Hey guys. Well, Mayo didn't tell us what we wanted to hear. I need open heart surgery to fix my mitral valve and they will do a bypass or two as needed while they're in there.

We can do it at Carlisle around 200 or so on Friday!
At least they found out what it is.

I wish...

Here to help. I can just imagine the Mrs tell you to shut your computer off after sharing that. “I don’t want people knowing I married someone that dumb!”

Reminds me of a guy with a Nova...…...

I am really going to crawl all over the 67/68/69s in Minneapolis. My favorite seems to be which ever one I am looking at right then. I struggle with telling the difference. I go back and forth on the smooth not smooth hood and the tail lights all the way across. I am a total mess trying to sort it out?

Easy to back flush used to do them all the time growing up. Check the pick up screen on the inside!

Make sure the exhaust manifolds are not letting exhaust in the system, easy check pop the cap and fill it to the top, will immediately pour over if so. Remember also no heat exchanges standing still the intake has to have a positive pressure on it to pass the cold water through the exchanger.and the exhaust gas really just kind of helps it move.

Interesting you mention that. They stressed good dental health and I got a release form my dentist needs to sign and fax to Mayo before surgery. They said that many mouth infections can cause heart issues.

I still am required to take antibiotics prior to dental exams, I think the timeline is two years post surgery? Mike, my Father had exact same surgery done as you are about to do and he is literally healthier and more fit than he has been in thirty years. And you are fundamentally in way better shape to start with than he was. We got your back buddy!

I think that they aren't making PM cams any more...

This one is an old Direct Connection grind that is for sure no longer available...

Thanks. If so then I better pick up their stock replcement cam since I might want to use theirs.

Quick cheats.
a. side markers
b. '69 nose and hood
c. 68 only the reverse lights are integrated into the tail lights.

'67 had had highest production numbers of the three years.
Also had the one year only idler arm, and brite-lock windshield weather strips.
Inside, 67 seats backs have no latches. headrests are rare, and shoulder belts almost unheard of,
and day/night mirror has long stem and slight curve to to the glass.

Not a lot of progress on the new front walk today. Last night’s rain pretty much swamped them out for today. They did get the next step base installed on the front and the new downspout pop-up to keep the water off the walkway installed. We got heavy rain again tonight so they probably won’t finish the front until Saturday.

Also, the rains tonight were from the usual direction and no roof leaks this time.

Oh, and don’t mind the algae on the siding. With the wet Fall, mild Winter and wet Spring we have had it took off like crazy. I will pressure wash it all clean again once the stone work is done.

Hadn't noticed till you mentioned it, but Damn!. Lol

Yeah, it’s out of control! The stuff is growing like mad since warmer and wetter weather arrived.

I have kept trying to get it pressure washed for the past several weeks but have either been rained out or sick.

Good Evening All! Took tomorrow off so another 4 day weekend woo hoo!

I do like the pop-up idea. How deep is it ? I'd be a little concern about it acting like a trap and junk filling up pipe underground.
