Wrong Acronym. WSCB- Western States Cobra Bash- a west coast Spring Fling, of sorts? (not WCCB- I was thinking, west coast cobra bash)

World, Earl. I'll explain later... heading up to Keith Craft! Yippee!!!

How can we get Tru in this carpool to the fling? hmm. Well, we'll figure it out!

seeya later!!

If, by chance, there is no official fling, lets get together...anyway!

Ron61 · #**1583** (**permalink**) 01-13-2005, 08:37 AM

Tru,

I have no choke on mine and I have never had any real loading problems. My carb looks like the one one on the new add of the home page of the club. No choke tower at all. I just run mine at around 1500 for a few minutes and it idles great. May have to do a little fine tuning later on when the weather gets hot.

PEPE HAS LEFT THE GARAGE!

come back, come back!!

Just a mite chilly this morning, a robust 48*. Took 30 minutes. Hubby was behind me in the Sequoia....
Went to Sears. Out of catalogs.

Got an 800 number to call and get one. Hmm. Saw a nice looking tool stand, and the lowprofile jack. Torque wrench, digital tire pressure gauge, creeper. I will need the exact page/item # for sockets/wrenches, etc. I'll let you know when I get it. Hubby will get the above for me for Christmas! I think I get to pick up the quiklift....
Gotta go. Carpool time (real carpool

)

I would enjoy it even more if we had a Cobra.

Tru- I agree, we could meet in South Central PA

Stirin the pot indeed..........

Ron61 · #**1588** (**permalink**) 01-13-2005, 01:32 PM

Kristen,

Don't forget that when you get sockets to get both the deep ones and the regular ones. Also wouldn't hurt to pick up some Metric wrenches. I don't know about your car, but mine have some darn metric nuts and bolts on them.

Ron

hey,littlecobra · #**1589** (**permalink**) 01-13-2005, 01:41 PM

Funny, Earl! got your pm.... hehe. Mike will never catch me, now! I have the magic power.....
2 sets of sockets. Gary doesn't believe there is anything metric on the car. I'll take him to Sears with me, if he can go. Hubby & I had an "entertaining" time there. He asked what a "torque" wrench is for. I scared him a little when I acted like I liked the $2450 tool chest. Some more Christmas!! Tried out the jack. Easy enough, and can go in the trailer.
Turned out to be a pretty day. Still a bit chilly, but not as much as this morning! And, the wind has laid low a bit.

Gotta go. Basketball calls.....

Ron61 · #**1590** (**permalink**) 01-13-2005, 01:55 PM

Good move acting like you liked the $2450 dollar tool chest. Now he will be relieved when you just get the $1800 dollar one. Did you have to read the instructions to try out the jack?

Ron

LwCwb · #**1591** (**permalink**) 01-13-2005, 02:26 PM

Kristen, I believe you looked at the same tool chest I want to get for VoTech (Hopefully I'll get in.) Is it the Huge black "Craftsman Professional" box?

hey,littlecobra · #**1592** (**permalink**) 01-13-2005, 03:49 PM

yup, Mike that's it! But.... I don't think I'll end up with that. I'm not really WORKING on the car, just kinda piddling. So, I'm gonna get a smaller chest, that will just hold basic tools. I do like the ones with the power strip. We'll see, we'll see. The garage looks so empty! Even with that big ugly Yukon xl. I can sweep up the cobra side, dust the shelves, and tidy up a bit. It'd be good to get the tools, lift and such before the car comes back, then I'd have time to get it all sorted.
The Christmas decorating yard dude is here taking up the lights in the yard, after the monsoon we had yesterday! Bout time....
I have declined the bb games, due to needing to pack up my stuff for tomorrow! hubby went. Little cobra girls are home, too. Littlest cobra girl crashed on her new bike a little while ago. Guess she learned about centrifugal force.... going to fast around a downhill curve. Ouch!!! Bruised her cheek and nose! Nothing permanent; nothing scraped. Red tho', and hurts.

At least the hoodlums are fed, and I can get my stuff done. bigger cobra girl is practicing piano. Her first year, and doing great. Old macdonald 800 times....
Hey, is it true the "hey little cobra" Cobra is coming up on auction? Dontcha think it should be mine? Like, ya know, karma, it has my name on it and everything! 1.5 mil? Sugah daddy would certainly think that was a fair price, dontcha think?? !!!
I'd really owe him for that one. $40K a year teaching. 1.5 M/40K. Ok, math people, how many years teaching is that?
Sell Pepe. Sell the house. Sell the moody first born. hmm. getting there. sell the farm. sell all those silly cows.
I think "a-snake" has convinced me his isn't for sale. He got it in '86!!
more later...

hey,littlecobra · #**1593** (**permalink**) 01-13-2005, 03:53 PM

no, ron, figured out the jack. I liked it... Didn't buy anything today, just looked it over.
The sales guy was pretty cool. He kept looking at hubby like shouldn't he be the one checking things out, asking questions, but hubby just went along, and neither one of us volunteered any info! It was funny!

Ron61 · #**1594** (**permalink**) 01-14-2005, 04:31 AM

Kristen,

The tool sales people out here are are used to women buying tools so they don't even bat an eye. After all, someone has to keep the family cars going. And we do have some very knowledgable women abut engines and cars. I think it is great and wish more would get into it.
As for the (Hey Lil Cobra), Cobra, just take some of your mad money and offer them so much they can't bear to turn it down. You could probably get it for 1.75 Mil. and avoid the auction.

Ron

trularin · #**1595** (**permalink**) 01-14-2005, 10:14 AM

She's like a little kid in a candy store. Lord help us.

13 this morning, actually 12.8, but who care about the .2. Had to put on a coat, if you can imagine.

Snow has been falling off and on, who know what will happen next. If yellow cats fell from the sky, I would not be surprised.

Guys and Gals, I think we are going to just drive to London and see what going on for the fling. You all are coming from the west and can snake ( pun intended ) your way to Ohio. All I have to do is drive south for four hours or less.

Ron61 · #**1596** (**permalink**) 01-14-2005, 10:26 AM

Tru,

Kristen is really getting into the car thing. Didn't she post on the garage post that she has one wall of her garage covered with a photograph of HER. As for the tools, she may have to spend a year in NASCAR university to learn how to use all of them.
I see your weather is about as weird as ours. Two fair days and now cold, and rain again. It is either going to snow here or not is what the forecast on TV said. It is 13 and you put on a coat. It is 37 here and everyone is bundled up griping about the cold. A friend of mine in Texas e-mailed me that it was 11 degrees there where he lives. I can't wait until Miami, Florida gets a foot of snow.

ron

trularin · #**1597** (**permalink**) 01-14-2005, 11:09 AM

If Miami gets a foot, I know we would be in real trouble.

As big as her garage is, that picture must be...large.

What is with the tools, I haven't figured it out yet. Just a place to spend money? Hey! Send me some, I can use it.

There is some saying that people in Michigan only wear a coat when it is cold outside...-20 or better. I put on on at 13.

Dang Ron, where is wide world of sports are we gonna retire at if it is snowing in FL?????? I don't speak spanish. I guess we could just hang at Dayton.

Well, hey, I suppose it will be somehting different on the way home. snowed like no tomorrow on the way in to work, way home will probably be yellow cats.

Ron61 · #**1598** (**permalink**) 01-14-2005, 11:36 AM

Tru,

With all the Global warming, I think maybe the Artic would be great to retire to as the ice will be gone and there will be nice weather there.

Kristen wants tools so she can work on her car. Thats why it is at the transmission shop now.

Just what were you trying to say about Kristen's picture?

I thought she said it was life size.

Ron

Edley Rondinone · #**1599** (**permalink**) 01-14-2005, 12:20 PM

In the third post on this page, Kristen said she was gonna get "A Smaller Chest" !!! No, no, no, Kristen, we want you to get a BIGGER CHEST!!! lol !!! (hey, big BOOBra, and all!!!)

Ron61 · #**1600** (**permalink**) 01-14-2005, 12:40 PM

Edley,

How much did you donate to the Improve Kristen Fund?
