Her name is Mackenzie Corinne Sorrell. She weighed 8 pounds and was 20 inches long. I am a very proud father :slight_smile: this is our second child, and we couldn’t be happier.

Those young years are the best times. They’re so dependent on you until that driver’s license :grinning:

It has been HOT in Dixie and not getting a lot done and is rough on us old folks .

Putting miles on the ram . about 200 this weekend including 80 early this morning .

Me and the family made a quick trip to a local flea market this morning and found more 2 inch silicone connectors :joy:

Looks good Mr. Wayne. Can you get 3 out of 1? What are those off from?

#217

Hello Mr. Don

Yes , I can make three connectors out of the longer tubes in the box . The connectors in the sacks are already cut in three inch links .

The couples are new and some still have tags on them. Each have a military number on them .

I have expremented with claming a piece of this material to the pipe between the heat exchager and cooling rails and left it a few months . It held up fine :grin:

Finally after 53 days, enough rain to rinse the top layer of dust off the cars. Afternoon high only 85! Of course, we’re back up into the 100’s by the weekend, but we are thankful for one day off.

I know what you are saying Alex, cooled down here too yesterday and it was a nice treat, went to the Iowa State Fair and had to go back to the car to get my coat!
I’m wondering if you guys could help me find my old Wood Powered Ford Festiva. I’ve looked and looked and can’t come up with it, it has to be on You Tube cause it was posted on DOW a long time ago. I know it doesn’t amount to much but I was just wanting to see that old video of it again! Thanks

This was on CBS Sunday Morning this morning. I thought the interviewee was Dr. Larry W. but it is an associate of our Argos visitor. At the 3 minute mark it starts.

This might help for frequent bed hopping.

Thanks Doug. I like it. I broke my hip getting in and out of the bed. Since then I carry a two step “poly” thing to get up and down in the bed. It also has a nice storage space in it that I put my empty wood sacks in. When the tailgate is up I step on the bumper yet. I like that little wider step, than the width of my bumper at the license plate indentionTomC.

It finally heated up here in MI, as I said in Joes thread, my old goat no longer has AC,…some backwoods engineering might be in order if it persists much longer!

Say, that gennie would probably run on woodgas too 'eh?

I got to spend an afternoon with Ron Lemler at our national King Midget meet in Warsaw Indiana a few weeks back. It was nice to see him since I missed the meet this year
