They were all straight 6 engines, mine was 2.8 liters. Turbos came a few years later, but the cars had also gotten fatter and heavier by then.

Speaking of cars, a coon committed suicide on my left front bumper the other night. I have to take it to the body shop tomorrow. {the car, not the coon} The deductible is only a hundred bucks, but I wonder if my rates will go up.

It was too cool to work {or hike} without a jacket. but it had to be a light one or you would start sweating. Lot of sun early though. Wasn't too bad out of the wind. I took a long walk scoping out spots for the Spring crop.

It's a cold 36F with 73% humidity at 2130. It got up to 61F this afternoon, and is forecast to get down to 30F tonight. looks like rain and warmer weather the first of next week.
Thanks to the customers leaving a nice fire in the fireplace, I won't have to go out on the porch for my safety meeting. Pretty cool.

It's currently a balmy 28, made it into the upper 30s today, mostly cloudy. It's supposed to warm up over the weekend, into the 50s and sunny. In Colorado. In December.
This isn't actually unusual at all, it's just a well kept secret. So keep it to yourself, yo.
First safety meeting was taste testing to see if the run is cured. This one was to get ready for the hot tub.
I'll post some pics in my thread tomorrow of Sonic Screwdriver. You'll understand when you see them.

I'm very safe now, but still tempted to have another taste. I do have a touch more work to do, so I might had better wait if I want to finish at a decent hour.
As an old time Doctor Who fan it's cool seeing so many strain names from that show. Most seem to be pretty dank stuff too.

That's funny my dad was a Datsun freak! He gave me my first truck a 71' 1600, man I drove the wheels off that thing. Among multiple trucks he also owned his prized mid sixties 1300 station wagons, one was for parts of course. I have some good memories of car camping all around California, Nevada in those classics.

I had a 1977 Toyota Corolla wagon. It could only be killed by running it into the side of a mountain. Even then, it got me and my buddy home!

lol sounds like this 1981 buick lesabre my dad had bought and gave me to drive. I tried to burn that yellow motherfucker up when I was in high school, but I hardly could kill it. Finally managed to seize the engine up after putting it through hell and back more than once.

It was still cool today, but a nice day anyway. I got in a couple hours hiking before I had to come to work. It was cold in the shade when the wind was blowing, but I would work up a sweat in the sun when they wind laid. {I was wearing two layers of silks}
It's clear, 51F with 40% humidity at 1700. The high was 55F and tonight's low is forecast to be 38F. The rain has been moved back from Monday and Tuesday to Tuesday and Wednesday.
