Mike, the school project is for -me-. I am sooo tired of buying school uniforms for my kids. adds up; x 4. So, I had this brilliant idea to do a 'resale' shop. If you have the idea, you have the project, at our school. So, the plan is, people donate gently worn or outgrown uniform pieces to the school. Get a tax receipt for their donation. Then, I 'run' a resale shop for the uniforms at deeply discounted prices. Everybody wins. Donate, get tax receipt, school gets the money for reselling, and people get uniforms that fit their kids at cheap prices. The big sale is March 23, 24. 8-5. Guess who gets to do all the work???

I don't mind. I'm a project kinda gal. I've been doing projects for 20 years! (or more, I guess)

Ron. glad you're feeling fit enough to go do yard work. The mowing looks nice and crisp! good boy!

monitoring: homework, piano. then off to BASEBALL. yuck. basketball and soccer aren't quite done....

Well, there's that alien ship again.

Kristen, Am I going to see you in London or not????????????

Hockey tonight, could be the last game.

Mike, you are really making me wonder. Got a lot of time on your hands...eh?

Found a gas station selling 100 octane. I just about fell off the back of the truck.

Well, G2G, again.

hey,littlecobra · #5 (**permalink**) 02-24-2005, 03:09 PM

no, Mike, that was 2 weekends ago!

Trularin. hmm. Just don't know. IF I GO.... it'll be London. probably. riding the fence.... I'm pretty put out with all the arguing, and sorry to see the mess it's in. I guess I'm like a lot of folks, that wish the real DVSF was still in London. Takes out a lot of the fun. Plus, if I go 'by myself' it'll be 18 + hours. That's a looonnnggg way for a little ole lady from Tejas!!!

I was corrected, that is some weird air conditioner unit. My first thought if you remember was a composter!

Some people even knew the model number. Too much time on their hands, for sure.
GR. are you going to cleveland or london?
hey, we could 'swap' cars at the meet! wow! way cool.

Winkleman's 289 was, uh, an original.

bless his heart, he just had to have a 427. Some people have all the fun. or money.

gotta go!

G.R. · #6 (**permalink**) 02-24-2005, 08:23 PM

Going to neither right now and If I did it would be London but I'd fly-in

hey,littlecobra · #7 (**permalink**) 02-24-2005, 08:30 PM

now it seems to me that just a few pages back you said you were going..... maybe I'm dreaming it.... To be honest, I don't really know if I'M going!!! A lot of work, trouble, time and $$ to get it all together. Not to mention leaving my kids with my darling hubby, who cain't do nuttin right!!!! (I'll be kind and not tell you about the 'training wheel' accident we had the other day.... he just doesn't 'see' how it's done....

)

Good morning all....another fine day here in Daytona (besides the rain) but, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, we don't have anything rain wise compared to the poor folks in CA. and thank gooness no S _ _ _..........(Mikie, I spelled it out so as not to jinx you).

0630 and no planes in the air yet....looks like its gonna be another slowwwwwwww day..............lots of surfin the net I guess................

Ron61 · #9 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 05:01 AM

Morning all. No yard work today as I overdid it the past two days and my nerves are shot. No rest, just nightmares all night and that is a sure sign that if I don't take a day off I will be going to the doctor. The heat is just much harder on my nerves than the cold. And getting old isn't helping either.

Earl,

Sounds as if you have a lesurely day ahead of you. Mike has cold and SNOW ahead of him. See, I spelled it out But I would take the snow right not to improve over what I am going through.

Kristen,

Quit taking on so many projects. It is almost Summer and you are going to need time to play. What is the latest word on Pepe?

Ron

hey,littlecobra · #10 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 09:41 AM

I'M OUTTA HERE!!!!!!

PEPE IS READY TO COME HOME!!!!

Just got the call a little while ago... bumming a ride from my good friend (for like the 3rd time!) to go get him. I better have a speedo, working, all's I gotta say! I'll letcha know how fast I go on the 'dreaded high 5'.

Ron61 · #11 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 12:04 PM

Kristen,

Great news. Let us know how you like the new automatic transmission.

Hope that your weather is nice for the drive home.

Ron

Kristen, if you haven't left yet, I need a favor...

I am not on K-Craft M-sports, Plano's, Top 10 list.

Apparently you are.

Back in the fall of '04 Gunrack, BDR #139 went in for some repairs (my bad, maybe) and Rob redynoed and rejetted and came up with 315 RWHP.

I was told.

For right at $11 Large... I would would dearly love to take possession of the dyno sheets.

You seem to be a dynamic and charismatic person with influence over the crew of this most excellent engine shop.

If you can make the time would you ask them nicely where the dyno sheets might be?

Then ask them to give them to YOU cause they won't talk to ME.

Yeah, I'm suckin' up to you as hard as I know how.

Thanks, Kristen.

UT

Braggin' rights, ya know.

LwCwb · #13 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 01:50 PM

Theres something StRaNgE happening in your back yard...

Ron61 · #14 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 02:01 PM

Mike,

That isn't strange for here. He could walk down the street and no one would even notice him.

Now if he would just mow the lawn for me, that would get some attention.

Ron

hey,littlecobra · #15 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 04:40 PM

SORRY, UT!!! LEFT BEFORE I SAW YOUR POST!!

I was pretty much at the mercy of my chauffeur. Sorry! I would have asked for and gotten the dyno's.... (well who knows) but I will definitely ask for them NEXT TIME I'm at KC. which, of course I hope is NEVER because it kinda drains the check book just a wee little bit (cough cough).....
but, as I read over the instruction sheet for the toploader, it says I have to have some grease thing (gear lube) changed between 500-1000 miles and since we don't work on the car, we must take car back to KC.... hmmmm. isn't that what my quiklift, tools, etc. are supposed to make me be able to do???? course I don't have them yet, but sometime.... ok, anyway, looks like I'll be back in Plano at SOMETIME and I'll try to get your dynos at that time..... Don't need to be reminded; I have a memory like a steel trap... ask my hubby and kids.....

So. top speed today, 71 on the dreaded hi-5, LBJ interchange, etc. Speedo worked the whole way! That interchange is where it has stopped working BOTH times I've had it fixed.... Drove like a champ..... yehaw! glad he's back.... now just a bit dirty, or dusty..... clean em up tomorrow..... gotta get my new tires ordered, asap. maybe new sidepipes, but not in a big hurry for that..... Austin is coming up quick!! (remember, I have to have it loaded in the trailer before I even leave for Florida!! yikes!!!)

gotta go. My hair is wild. good thing.....

LwCwb · #16 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 06:03 PM

Ron, you've changed...

Not me . I like what the town of London has contributed to this "community" for 4 years. Moving the Fling to another local, (lets just say there are issues with the Fling per se and leave it there) is wrong in my book, I'd support the London cruise.But due to time constraints this coming summer there would be no way I could drive there(I don't have a trailer and am not about to ship the car anyway) I'd only go if I flew in.

CG glad you got "Pepe" back in one piece and he is working just fine. Tell hubby he "has the kids for the weekend, entertain them , keep them away from me!" Then clean the "lil mule" up.

PS you have seen "Romancing the Stone" haven't you. The name for a car "Pepe" always reminds me of the drug dealer's "lil mule" his hopped up Bronco

hey,littlecobra · #19 (**permalink**) 02-25-2005, 09:41 PM

hi, there, G. yeah, I've seen R the S., but it's been awhile. might just have to rent it!! I can't believe I'm gonna have to go back a few pages to see who I THOUGHT posted that. hmmmm.

Ron61 · #20 (**permalink**) 02-26-2005, 04:52 AM

Kristen,

Happy to hear that Pepe is happily back home and everything is working well. And yes, you can change the fluid in the transmission. Just ask them what kind they used. No harder on mine than changing the motor oil, but I buy the larger bottle that has a pump in it. Just drain the old, then put the hose in the fill plug and pump until it just starts to seep out. On a level place of course. Also I check the level of the gear oil in the rear end, but not every time I drive it. A posi traction unit requires different gear oil than an open rear end so ask them what kind they used. I try to stay with whatever the people who built something for me used. Havea great day. I am going back to bed soon.

Mike,
Well, I see that you are starting to play with your photography program. Not to bad for a kid that is to young to drive.

Ron
