
wearing a special made brace for a min of 6 weeks and would have to be off work for that 6 weeks. Told the doc that ain't going to happen.

by jgl360 Sat Oct 17, 2020 3:11 pm

hello, the day started off sunny but that did not last. Just before noon the rain started slowly, then after we had finished our errands and were home, it started pouring and later the wind picked up too.

by Cookie-Monster Sat Oct 17, 2020 6:17 pm

Mostly dry here today around the home stead. Idiots demonstrating on a ferry today because they think they should not have to wear masks as mandated, caused a big commotion and the idiots were apparently badgering and belittling people that were wearing the masks. Apparently they had to stop/cancel the ferry. They should have been thrown overboard..... BASTARDS!!!

by Ragtacker Mon Oct 19, 2020 7:26 am

Good morning 11 it may get to 14 ish today. Its cooling down and may get !@#$#%%^% snow by the weekend.
Have a great day

Unfortunately its that time of year again...although it is kind of early, usually another month about for us.

by Ragtacker Mon Oct 19, 2020 5:15 pm

Usually every 2 or 3 years for us and maybe in the New Year never this early

by Ragtacker Tue Oct 20, 2020 6:18 am

Good morning 4 may get a bit of sun and cloud today.
Have a great day

by **Keith Mopar** Tue Oct 20, 2020 9:04 am

Good morning guys, Yea we had snow over night and is a high of 4 so it will be gone and slushy.

Got the car buffed and will be putting it all backed together in the next while. I have a huge list of parts I'll be ordering so I'm in save mode for a bit.

Have a great day!!!

by **smoken340** Tue Oct 20, 2020 10:51 am

Good afternoon, Cool and cloudy. We will reach 13 today, but they are calling for 21 by Friday.
Keith, I love the colour. She looks good.

by Ragtacker Wed Oct 21, 2020 6:45 pm

Good day, think we hit 12 or so but there's some ugly in the sky today, big black ugly clouds. We will not get double digit highs for awhile now and in the minuses at night brrr. Looks like snow is coming maybe not Victoria but all around us. Hope theres good baseball and golf and college football and maybe tiddly winks because nothings going to be happening outside this weekend.
Have a great rest of the day
