So news, As you know my little sister passed Sunday. She has, had a 14yo son, Colin. He has been staying at his fathers moms house. Well, I get a call from my brother yesterday. Seems years ago, when Colin was a baby, Greg and Andrea, my brother and his wife, signed a notarized document saying they would take custody of Colin in the event of our sisters death! Well, Colin and his grandmother show up in Indio, where my brother is working, Grandma is trying to dump the poor kid off on them!!! Be careful what you sign!! He is 14 now and a real terror. I told Greg I would swap my kids for his one kid! Damn our sisters! Did I just say that?

sounds like my kind of town. Low population?Indio was one of those places that made Barstow seem like Paradise
My sister did not want the father to raise Colin, or his family. BUT that was years ago, they were not married. Now they were, so James should take care of HIS son. But the document is in place.....so...

Need parts sandblasted? Just leave them outside in Indio March and April. Flip them over once in a while to get complete coverage. Might want to mark it with a stake just in case the sand drifts cover the part.
Tons of info online. I actually have a extra set of blades if you need them for a delco alt.
Just got back left before the snow hit and on the way home it is a white out!
Well Bonnie was right to think Colin would do best with my brother, BUT Greg's youngest is 24 yo! Pretty big ask! Like our older sister and her kids. And me!
Ouch!
Glad I am redoing my will next week!
Just got off the phone with the Mr. Norms car owner. Interesting one of nine know to still exist. He will send some pics.
To cool Hoppy !!
Thanks. I just got paid I have to show you pics of this one unbelievable looks like it just came out of a mopar box!

Glad I got that junk yard run in yesterday. That 30miles West. Gonna get a bit more snow than here.
Never paid much attention to names, but I'd bet you could find about every major rail represented in the Reading area.
Is that fish I smell?
Craig has his own list? Cool
Trashy Suburban Babes. Got Pics?
What exactly are we fixing ?
I have a big old iron that was dad's. Haven't plugged it in, so not sure what kind of heat it is capable of.
Time to rebuild the chicken coop. @halifaxhops
Haven't done much, but I think #5 green goggles is what we used.
loose nuts, hit the stud, way off center, didn't touch...That's what I figured - stud was hit. Thats the type of junk I've bought from A1 Cardone.
Nope. And because it was assembled like, then nut holding it to the rectifier came loose.

The junk rectifier doesn't fit well and the hole through the insulation is way off center.
I'm lucky the output stud didn't touch the case.

That would have taken out the fusible link.
But as long as you were able to use a junk rectifier. It's all good.
Depends how long 'a while' was. As long as you got 'er done.
fixed
Never did a water pump. Have done starters and alternators. Local motor shop used to stock all the kits.
No apology needed. She does like to show her assets.
Wow. Was actually thinking 'does she have kids and where will they go? 'So news, As you know my little sister passed Sunday. She has, had a 14yo son, Colin.

Snow is really dumping here. Just had the pup out and scraped an inch off at the back door. It's completely white again.
Good morning...been out early taking care of the neighborhood driveways. Had to clean off our cars and truck.
Had the truck scheduled for the yearly oil change and its done.
Not much else going on here waiting for the snow to melt...again!!!
