    Love drag racing, bracket raced a bit in the mid 1980's. Coworker is currently on vacation on the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour which is similar. He and his dad are driving a pair of Pontiac Fieros.

    A little something every chance we get.
    There is a FCC site or similar, that let's you see where broadcast towers are. Handy to check. Wile we are 30 miles SE of Austin, all the broadcast towers are another60 miles NW, in the hill country for elevation. Now, it was years ago, before digital, but even with a TennaRotor, got very limited channels. Just check before ya jump., all I'm saying.

    Yeah, I hate seeing this kinda post. We had a situation going into this weekend where one of the members that was going to come out to play hadn't been heard from in a couple of weeks...turns out his cancer got him a couple of weeks ago.

    Still alive and kicking. The new pup's schedule has me jumping without a lot of time on the PC. Lynn's Mom was transitioned into hospice two weeks ago and then passed away on May 28th. Since then we've been in planning and execution mode for the visitation, service luncheon and internment of ashes. Finally beginning to catch our wind now although Lynn has a pretty rough sinus infection now.


    Truck is still in the shop. They were able to realign the frame. Might get it back this week minus the new tailgate which is on months-long backorder.

    Sorry to hear about the rough couple of weeks. Good to hear about getting your truck back, maybe the insurance could find a good used tailgate?

    Evening all:

    That's crazy, and to think that AA fuel dragsters turned in the 8's around the middle 60's!

    :rain: Well, that was a surprise. One little orange blob of rain moseyed on down 183 right through town about 5:30 - 6:00. And it brought 1.02" inches of rain with it!
