Halito Woods. Must have had an off day yesterday..... had a graveside service yesterday for a Vet. Went back to the Post, put things away, had a duty drink, then another, and another. Got just a tad bit toasty....but ok. Got home, wifey gone shopping with a friend, so I sat in my La-Z-Denny and had a nap. She came home, woke me up, and went through the evening. Went to bed and honest to god slept until 0800 this morning!!! Must be I needed some extra rest.
I see you guys are active....you may continue....as if you need my permission!!! Be careful out there. I'll be back!!! Lurker out.......

Russ don't forget to pack your flannel and and study up on how to order at Starbucks. You need to fit in or they'll say mean things.

I extended myself on this trip by wearing decent shoes to Bob’s house. He was impressed. There is a little Russian coffee stand not far from here that I have always frequented, much better servers with normal hair colors.

Here’s the link Bob.

383 Big Block Chevy. He talks about it often. But I'm a mere gear-head, so that interests me. I'm not a diesel mechanic like you.

Chris ... 383 isn't a "Big Block" A 383 is a .030 overbore 350 with a 400 crank ... A very nice package I've done a couple ... I also have a a 400 small block with 5.7 rods ready for my oldest sons 1968 GMC ... I'm a bit of an old Chevy guy ... I also have a 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne L-72 ( 427/425 4 speed ) that's a potent contender hiding in the storage garage :>)
