Christmas PSA!!

If you got these cool decorations, store them on something magnetic and that you can press together - because nothing I could do would make them flat enough to stay on the car - even at city speeds - this year. They are just going to curl up.

I had no problem with them on the back of the Avalon. I have the same set


Good morning. Getting ready to help my son paint an upstairs bedroom that he converted into a library/weight room. By helping I mean telling him what to do. Harris Teeter has pork shoulders on sale for 97 cents a pound.

 

Happy Hangar Day Porch Pals and Sue! I consider 32* a cold start!

 

So what is a normal low because 32° isn't cold. We're at 33 and that's above normal. We are on track to have the warmest December on record. Normal high should be in the low twenties and single digits lows. Last year 15" of snow and hoping for above 0 highs

 

Average in December is 65/43. Odds of a sunny 75 Christmas are good. We typically have single digit freezing days in a given year.

 

I have the greatest true story Christmas tale . . . .

Moved here so wife could be closer to her sister, they don't see each other much and are on the phone most of the time, but that's another story. Wife doesn't do a lot of visiting with the extended family, also another story. Anyway

Wife's sister, let's call her Joan, was at the family gift exchange before Christmas. Each of the children opened a gift, Joan would say "hey, I have one just like that!" Daughter was first, said "yeah now I have one just like yours!" Next relative opens a gift, "hey I have one of those!" "Yeah now I have one too, I love it!" This went on for like 6 gifts until the last one opened this little side table, it was a fairly unique table that sat in her bathroom." "NOW JUST A $#%#$% MINUTE, what the hell is going on, that is MY TABLE! It was in my second bathroom!"

Turns out the fam had been working since mid November, every time they'd go to visit grandma they'd pocket something and take it home, those were the gifts they were all opening.

 

It's so weird being the same age as Old People.

 

I like to think of it as being very immature for my age.

 

I resemble that remark...

 

Good evening all! Back at the motor, I got some tube spacers off today, 1/8 of a turn at a time! So it takes forever. Did it free anything up? No. But I have some more blank space, so, there's that!



Far more exciting, while I was sick last week, the replacement engine and prop got installed on TAB! (Yes, that's the engine I shined all up for the dance!) Old engine will go out for a rebuild. I'm told it will come back about as clean as it gets - good! Detailing will be easy! More exciting was some guy in CA is sending us a free box of parts that will make the spare "ready to hang"! (Example in a minute)




I'll let "Yellow Rose" show off some maintenance work. The pic in the middle is the example of "ready to hang" ALL that stuff between the bulkhead, and the back of the engine will be installed on the TAB spare. Cool panel storage under the oil tray!





Everybody gets some attention somewhere during maintenance season!

 

Hilarious!

 

Pork shoulder for 97 cents/pound is almost quite unbelievable

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!

The only excitement in my life is painting the drywall of the farmhouse living room. Ugh.
