    My friend Chris lives near there. Not sure if he'll be attending but he inherited his father's MGTD with a Judson supercharger and an MGB that's nicely done as well. Look for them.

    Ya know... and not to put a damper on it... I've always wondered if the new units are really more efficient. I mean, that's the sales pitch they've used since inventing furnaces. Some guy living in a cave probably said to somebody else, "If you use this other kind of kindling it will be more efficient." and that has stuck with us since pre-history as a sales pitch to sell furnaces. Does anyone really KNOW that one furnace is more efficient than another one? Does anyone test their new furnace to see if it's using less fuel to get the same amount of warmth in a room when the outside temps are the same as the old furnace was doing fine at? Just wondering...

    Morning all:

    Finished up string trimming this morning, only took about 20 minutes and most of it was in the shade, but it was starting to get hot.

    Saw yesterday where they may change the spouts on gas cans back to the old style, if so, it's about time! Which reminds me, I need to transfer gas from one of those new latest and greatest POS 5gal. cans to one of my old style cans! :)

    I have all my firearms. In a safe and on the cheap. Under a grand all told. Two shotguns. Field and home. Plus the safe. One of the guns was a steal at 400 bucks.

    @Tacogent, you're outside air temperature has the OAT here in Maryland beat by 10°, but our humidity is sitting at 48%. Not comfortable; especially given our A/C croaked this week. :(
