Afternoon, lunch break.
I sold this guy the parts to build this car and almost 50 years later we are friends again through the neighbor's dance group. A new member to our local drag strip group on Facebook just posted this photo. I have been looking for a photo and this is a good one. I bet Rick will be surprised. He told me he never took any photos of the car.

As most on here know I am not afraid to sip an adult beverage or two. And in like manner I enjoy a good tussle with my hound Hemi. So in my infinite wisdom the two collided tonight, literally. Now she is by no means the largest strongest dog out there by any stretch. But, she is in fact a svelte 100 pounds of bonafide tug a war partner. So we are playing a serious game of tug (que Karl) and we are at eye level in a total contest of wills. The rope is taught as a bow string, I am pulling hard, death grip on knotted rope, she is butt low and in 4 wheel drive pulling hard. Just when I think I own her, she just plain let’s go. No way to save it I flatten my beak with my own fist as the knot in the rope ricochets off my fore head. Knocks me senseless. I quickly look around thru watery eyes to ensure wife did not witness my brilliance. Not sure if a dog can grin or not but I swear Hemi was grinning at me. I got back in chair done for the evening.I think she may still be smirking.
My Gunnar is a tug master also, but will never give in to a human.
Just a quick fly by... having a rough couple of days, pinched a nerve in my neck and it hurts to sit at my computer... Just trying to lie down and let it pass...

Was that really Karl?
Been there. Take care of yourself.
For me it was a combined hot knife and electric shock.

No way right? He must really be hurting to pass up some of those opportunities! I pitched him one, super slo mo, right over center of plate. “Serious game of tug” just imagine where he could have gone with that? Hope he takes some muscle relaxers washes em down with something good and wakes up healed! On serious note does not sound like he is having any fun.
Funny!
i was running down the slick road with my lab on the leash, my feet went out from under me and the first thing to hit the ground was my head. I come skidding to a halt and fury was there right in my face. I think she thought it was funny too. It wasnt.
Well, this wasn't what I expected to find.....
The contents of a Cadillac converter. It wasn't working because the car is still not a Cadillac

Hey bartender!
Just damn! That's not even converter fodder.. That's just crap!
Hope you feel better soon Buddy......
I hope you wear a respirator when you gut them. It has all kinds of nasty “iums” in it
Iridium rhenium are a couple i remember.
All you need now is a spacer for the downstream oxygen sensor.
Have to take it out of the direct exhaust flow,so it gives a false reading.
There are spark plug non foulers,drilled out and stack 2 to fool the ecm.

Gotta love them K9 comedians, my old boy Dunham used to do the "death roll", he still tries to play tug but his hips are pretty bad. My little girl Olive has done pretty much just what \Hemi did to you. LMAO
There are a couple different sizes,18 mm is the typical one, but most spark plugs are 14 mm. Dorman has, photo is for reference.
