47F few clouds mid 70's for high.

Outside chores done E muffin time.
Plans for today...cut clean up fallen spruce tree side field with hope not to make to many wheel ruts,rake clean another section by the road,if I get that all done feet up relaxing.

Enjoy the day all.

my brother had great fun on his first ride of his new/1966 toy:
It’s a beast. It shakes rattles and rolls. It gulps gas, it is very loud.
Exactly what he was looking for. He has new radial tires on order so he can take off
the white walls which are actually a rather unattractive period correct orange, bias ply tire.
Should have a lot more grip with radials.
He was fully amused by the little opening vent windows.

Toppop, hopefully someone at some point has rebuilt that motor. Have the brakes been updated?...dual master cylinder, disc brakes up front, etc.
Paul, a supercharged Hawk was the cream of the crop back then, one of Mr Loewy's beautiful cars. Your Dad was surely a car guy.

I’ll certainly check it over good. I’ve owned north if 140 vehicles since I was 16, you pick up a natural nose for problems. At his price if the brakes need upgrading I don’t mind.
Not buying it for a distance cruiser, just shows and cruises within fifty miles or so. I can’t imagine it’s a comfortable long distance cruiser. I’m more attracted to the uniqueness. I’ve never owned a Studebaker, had a Rambler Marlin though.

Good Morning
It’s 49, high of 67 forecast.
Overcast, but clearing later. Rain tomorrow.

Got two speakers shipped yesterday, we decided to postpone electrical work at the restaurant until Sunday morning while they are closed. Spent some quality time with a bass, polishing songs for a recording session tomorrow.

This morning I’ve got an unscheduled trip to Newport News. It’s easier to do it myself than to round up a crew on short notice, I should be done by noon.

Randy, I hope that it goes well with the Champ, it really looks cool. My parents had Studebakers when I was a kid. My dad had a Hawk with a supercharger, and my mom had a wagon with overdrive.

I always liked the Hawks and Grand Turismo, this would strictly be a toy.

Toppop, if you don't already have a truck, that would make a very cool one. Probably pretty simple to work on.
Only challenge with older cars is no a/c and no airbags.

It would just be a toy, I drive a Hemi Ram crew cab as my daily.

Mostly, prayers for your wife and family.

Good morning All.

I have not posted anything this week. We’ve been busy with a project here at the year round place.

Just a couple more weeks before we head north to open the camp for the year. The ice is already out on the lake, but we are waiting until after our 2nd Covid shot.

Hope everyone has a great weekend !

Good Morning!!!! 48F @ 5:15AM. Sunny. High near 80F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Still no rain in the 10-day. None in the WU monthly calendar, either. I went out all the way to July.

Cool car, Randy. Or is it a truck? Hope it meets expectations.

Classic case of telling you what you want to hear, instead of giving you what you paid for, Paul. I'd have been tempted to go back and speak with the manager. That employee deserves to be fired.

When you mentioned the DW controls, at first I didn't think that would be a good idea. But then when I have to bend over and squint to see the fine print on the poorly lit front of the door on the one here, I think on top would be better.

My buddy in Washington state is still very enthusiastic about his Starlink hookup. If they don't over subscribe it and can maintain bandwidth, it's gonna be a real game changer for rural internet. Speaking of which, rural internet has been one of the talking points in the new administration's infrastructure plan, so I wonder what they have in mind. Discounted high earth orbit satellite internet didn't cut it in the Obama years...

Welcome, Danica. Sounds like a heck of a snowblower!

What ever happened to your land plane project, RS?

Didn't seem like I got much done yesterday, just filling up the other half of a pallet. Sure burned a lot of manzanita sticks, though, going through better than half the pile. Used the porta-band saw to cut off two inches of width on the last pair of pallets so the shipping container door will close. That is one handy saw.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
