    Yup, flooding down in Texas....

    Hope no one here lives in the Austin areas. A friend of mine lives in Kerrville but is on high ground. The Guadeloupe River water level went up more than 26' in less than an hour! My thoughts and prayer go out to the ones that were caught in it. I also find it odd that the area doesn't have an...

    100 bucks in 2000 is now 188!

    One of the reasons I quit taking in rear end jobs is too many wanted to pay 1990 prices!

    Indy 500 anyone?

    I'm recording it....might be interesting with a rookie on the pole and Penske in the back. This is the very first time for the rookie to race on any oval track.

    Favorite moments of going fast with your spouse!

    This was back in the late 70's and my first wife hated going fast especially if I did it quick....or if she was awake lol. My dad lived in Lake Charles and I was still in SE Houston about 150 miles away. One day we started out to LC and she soon fell asleep like she usually did and I upped the...

    Anyone else play Spider Solitaire?

    Think maybe I play to much but usually play when I'm taking a break in the shop or on the phone but sometimes will just sit and play when I'm not feeling like doing anything else. Anyways, usually play single suit and a game that counts each move. Usually end up scoring mid 150's unless I end up...

    I have a tail light that's marked SW in yellow marker like wrecking yards used....and it's definitely different.

    What cars did you buy for 2-300 bucks back in the day?

    Bought a few but one was a 69 Fury 4dr with a 383. The car was pretty solid and ran good but had a good sized dent in the RF fender and the AC didn't work. That was in about 75 and paid 250 for it. My house payment was only 167. About the same time an A66 70 Challenger showed up (who even paid...

    Machining a dual disc clutch in a lathe question....

    Have a guy that needs his setup machined/reconditioned. I've done some flywheel work by surface grinding then 'feathering' out the one way grinding marks that the surface grinder left by hand and they seemed to work pretty good but have never done a dual disc high performance unit before. Seems...

    Are Trico wiper blades still a good brand?

    Behicle in question is a 2022 Colorado. The blades on it are OEM and are getting kinda bad which surprises me since this thing is an outdoor cat.

    Private shooting range with.....

    a .22 Colt Challenger and a .22 bolt action rifle but the best part was a 12ga sawed off shot gun. The wife shot too but needs more instruction. Just glad she hit the target instead of the rear overhead door. It already has 3 holes in it from years ago from some ahole that was told to not rapid...

    A little info on Chevy heads.....yeah, I know.

    Been cleaning up an estate and it had a couple of sets of Chevy heads. One set (14102193) is iron and from what I found on the net was used on 305's to 350's from 87-95 and imo, are more or less just door stops and will throw them on my scape pile. But another set is alloy (12551561) and the net...

    At what age did you start smoking....

    cigs? I took a couple from my mom's purse when I was 10 and dad found out. Dad, if it's so bad, why are you smoking!? And no, I don't smoke and never did except for cigars but even that didn't last long.
