They have a good snow pack. Problem there I think is all the resevoirs are mountain, they're pretty full but they don't catch run off in lower areas so a lot is getting away plus you have to treat it due to contamination.

Was talking to Timmy about the Cali drought stuff. He had a brilliant idea actually. Where it runs out of LA in that channel to the ocean they should do some sore of flexible boom/dam to catch it and then use it for other purpouses.

She said "different", Studebakers fit that bill real well
I had messed with enough Pontiacs to know it was going to be a tire eating muther if she set her mind to it . Funny thing, when I put those Hookers on the 2 bbl Teen in the Swinger, from the sound you would think that I had made another stop at Crower Cams. Countless people told me "Man. How big is that camshaft in there? That sounds Badass." Headers, turbo mufflers pipes just over the diff, and the biggest Rallys I could fit in the back with matching skinnies on the front was what she got.
Thats racist!
Cold and white?
And on MLK, Oh the Hummanity
Cold?
Fluffy, powdery, wet, slippery...where's Karl?
White is, Cracker!
Man what a PIA. I have been trying to get gravel for the container site for a month. 4 no shows. WTF?

The Army Corps of Engineers is making sure we have no retained water in this valley. In the recent past/last 5 years they decided a local flood control dam needed some renovation so the outlets on that reservoir are wide F'in open. Good thing they beefed up the levees bout 15 years ago 
I should put some good exhaust on mine. I still have the factory single y pipe split into duals by the previous owner. I had to replace the mufflers and we had a hard time finding clean metal to weld them to.She said "different", Studebakers fit that bill real well
Pennsylvania dog killed by hunters who thought it was a coyote - charges against hunter ruled out
Don't take your dog out during hunting season I guess. Weird that the owner talked to the hunters and they still shot the 90 pound "coyote", hmmm

Watch it! I'll go find Les Nessman @ WKRP in Cincinnati with his holiday helicopter report
Well I'm off to Ace Hardware, hoping their open, need those bolts for shop vice
Happy MLK day to all. I haven't seen a participant or an observant of such holiday at all in about 3 months. Not at all in Vietnam.
Haha. Just parked at the huge True Value in town. It's been around forever... wandering around looking at cool stuff
We still have a couple hardware stores in the area. I shop there whenever I can. Our store up the street went out of business when the owner retired. I tried to keep him in business best I could. Lawn mowers, snow blowers, gas grill's, humidifiers, paint, rental equipment etc. It was 10 blocks away and I could usually park not far from the door.

have dealt with some really good True Values. Usually best hardware and random stuff selection. Out closest one here is more focused on rental business. Another not too far is good, but tends to run higher on prices than box stores or even Ace(which is less than 5 min away). So generally only go there when looking for oddball stuff.
If you see the van rocking don't come knocking.
Well the hardware store trip caught me off guard, remodeled and moved Everything. I haven't been in there in a couple months, will take a trip in there when I have more time to relearn. Vice is an improvement even though I mounted it too close to edges to get support under it the way I intended, but fortunately the construction of the bench is solid.
Groovy! I'm sure there were some nervous Mothers wherever than van pulled up to pick up a daughter lol!
My Little Chief smoker just crapped out, will probably buy new one there even if a few dollars more than big box stores (which I hate). When it was time to sell our house that Ace Hardware saved my *** from oddball parts for the hot tub to plumbing etc. kitchen/bath and more. There's a gal that works there, if I can't McGuyver something together in my mind she usually finds 2 options that I didn't think about and she knows where the material is, don't get that at HD.
