Both should move up and down, quietly and reasonably fast.

If a window does not work, this most likely means a bad motor, but check the fuse pane...

Good Morning CGs!

Well, my slumber was rudely interrupted last night. Was laying in bed when all of a sudden air horns started going off. My wife said "what's that?" I replied, "the Blackhawks just won the Stanley Cup." And then the fireworks came for about an hour. Which in turn made the neighbor's dog bark for 20 minutes. So much for sleeping with the windows open. Oh well. I finally managed to get to sleep.

Hopefully should be a nice day weatherwise. A little cooler than yesterday, might rain later.

After work I've gotta stop by Joe's house for some plug wire sleeves, then pick up the new mattress we bought for the baby. Busy day planned.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Matthew

Matt,
You are the busiest guy I know. I wish I had 1/2 your energy.
I am stuck in the home office today, which I guess is a good thing. Things have been unusually slow for me work wise, and I am actually missing the traveling. Not the stranded in the airport part, but the traveling. Supposed to be coming home from Orlando today, but it cancelled.
Anyhow, during the lunch break I hope to bolt up the waterpump, and header check valves. After work I hope to pull the old manifold off my broken 383 and get it cleaned up. Maybe toss in the pushrods and roller rockers and adjust everything up.
Or, maybe just go to the local bike night and see the wet T-shirt contest.
Decisions, decisions...

Howdy! My adjustable FPR came in the mail yesterday so I installed that last night - will have to play with it some to see if I can detect any changes. Meanwhile, they're talking about 2 solid days of rain starting in a couple of hours, just delightful.

Pete, if you're really missing traveling, you're more than welcome to take my trip to Manila next Friday - not looking forward to that at all.

Have a good day, everyone!

I don't even know what part of the globe Manila is in?
I do get to go to China for about 13 days in september. 1/2 of me is looking forward to it, the other 1/2 is dreading it.

Mojo for your grandma, Rick - that has to be tough to watch a loved one suffer.

Pete, Manila is about halfway between Japan and Australia - should be about 90 degrees with 90% humidity, just peachy.

All in favor say aye!

Brad, look on the bright side. They don't even wear wet T-shirts in the gentlemens club in Manila.

Sorry to hear about Grandma, Rick.

I only go to support the local economy. Poor girls are working their way through college, and have to do some ""out of the ordinary things".
It's my duty.

My '91 year old mom in a wheelchair in a nursing home was very depressed for a long time.
A couple of months ago the doctor put her on an anti-depressant, Celexa.
It has made an unbelievable change for the better in her mental state.

Rick - sorry to hear that. She was doing so much better, too! Maybe some medication would help her feel better.
