Good Morning

 

Superbike weekend at Road America...I'm here on the computer. Of course, it's raining. Getting there and have rain pass through is one thing, riding down in the rain is another. We'll see what it looks like at noon, it's only about a 35 minute ride there from here.

edit: Forecast was for a 45% chance of rain between 1100 and 1300 hours, less than 20% before and after. This crap is moving slow on top of everything.

 

Morning all:

Some really nice cars there Chuck.

My Hunting buddy has a built 70 challenger 440 6 pack that he did a frame off restoration on by himself, next to it is another 70 challenger that he was planning on building for his wife, but he's running out of time and money got tight when he had to go on disability, down in the other garage is some type of trans am that he started working on and abandoned it to build the 440 challenger. We use his Dodge Ram charger to hunt, and he keeps it in good condition and has been asked multiple times if he wants to sell it, then there's his older Dodge truck that he's working on now and will be like new when he's done with it.
Hate to say it, but the stuff that he can do is slowly coming to an end, even minor work causes him pain and he's getting shaky which doesn't help any.

 

Just read8ng thru pages of what all I can be doing in a coupla months after getting moved and new house all set up......amazing options when work is not in the way. Adjustment in progress....

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Exciting morning - Wheels and tires are in at Discount Tire, appointment at 11:30. Back to what should be some decent looking 16" on Little Big Red, and hoping for more road manner improvement.

Apparently, I lied about the smoker, as now the switches appear to be "internittent" (filthy in the burning chamber top), so halfway into my Tenderloin sear, I started losing heat. They are replaceable, but, dammit Jim!

 

Oh envy! I never understood why those weren’t more popular.

 

Yup, the torpedo worked!

I really like jitter bugs and poppers but they were not working for some ungodly reason.

For the past 5 weeks I was on top, in the middle and even scraping the bottom...nothing!

 

Lurking desert taco

 

raced a Honda 400/4 @ Road America, me thinks, it was the 1st year that motorcycles raced there, early 80,s ? good lawd what a track...

 

Can't like that


afternoon gang. Lawn mowing up next

 

Pics or it didn't happen...

I changed my mind last minute on the wheels - because these went on sale. So, the milled exterior faces I wanted, but gunmetal grey (not black) painted insets.








Now, I got a load to unload! Make you a great deal!

 

Damn good looking truck Kurt.

 

Okay... I give up. Why do you have pics of the trucks with Geolandars on it... and a bed full of what looks like very similar wheels with Geolandars on them?

I like Geolandars but I have to admit I've never seen any reason to have two sets.

 

Because I like to swap for "large size" when I get bored.



Because what's in the bed are 285/75 on 17. I wanted to go back to 16 original wheel size, with the width the 17 were supposed to have when I got them. (Because I have too many off road friends) So it's now 295/75 on 16

 

Thank you sir! And once I get those tires unloaded I will see if Phase II of the suspension improvements (ride quality) comes with the down size as I hope!

 

I like the look of your truck. I currently have black wheels on my truck but you make me want to trade for silver!

 

Well, went anyway...rained all day! Not heavy, but rain it did. Temp dropped all day too.

 

Thank you - makes me happy. Everyone has black. I like the milled finish, and the old ones had black painted inset. When these gunmetal painted ones went on sale - no more black wheels!

I'm glad you went - for the picture if nothing else!
