Hang in there buddy. For once as a Minnesotan I can sit here in January enjoying relative comfort and hear someone else complain about the weather.

41 degrees and sunny!

Heres to hoping this is your delivery van!

:cheers:

SWEET! Both the temp and the delivery truck. I figured being snowed in with all my parts I wouldn't care what outside was like! I'm even getting a propane tank filled for the bullet heater in the garage. Friday I had thought about getting a ramp truck to go get the parts. Shoulda coulda woulda but didn't.

Arrgh
 

Waiting on parts can be so frustrating...hope it makes it before the new winter obliteration that is supposed to me coming

Man its HOT here!
 

Wayne ... I do hope you get your parts before they shut down everything, Groton is supposed to get 2 feet of snow, guess they shut down the highways already.

Not to rub it in ... ITS 66 degrees out, did a little painting and opened all the windows in the house :lol:

Be safe ....

Chief already told it won't be until after the storm and they clear it up. What kills me is it was 17 miles away and now they moved it to Cape Cod and its about 45 miles away and into where they will get hurricane winds for 1-1/2 days. if power goes out for them it will probably be next week.
I'm sure it will switch and you will have some crappy weather days.
My daughter is a nurse on base and my son in law is a corpsman and both have tomorrow and maybe Wednesday off.

It will be worth the wait :bang:

Yeah my boys said the college is closed too .... enjoy the days off, right?

I am sure this warm weather will not last, funny thing is that there is still snow on the North facing ground.

Yesterday I tried to clean an Auto Kraft billet oil filter filter re locator with some brake cleaner. It was so cold it didn't even evaporate, I had to pour it out of the tray I had the piece on. The only thing that worked like normal was I almost got frost bite on my hand when It sprayed it by accident.

Hang in there, it will get there eventually. Hell, I wasn't working on mine when the garage was 52 degrees...lol I'm spoiled to the heat and that feels cold to me lol

Weather forecasters made it sound so bad 24" yeah right ! Shows you what they know Ha! it was only 22.5 !

LMFAO
What do they know, right Wayne??!! We got about 26.5 in the Walpole/Foxboro area. :drowninga:

With all this snow here and 2 more small storms on the way it was getting pretty crappy motivation wise around here.
Than I got a PM from a great guy Al and he boosted my spirits way up!

Then this afternoon I started looking out at all the snow piled up in my yard and started to hear that song in my head ITS STARTING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS. It got louder and louder until I saw this white box truck pull up in front of the house !

SCORE!

Great to see you getting all the cool new stuff!
Go Wayne!

Very nice !!

Awesome!

Thanks Guys It was a surprise they told me they would call early in the morning if they were coming. So no call be noon so the wife asked me to take her someplace in the next town over. There I am with her and I get a call We're almost at you house with your parts. I tell him I'm not there I'm about 15 minutes away he say no problem I can leave it in front of your garage. WHAT! I told him to wait and I kicked the old Tahoe in the butt and got in the house just before he showed up. That's all I would have needed to come home and find all these part in the yard especially the 500lb motor crate. But it was all good and I'm still smiling and :dance:

Is it running yet Waynie?Glad for you buddy you will surely be happy with that engine:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks Jeff.
Its almost there just having a little trouble holding the engine up with my left hand and threading the bell house bolts with the right hand. I'm a lefty. :D

AWWWEEESSOOOMMMEEE Wayne! All those parts sitting there just calling your name.....

Thanks guy's

Al PM box full.

Sorry bud, try now.

Nice bunch o parts Wayne. You must be loosing sleep with all those goodies in the garage.
Congrats

Yes I did Frank, all weekend. lol
My wife and I went to keep my daughter and grandson company while my son in law was away taking a test to become a volunteer fireman. He's a corpsman in the Navy and they will be leaving for Texas for 9 months this summer so we've got to get all the hugs we can right now! They're only 70 miles away and I miss them already. But after Texas it will be far far way:shakehead:
I talked to a recycler in Ca. last week and he had a 5th gen console with shifter and e brake for a decent deal so I grabbed it. Not really necessary but I wanted to put one in the Camaro for a long time.

Congrats Wayne,

I'm sure you'll have her on the road in no time now you have all the parts.

No excuses!
