Got the new battery and I took the tray out and painted it up so everything looks better now. Fired it up and let it run for 20 minutes outside and away from the garage. Got the leaf blower out and blew the crap out of the garage so it's fairly clean now. I'll power wash the floor and squeegee it maybe next week. Have to buy some longer battery tie downs as this battery is about 2 inches higher than the one I had. Shouldn't be a big deal and if I can find them I'll make them. Nice to hear those pipes again.

Sounds like you had a great day Mark ! Always nice to fire up the car after a longggg winter !
 
Was hoping to paint my engine bay today but one of my boys flew in from Minot, about 150 miles from here and had to pick him up at the local air port. He's working on getting his pilots licence and is now doing his solo. So try again tomorrow.
 
So far so good on flooding Fred. They had parts of 29 and 20 both shut down by the river but so far we can still come and go.
Good, been warm today and melting fast,60 here and would think warmer there so a few more days of melting and hope your in the clear.
 
Busy day here my youngest boy not quite 18 just joined the National Guards today.
God told me 8 kids is a piece of cake and I can do it. :bs_flag:I think I'm gonna go have a hernia then try my luck at making dinner.

They brought in the national guard yesterday to help with managing the flood control. I think they may be over acting a bit. Some of our roads are under water for sure but we are not cutoff..... Yet!
 
Morning guys had to put my mud boots on to take a walk today but nice and warm.
Gonna paint the engine bay today my fingers are crossed. lol
 
Not yet He will do it after school tonight.
You getting good enough weather to take the Cuda out today?
This rain is supposed to stop mid morning it looks like. I have to get a different tie down for the battery. The battery I got was the the correct one but it is about 2" higher than the old one I had. I may have to make them and paint them up. See what I can scrounge up. Very soon though Fred. It was great to hear the pipes once more. Good luck with your painting today. I'm sure it'll turn out nice.

Reminds me of the time my Dad bought a jeep truck. He said "DO NOT DRIVE IT." Sooo, I drove it. The battery was not tied down. Cornering caused some interference with the fan. Sheesh. At least he could of told me WHY not to drive it. If you are gonna give me rules, at least explain why Dad.

OOPs well at least you know why now. Did the same thing with my boys but learned real quick to explain.
Well BP wish me luck came in for the last cup of coffee for the day and engine bay ready for a wash and sealer. If anyone knocks on my door today I got my shot gun ready. LOL :elmer:
