With a stake through his heart. No wonder he snaps at you when you get close. At least Frenchy kisses Fred.

Ron

[trularin]

I don't think Frenchy is wood.

I think I know why they get $1000 to put a water pump in PT Cruiser. What a piece. Did half last night, will finish it today.

Need to prep the green tractor for summer.

[392cobra]

Tru,
Just saw the lastest forecast for your area.Looks like about 70 and sunny.
Has the drive dried out yet ?

[trularin]

It's not the driveway, it's the time I have avaialble. I am about ( in the next few mintues ) to embark on part two of the "PT Cruiser water pump adventure" in living color.

Where else can a person avoid $1000. by putting in a $40. water pump on his own versus having a dealership do it.

Then I am going to try to pick up the 390 I purchased. I am going to try for a 410.

Fred, How's things at your corner of the country???? I know Ron has to wait to within a few hours of the weather before he can do anything outside.

And Warren seems to be out and about doing the flower thingy. Kristen is flat out too busy. I am not sure what everyone else is doing. I think Roscoe is working on a cook book.

[Ron61]

Tru,

It is raining here today but not hard as they said it would. And it did wait until after 8 AM to start, so they would have all of the cars at the big show parked on the grass by then. As for your savings on the water pump, if you charged yourself the same labor as the dealer does, just how much would you save?

What are you going to put the 390 in and why do you want a 410? Not many of those left around here. There used to be two in some older Thunderbirds but they have long since vanished.

Ron

[trularin]

If all goes well, I can see an interest in another car emerging.

Since I can get the 390 for a good price, I suppose I might want to "play" a bit with a punched out FE block with a 3.78 inch stroke and 4.13 bore.

You never can tell. Maybe I'll put this in the cobra and take the Cleveland engine out.

[Ron61]

What, you would put an FE engine in a Ferrari?

Ron

[Ron61]

Took me about 10 seconds.

Ron, you thief. I posted the same thing about 2 years ago.

[Ron61]

Warren, I can only read, not remember. Speaking of which, how did you remember something form 2 years ago?

Ron

[trularin]

They have that medicine now. You take it in the morning and you are okay, but by the end of the day, you can't remember your name.

I don't remember the name of it.



Well, I now have two FEs. Need to do a little figurin to see what I am gonna do.

[Ron61]

Tru,

Talk to Brent. He could use one. Talk about having lousy luck with engines.


Ron

[wtm442]

My short term memory is great. But my older sister is unbelievable. I can remember maybe 6 teachers from high school. My sister can remember all of the teachers from all years, even kindegarten.

My leg is really acting up. Got a doctor appt tomorrow to find out if they are going to call me Chester for the rest of my life.

Ads are over - back to watch the end of the Bands of Brothers - about the 4th time I've seen the series.

[flipper35]

The house finally sold.

[Ron61]

Brent,

That is great. One more thing that you don't have on your mind now. Of course if your were like Warren it wouldn't be there for more than a few minutes at most.
Hope all is going great with your job and family. Post more often when you have a chance and post some pictures of that growing girl.

Ron

[wtm442]

Hey Tru
Its 85°F outside and sunny. Why don't you drive your Cobra over to my house and get out of the thunderstorms you are having today!
Supposed to be 71°F tomorrow and 58°F the day after. Then more rain You mentioned that "Maybe I'll put this (390) in the cobra and take the Cleveland engine out". Why not put them both IN, and then you really could have a big block. Or you could just leave the Cobra alone, and then you would have NO excuse why you are not driving it.

Just got back from then doctor - she said I have a badly pulled groin muscle. Surprising, cause I don't use my groin muscle all that often!

Blood test results OK except cholesterol levels worse than last time ... back on my weight loss program!

Brent - congrats on sale of house.

Ron - nothing for you

[Ron61]

That's ok Warren, I am used to being left out. Hope that your cholesterol levels get back to normal soon. The pulled groin muscle probably came from pushing the Cobra to places for all of those pictures. At least that way it won't get all dusty and dirty from driving fast.


Ron

[392cobra]

Hey Guys,
Just a little heads up about Kristen.
She is getting a little testy when it comes to receiving compliments lately.

Warren,
I think I'm sorry to hear about Turtle pulling your groin.

[wtm442]

Fred
I found a little puppy for you to help out with Frenchy.

World's Biggest Dog

Hercules: The World's Biggest Dog Ever, according to Guinness World Records. Hercules was recently awarded the honorable distinction of Worlds Biggest Dog by Guinness World Records. He is an English Mastiff and has a 38 inch neck and weighs 282 pounds. With "paws the size of softballs" (reports the Boston Herald), the three-year-old monster is far larger and heavier than his breed's standard 200lb. limit. Hercules owner, Mr. Flynn, says that Hercules weight is natural and not induced by a bizarre diet: "I fed him normal food and he just grew".... and grew and grew and grew.
