    Good morning gang! Heading home ourselves today. The weekend was great despite the rain! Willie, I’m with you, no hotel, motel or even the daughter’s house can match the feeling of being home. We’ll be home by supper, as long as the remnants of the hurricane don’t shut down 95. BBL

    Good morning gang from rainy Clayton, North Carolina. Heading out to Walmart soon to get ring gear hopefully ponchos so that we can attend my grandson‘s football game this afternoon. Looks like constant rain through the rest of the weekend. Temperature high should be around 70°. BBL

    Hiya gang! 6 hour drive including 2 pee stops and we made it to NC fine. Grandson has a football game tomorrow, then we drive back Sunday. Tom, Best wishes for Terrys situation. I too am a 30 year reformed smoker and now can see what it did to me. BBL

    3 Rails splitting into 4? Interesting. Also looks like ChatGTP has a thing for the Vollmer or Noch catalog!

    This is why we have a service contract on the HVAC system. My knees can’t take crawling across bare plywood, plus the temperature extremes up there! The system gets a check up twice a year, and whenever we call them, they come out quickly.

    We've replaced quite a few 6.2 L87 engines. Mostly crankshaft main bearings seizing . It basically goes back to crankshafts not finished correctly. A rougher surface against the main bearings than it should be.. In rare instances a connecting rod exits the block, but usually the crankshaft...

    Hiya gang! Spent most of the day in bed with a head cold that started early Saturday. Between sneezing fits I've been lurking. I think the worst is over now, I can breathe through my nose, and its not running like a faucet. I read recently that Bachmann is producing additional cars for the...
