Mornin' guys and gal(s). We kinda dodged the storms, and got some nice rain. Front yard needs a quickie trim.
My buddy Tom called last night. He got caught in a hour+ backup Sunday, due to a 10-50PI, with a double fly out on 70. Woof. He also asked if I was attending the train show in Ranson, WV tomorrow. I don't feel like driving 1.75 hrs to go to what traditionally has been a small show. We'll see.
for those in need.
for an end to all the nonsense goin' on...
Good Morning!!Prayers for Banks and Chief......Chief - sounds just like when Dad was getting his chemo - Benedryl and all. BP was always low.Banks - I hope you "escape" soon!Becky - Band? DO tell!!
Big storms rolled through here, I was actually "trapped" on my street, was flooded on both ends, missed 7 separate incidents with flooding, trapped in cars all that. 2 tornadoes close by. Everybody is OK, no issues. Flooding has receded as of this morning. 80s and lower humidity later.Hoping for an easy day - end of month is always a clusterf**k......That's all from here - back later

WOW Banks, that is tough. That bug is smarter than all of us. And some of us ain't helping to beat it at all? Get better, friend, you did the best you could or could be asked for!
Looks like we will be back on the mask thing again here as well. People are getting sick all over the place, the nonbelievers mostly. Go figure?
Cooled off and humidity fell a lot. 80 today will feel like winter. I got to hand it to that overpriced Dense shade grass seed I got,,,at least it works! $80.00 for 20lb is steep!
Ordered the Evapo-Rust, rust remover from Amazon today $34.60 for two gallons, not bad. I also ordered a can of Seymour Cast Blast paint to replace the one I used up. Love that stuff Roy. It is great on resto projects like your doing.
Not much else going on here. Moose for carry out dinned tonight!

Kev, From The North Bluff Above Marseilles IL.
Morning all!
Another HOT one today! 99 with a 195 degree heat index!
Got the AIR injection manifolds and check valves installed on the El Cam exhaust headers. That took over 2 hours - Eight 1 in long flare nuts that you can only wrench about 1/8th of a turn at a time. Whew - glad that is over. The AIR pump pulley and bracket are in the Evaporust and looking good - will clean them and paint today. Try to install this afternoon. Working on the hoses and fittings - will have to make a trip to the auto parts store. So far so good!
Banks - that stinks - prayers on fast recovery!
Chief - continued prayers!
KEV - neat project - I better understand why the gas tank is not an easy removal. Good luck! The Evaporuct will create a lot of solids/debris in the tank so draining/cleaning will be a bit challenging. The nice thing about the Evaporust is you can just keep using it (when dirty) until it looses effectiveness. So keep it when you drain it from the tank. I let the solids settle in extra plastic jugs and then use an old cotton rag to strain the last of it. I will check out that paint you mention!
Regards, Roy
My sympathies to Tyler Spank. That's tough.
The thing is, with rising deer populations all over he's not the first and he won't be the last. Small consolation I know.
I saw a post on the Route 80 Rant Page last December:
"Man, there's dead deer all over the highway! It looks like Santa Claus crashed his sled!"
anjdevil2Becky - Band? DO tell!!
Civilized Yak. Cross Van Halen and Yes and you'd have some idea of our sound.

Remember tomorrow night Pot changes. New person should do it so we get a different "menu". Would be fun. Just be sure to add the 17 years. Thanks [hint: maybe Penny]
Mornin' guys and gal(s). Sunny and 58 along the Allegany front range. Pleasant weather lately. Off this weekend, so maybe spend some time in train room. Mowed lawn yesterday, then cut the entrance to our neighborhood, and picked up trash (HOA kinda thing).
My buddy Tom notified me that the Bunker Hill train show, in Ranson, was cancelled due to "air conditioning" issue. I've been to that venue, and it seems to me they could have overcame that issue... And the weather is gorgeous on the panhandle today. Go figure. Me, I'm hoping for York, and Altoona, perhaps.
Speaking of, Banks, got an update for us?
Gooood morning. 75 and cloudy. Rain???
Have a good one.
Good Morning and End of July Weather sorta reminds me of September - 55 right now going to 81 Took the bike over to Jenni's and indulged on Arby's Roast Beef.We did her hours for work, watched a bit of the USMC 8th & I evening program and started laundry. Was home by midnight - It was a bit chilly on the ride home, but nice.Afterwork, we're planning on church, then heading toward the shore to pick up some parts for the Super Bee - that will be for Monday's extravaganza.Not planning to do much on Sunday, have to pick up a trimmer at HD later and will probably do yard work for a bit tomorrow. Nothing else on the horizon.I've gotten the green light to go to York on Friday - I will submit my time off for Oct 22 if yuz giz are going......It will be a day trip, maybe see my BF and God DaughterFINALLY got the update on the Fiesta - Ford will contribute $200 (on a $600 repair, gee, thanks) but the dealership will do my service for free and get me at about $400 total, so I approved the repairs and SHOULD get the car back by Tuesday.Magnum is still on the lift - I'm not pressuring him, he does good work and I brought my own parts. So when he calls, I'm good with it. I still have exhaust to do and a windshield.I'll be doing "performance paint" on the hood (satin black), since the clear coat is peeling off. When it comes back to me......Spank/Tyler - There is nothing you can do to control wildlife - I have hit my share, I hate it, but it just happens - Chief - good update - glad you are feeling better!!Prayers for Banks !!
Becky - More like Prog Rock? Yeah - I like it!!!
Kev - Good Luck on the Scooter!!
OK - off to work - been crazy - took me an hour just to post this.....
Rich, that was a double good bike trip. Got to be with Jenni and Arbys [the best roast beef. I get the biggies one].

Afternoon/morning all!
HOT yet again - but a cool front on Monday will supposedly drop us to low 90's. OK
Got the smog pump and hoses installed on the El Cam - Started her up and no issues so far. Have to do some additional work on the vacuum control line to the AIR pump diverter switch assembly. Jury rigged a vacuum check valve as I cannot find the right size. Looks like a local NAPA store has one that I will go check out later. Vacuum lines/accessory gear for older vehicles has been the hardest part of putting this vehicle back together. It uses 1/8", 3/16", and 1/4" lines which used to be common at all auto parts stores. 3/16" (4mm) easy to find. The others not so (1/4" fuel line is what I have to use but it is very stiff and hard to install). Windshield install confirmed for Monday morning! Just a few more vacuum items to piddle with.
DJ - nice score with the DMV appt for Tyler. Yeah it sucks to hit a living thing with a vehicle. Also have to be careful to not wreck a car to avoid a chicken in the road - true incident while I was riding in a university station wagon on a business outing.
KEV - what is the part number of the cast iron paint? The Amazon and even their home site decriptions are all over the place and I do not want the Aluminum version (seems to be confused for the cast iron version). Here is an example:
https://www.amazon.com/Seymour-16-2668-Automotive-Specialties-Paint/dp/B000EM0180/ref=pd_sbs_1/132-5797107-4329559?pd_rd_w=7Uu7O&pf_rd_p=0f56f70f-21e6-4d11-bb4a-bcdb928a3c5a&pf_rd_r=PAGC0YDFMFCBTS3QEEB3&pd_rd_r=e12b898e-5ce1-44be-a2e9-ef6c2d0d980a&pd_rd_wg=Dusv5&pd_rd_i=B000EM0180&psc=1
Says it is cast iron and then description states "high gloss chrome like aluminum finish".
Nice here, cool and overcast. I like it.
DJ, you got to tell Tyler deer seldom ever travel alone, bucks at times but does, hardly ever. So don't wast time looking at the first one look for the others to come. But then he knows that now.
Roy, I use Seymour 16-048, $11.78 a can, this is it. I think 16-2668 may be a new number. It is a flat cast look. From looking at their site looks like 16-048 is good to go in CA. Like I care about that.

Hello there. Thanks for all your support.
Still in UPMC Bedford. Only way to keep O2 over 90 is to be on 4 litres of O2. I get a bag of remdesivir and half dozen bags other antibiotics each day. Beentold I'll. Be here til my O2 stays on 90 with no help.

Thanks KEV! I will get me some of that!
Banks - continued prayers!
anjdevil2Becky - More like Prog Rock? Yeah - I like it!!!
Well that's what we tried for anyways. Although there is a tape of "Jingle Bell Rock" we did that sounds like a cross between Sam Kinison and Big Brother and the Holding Company. Giddy up jingle horse, PICK UP YOUR FEET!!!
ChiefEaglesThanks [hint: maybe Penny]
Ummm.....I eat Lipton soup for breakfast.
pennytrains Sam Kinison
Wow. Who did the Kinison screaming effects?
I did. But it was a little Joplinesque.
