Steve,
Even though I'm in law enforcement, I'm not much of a 'gun guy'. Several of my co-workers though, are in the same situation. Spent quite a bit stocking up on ammo, only to find out the ban didn't happen. Typical California politics!

I am however, in the same situation as far as anniversaries go. Celebrating our 25th this month, so we decided to go big. We've been collecting photographs by a certain wilderness artist for a couple years now. The gallery offered us a killer deal... 5 large panoramic prints for the price of 2. Too good to pass up. But that means no goodies for the project until the pics are framed and hanging on the wall.

Happy Anniversary.

Happy 25 years to you guys too! I guess having too many interests can be a problem! But everything gets done eventually!

Steve,
Happy anniversary!

Ken you are too generous! Thanks, right now I think I'll have enough saved up by the end of the month to shop around some local repair places I've worked with in the past and see if anyone is willing to give it a shot! I've almost payed off the anniversary gift, and I am also getting ready to get going on the truck again this week if this awesome weather holds out a few more days! I really want to get it road worthy by this summer!

Well we had a break in the rain last week on a day off, where I actually got to work on the truck. It was nice and warm so I thought I had to at least get something done on it. I pushed it out of the garage and fired it up for the first time in months. It ran great once warmed up, so I decided to try and clean up some of the wiring and get rid of some of the packages hold ing the wiring clips. I had bought some spark plug wire loop holders that I finally got installed, though I still need to trim the wires to length. I also had some wire conduit from HF that I thought I'd give a try on the distributor wires. It actually cleaned up the engine quite a bit. I'm off tomorrow, and if the weather holds, I plan to get the transmission linkage connected, so I don't have to keep pushing the beast back into the garage. I guess I'll get to see if the brakes work too!

Its looking good, when will the maiden voyage happen,,,,,?

That reminds me of this joke.




NORWEGIAN FIRE DEPARTMENT


One dark night outside a small town in Minnesota , a fire started inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it exploded into massive flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around.

When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical company president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved. I will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact."

But the roaring flames held the firefighters off.

Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer was now $100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the company's secret files.

From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the nearby Norwegian rural township volunteer fire company composed mainly of Norwegians over the age of 65. To everyone's amazement, that little run-down fire engine roared right past all the newer sleek engines that were parked outside the plant.

Without even slowing down it drove straight into the middle of the inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched as the Norwegian old timers jumped off right in the middle of the fire fought it back on all sides. It was a performance and effort never seen before.

Within a short time, the Norske old timers had extinguished the fire and had saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical company president announced that for such a superhuman feat he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave fire fighters.

The local TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film, asking their chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?"


"Vell," said Ole Larsen, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first thing ve gonna do is fix DA brakes on dat focking truck!"
