I went to a small car show in the rain last night. First one of the year as they have cancelled most all of them. It was an impromptu type deal hosted by a tire shop for a grand opening. I went just to support their courage of even having one. Drove home in the rain with no windshield wipers (real cars don’t have em!) Throw in a spooled 433 reared and a mere 600+ HP and you got one exciting ride home. Made it safely home but what a bonehead stunt!

At least you didnt add “Hold My Beer” to the story.
Nice to see these shows starting to happen again.

One long time member of our local club its turning 80. All the guys are going to his shop for a bbq this weekend.
 
Speaking of show cars...

So of all things weird and obscure, the engine in the mini tractor is from a 50’s skoda 445 car. Damn. I hoped it was a jeep engine.
 
Now the AC is blowing cold. Will let it sit overnight, and check pressures tomorrow, to make sure no leaks. Put the new custom grille in after that. Good thing I took the old one out so I could flush the condenser and change o rings...

I have been doing mine in the oven with brown sugar sprinkled on top. It turns out like candy!

Hey Mike, your post reminded me that I saw this recipe recently for bacon onion rings!

Wrap a strip of bacon around two doubled up raw onion rings. Use each strip to wrap around the entire ring until it is covered and the center is open, Lightly coat the bacon with brown sugar then bake them at 400 degrees on a sheet tray for about 30 minutes until crisp. If you want to level up even more, add some spices (chili powder and/or cayenne) to the brown sugar or use maple sugar instead of brown sugar.

Dont want to come off like a know-nothing-er, but the o-rings are some kind of nitrile or something, correct? The ac from the 97 had all black o-rings buna-n i think they call them.

Yeah, this truck had the black buna-n rings, but I replaced them all with the green nitrile one, since they seal better. Whenever I do a system, I change all o ring seals...
