I finally beat the procrastination monster and installed the new faucet in the laundry room yesterday... I've been putting it off for two weeks now...
It's in and working good now...
And had a crew over cutting down a huge dead tree next to the house....

Will do. I think we take the southern route. We come through Moline.
What did it cost you to take the tree down? Did they remove everything, or? I have one out back that I would like to pay someone to just take down and clear the branches. I will cut it up and keep for firewood.
They actually fenced it before demo? Or was that already up to keep you from stocking up on extra house parts?
I was looking at the Holliday Inn express just off of I80 to the west. only a couple of miles from the school.

Man o man I go out shovel snow, piddle in shop and you boys laid down 1/2 dozen pages plus a
Royalty sighting (Thanks Adam). And our man of mystery is wolfing down huge shrimp plus whatever..... in the Mekong! I actually need some technical advice. Pix is attached. Does anyone have any knowledge of these two samples?

I got them as a tip for some cast aluminum welding I did.
Looks good from here.
Those could definitely slow down any progress toward getting the car on trailer. You should probably box 'em up and mail them 'somewhere' (address available,
)
Well i think i took care of a small annoyance. Added a high flow water filter to the main line coming into house. The faucets would catch debris and flow would be reduced. Actually only one faucet,but it was time to fix. Will make the other filter last longer.
Well I went with no items in mind to look for but scored some great deals and packed the truck full...
Giving you 2 minutes for pics or the baiter jabs start. LOL
I gotta get the stuff unloaded first.
A body big block under chassis headers, 100 bucks
Newly recored radiator for the polara for with 3 yr warranty
Like new fiberglass bumpers for the dart for 75 for the pair(normally 190 each)
Dragster style hood scoop for 30( retail is 275)
Front and rear new sway bars for 40 a pair for the polara.
And added some parts to upgrade my Gerst setup in the dart
Brake rotors for both cars

i wanna do something unique and theme related to those butterflies.
@halifaxhops no joy on dual point iron cores. Only seen a couple and they wanted over 200 a pop for them. One guy was asking 450.
@ZMan67S checked all the carters I could find, no joy there. Closest I found was a 4498 from 68 340

Saw that you tagged me twice! Man that sounded bad!
Yeah I deleted the first one. I accidentally posted in the wrong thread somehow.
I wonder if I could find a talented artist to airbrush a pair of DDs onto them
Fun day, not so much. My lower back is yelling at me...
So my little clean up of the driveway resulted in snowblower being self destructive for second time.. The plastic scraper blade wore through and came loose and augers started to eat it the other day. (self destruct #1) I had a spare. Put that on...Well, it was not on right and is about half worn out and one end broken at the mounting hole.
Of course it was right about noon that I discovered this. That being precisely the time every store with any chance of having one closes. So, I got it rigged back on there that I think it will stay. If not will be looking for one Monday AM before I can clear off the mess we are supposed to get starting mid-day tomorrow. I did get the new rubber paddles on also. They were only a little bit of a pain in the azz. LOL
