    We have had flowering trees for about two weeks and some warm afternoons but very cold nights near 30 F in central Virginia. I am reading books on wiring to get ready BUT my test is to say, "Are you ready to get down on the garage floor to finish that D-bar on the steering?" and so far the answer is NO! For me the deciding factor is the temperature of the garage floor, but I do want to get back to work on the roadster soon. Other than the cold I do not see where to put the main circuit board in the tight '29 cockpit. The left kick panel is the obvious place but when I put a radio speaker in by my left knee the circuit board has to be way up in the tiny space of the left dash. Maybe it is obvious but I will be looking at old threads to see if there are any pictures of wiring examples. Meanwhile the garage may heat up a bit.

    A lot of the folks that relocated here in the last 10 years fled Cali, especially small manufacturing and distribution businesses who were tired of the anti-business environment, as well as those who sold houses for big $ there and bought comparable for less here. Unfortunately, either those folks or some others are shifting the voting practices to where it's edging in the same direction. I guess they never figured out those old party loyalties are what did them in across the border.

    Brian, it's all about the timing. I'm here each year at this time and Oct/Nov, and it rarely gets above 85. Oh, and of course.................it's a dry heat.

    No Pops, as the South Dakota Satan (a name he earned by persistently wanting to chop the hemi Dodge ) said, I just visit a few times a year. We've had a place down here for around 6-7 years. Comes in real handy for doing the SEMA thing.

    Nope Shawn, I was talking about the people who are moving from Caliphony to Nevada....they are referred to as immigrants in Nevada....but I'm sure many in Nevada would classify them as illegals!!!!!!!
