The Cafe du Monde supply is getting low. Must resupply.
Good Morning! Last day of my weekend but it looks like I get Friday off for 4th of July : )
Finishing some store bought. Need to grind a fresh batch of Guatemalan blend.
I wish I had Friday. They are giving us Monday as the holiday.
Humid and getting hot here. Anybody else want a creamsicle?

Looks like Pismo Dunes ORV park still closed. Rough year for those tourist driven businesses round there. Always a fun time to go watch the mayhem at the ramp in and out of the beach. That entire facility isn't long for this world regardless. The residents on the mesa above the dunes claim the dunes buggies stir up too much dust. They should have looked into that before they left Orange County 
. They want the 30mph daily winds blocked also

They probably say "you're ruining it"! Oh brother. My wife found a spot she wanted to go about 80 miles North of that, we flew into San Jose and drove down to Treebones Resort, hung out in a yurt for a couple of days. Pretty chill and nice coastline.

Lite rain here today. A day inside resting......
The Marines already fleed the scene here. Clear as a bell.

They built their houses on top of a sand dune.
did they think that sand came from? The early residents up there planted groves of Eucalyptus to mellow the wind and slow the sand migration, so what do they do? Cut down the Eucs because they spoil the view of the sunset 
Just about done the fuel line tweak, adding 2 feet to gas tank end and a 45 degree fitting to get hose pointed in the right direction. A few clamps to frame and i can fire it up again. Lots of details missed, trans cooler line was the lowest point on the car,
Sheet metal rubbing upper control arms,no flex in exhaust hangers at all,causing them to break. Redid hangers the best way i could think of.
This also allowed me to move pipe away from trans x member as it was touching.

I am going with old Snap On. Early faded red or orange!
Snap-on
Yup, orange. Not to be used as a prybar or chisel. Didnt say anything about a wedge.
The flat blades are very brittle.
i bought a screwdriver at K-Mart. Was in the bargain bin. That was the toughest screwdriver i ever owned. I pried the heaviest snap rings i ever saw with it. Too bad i lost it. Was in a toolbox that got stolen during a house party my room mate had.

Go to town, grab fittings and return to shop. Install fittings and measure for length of hydraulc hose. Will work out perfect.
My newer ones from Snap On are green. So I guess yours are older. My red/orange ones are KD Tool/Easco......
Mine are Black!!! Real Vintage stuff......
