Morning guys. Slowly getting my strength back.
My dr phoned me at 7:30 last night and said it looks like that new med is the culprit.
He wants me to have another blood test in two weeks. He's really great and smart too.
He's called as late as 8:30 pm. some times.
So we didn't get that snow at our area but they did a hr north of here.
Some people still haven't got their power on yet from a week ago because of all the trees and poles that came down. The hydro guys have been working very long hrs with help from other areas coming to help. A lot of food in freezers and fridges have been lost and some basements flooded because the sump pump not work.
On a better note, my son has got his blind up for hunting and he's been seeing all kinds of turkeys running the fields and lots of deer also.
Have a great day

The Goldwing is an 82 Aspencade, has 67,000 original kilometers on it, and under the cover is the 76 Pontiac Ventura, currently has around 43k original miles.
As for the white, I didn't specifically choose it, but I don't mind it either, I've had quite a few white vehicles, some by choice and some by chance.

That particular one was born with an Oldsmobile 260 V8, but has been upgraded to a 350 Rocket Olds motor.
The original options included a 250 I6, the 260 Olds, a 305 Chevy or a 350 Chevy. We bought it from the original owner, got a bunch of paperwork with it, including the original bill of sale, it was bought on Halloween day 1975 from Birchwood motors in Winnipeg for a shade over $5000.00.

307 Chevy engines were discontinued by then, but there was an Oldsmobile 307 that appeared around 1980 or 81, I had a few of them, they were a pretty decent motor for the day.

dad had a 65 buick special with a 350 wildcat engine. that had a lot of get up and go. had 15000 miles and sold it in 1977 for a Malibu Classic.. Broke my heart when he sold it for 400 bucks. I was 15 and he wouldn't sell it to me. tried tracking it down in my Mid twenties, but with no luck. it was a two door and the same color of blue as your ventura

My asshole brother had two 65 Buick Gran Sports, both had the Wildcat 445, one was 4 bbl automatic, one was dual quad 4 speed. He also had a 65 Skylark convertible, what a pos that was, had a bagged out 250 Chevy 6 banger when he bought it, swapped it out for a 300 Buick and a super turbine transmission with the switch pitch convertor. It was still a bondo bucket, but at least it got out of it's own way.

My wife drove a 76 Skylark that had an odd fire 231. The idle was rough but once brought off idle it smoothed right out. Got good mileage as well. Put some station wagon rims on it and I got some wire wheel discs out of the warranty bin. Looked quite good

Holy crap it's still cold out there but nice and sunny.
Had some snow politicians (flakes) floating down on and off all day.
My buddies daughter went 11 days without hydro and finally got some hydro hooked up but she has to be careful and not overload the system. She going to try turning the furnace on and see what happens.
Have a great evening

My goodness that's a nice cool build. Never seen one done this way, usually an old auto parts or junk yard advertising. Something tell me there is not a Deere running engine in it ?
I be back home from work and not too bad of a day.
Another chin spoiler
sent to a happy customer.
I remember those, with the crank that had those really odd-looking offset rod journals. Don’t recall if the engines were reliable or not, but I do recall buying quite a few crankshafts (from Crankshaft Supply in Minneapolis) when I worked for NAPA.
