The new water pump showed up yesterday for the Impala, so that is today's and probably tomorrow's project.  This evening winter is supposed to show up.  Depending on which channel we listen to from 4 to 12 inches of snow are due to arrive.  High of mid 20s over the next week.  Hopefully back up to mid 40s for Halloween.  Sure glad I have a heated garage. Going out in a short time to turn the heat up.

Fixed the horns on my Impala.  Took 2 new horns, and the spring loaded pin under the steering wheel.

Had a great trip, 3100 cars were there, nice to see the Canadians back.  I hit a foot long 4x4 on the way back, no damage.

Final packing, leaving at 6:00 tomorrow morning for Good Guys in Puyallup.  Should be a good time, and then on Sunday meeting a bunch of my cousins for dinner.

I am packing the bearings on my Impala and need wheel seals.  Fit disk brake full sized gm from 67 - 70 and Corvettes from 68 to 81.  Same thing, special order, and can't even get 2 from the same warehouse.  Hope the second will get here today.

RIP Gary.

Watching the rain for at least another week.

Vonnie and I are headed over to Spokane for the weekend, indoor car show, and Spaghetti Factory,

I also thank everyone for being here.  I don't get out to the garage much anymore, still building up my strength, but all looks good.

A friend of mine just had a Yenko Stinger Corvair delivered to his shop.  Been in storage for many years down south somewhere.  In great shape, I will try to get a picture.  Needs to get it running for them.  When I go out and see it, it will be the first time I ever saw an actual Stinger.

We dropped back from 3.29 to 3.24 a couple of days ago.  Costco is .04 less.

Getting ready to drive down to Pomona for the Grand National Roadster Show.  Taking a first timer with me.  Should be a good time.  Leaving Thursday morning long before dawn.

I am partial to 4 door hardtops, nice alternative to 2 door post cars.  There was a 58 Buick Century 4 door hardtop parked at a shop on Main street here this summer.  I walked by many times to take a look.  Sure liked that ride.

I have a friend here that has installed several of these on mostly trucks.  He likes how the work, and mostly likes the price.  I haven't talked to him lately, he shut down his upholstery shop (he did hot rods on the side) recently.  His health has not been too good lately.
