Evening Dinners
Flo, for me and one for anyone that wants one!
Happy JFD! Stands for Jerry Free Day! Boy I was glad he was not there today! Had some of the worst customers you could hope for. $50.00 Twin Mattress, $100.00 Full Sets, Mom is going to pay for it but is not here kind of day. When you work with some one you have to share the customer's so if they are a Ash Pit and the next one is a good one, well you get the idea.
Last customer of the day was a good one and boy I need one! They came in 10 minutes before closing and did not look like they had two nickels to rub together. But I showed them the good stuff anyway. Don't pre-judge! While I got out 40 minutes late, they spent $1500.00 and I made a extra $100.00.
YGW Reason the - battery cable was off was due to the fact the Brake Light switch was bad at the time. Another fun fact about that photo is in 24 hours we pulled the engine, stripped the engine bay to bare metal, painted it and installed the 426 Wedge after 12 hours (let the paint dry) and did this photo.
Best Car Complement I ever got was from a Chevy owner! Bill was a manager that worked for me. I found a sweet 69 Z-28 for Bill and he bought it. He and I where talking about what could be done to his Z to make it a little faster. I told him what I had done to my 1970 383 Cuda and we decided to trade for the night.
While I hate to addmitt this I got more in his Z-28 on the way home than I did my 1970 Cuda, and the Cuda was pretty! He came to my house Saturday and when we exchanged keys I asked "well what did you think"? He looked at his shoes, then at me and said "Ken that thing made me Ash Pit my self"! Seems he was with a friend that dared him to floor the car at 35 MPH. Cuda has 5.0 kick down lever in the trans, so it jumped from 1800 RPM's in thrid to 4000 RPM's in first! Warmed over Mopar Big Block will wake you up in a hurry with that kind of RPM jump!
Later, Ken
My Road Runner would have killed him.

Good Afternoon!
Time sure flies by when you´ve got something interesting to do! I have been quite busy working on that layout planning project, which is the largest layout I have ever planned so far! Took me a while to capture the gist of the task and develop a basic idea for a track plan. I quess I am halfway through sketching a first rough idea and, without disclosing too much at this stage, it´s going to look great!
YGW - I think I´ll be able to email you something tomorrow!
My own plans are on the back burner at the moment. I need my friend Lothar´s help to get the wiring finished on my layout. Hopefully, I´ll be able to do some minor finishing touches to complete the scenery. Basically, it´s just adding a grade crossing and some underbrush - that´s all! When that is done, I´ll be putting it up for sale, hopefully fetching a good (reasonable) price for it, allowing me to feed the piggy bank!
Still no answer from Galaxy. I hope he is not caught in those family issues again.
A prayer for Barry!
