SAN JACINTO DAY---

THE SUN IS SHINING, IT'S 49 DEGREES AND CALM. A PRETTY DAY IN STORE, 63 FOR THE HIGH.

MEXICAN POLITICS ARE, OF COURSE, INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO GRINGOS, BUT HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE TIME PRESIDENT ANTONIO LOPEZ de SANTA ANNA? CALLED HIMSELF "NAPOLEON OF THE WEST", OVERTHREW THE CONSTITUTION, IN 1836 HE LOST HIS ARMY AND TEXAS, IN 1845 HE LOST HIS ARMY AND NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA. THE COMEBACK KID?

NOTHING ON THE AGENDA TODAY, CHILLY OUTSIDE. DOG AND I FED, THE FRONT PORCH GUARD CAT PETTED, ALLES GUT AM GRISHEIM.

ALL THE BEST TO YOU GURUS!

Morning guys... Chilly and cloudy this morning. Promises to warm up through the week. Yesterday we had a really pretty snow, ground was warm enough though that it didn't stick, but the moisture was good to have.

We had a funeral yesterday, for the mother of a friend, and member of our church. She led a good life and passed on her 94th birthday. I helped father with the service and then went over and helped with the ladies with serving the dinner.

Church a couple hours after that...First Communion, so a really full church. After that, I was spent. In bed early.

Nothing really planned for today. Tomorrow, 8am I have a chiropractor appointment.

sunny and colder here.... get this blip over and much warmer time coming.... changed out the rear end lube and tranny lube yesterday on the 64.... I wanted to put in my new stuff to get things started off right. Used an 80W90 dino in the rear... Detroit Locker says no synthetics.... and Royal Purple 75W90 in the 4 speed gearbox....

Got the correct step up springs in the carb so the fuel enrichment circuits are fully closed at idle.... went with a lighter spring set. cam is making about 9 lbs of vacuum at idle.... yeah.... normal cam is like 18 to 20.... car is more responsive and idles well.....

We did find what is making the rattling noise in the back... the shocks at the top mount are banging around every time the car moves.... got a new set of KBY gas shocks coming that fit the car..... progress one day at a time.....

onward Christian soldiers .... enjoy Guru's

Bye, bye, bye. Maybe I'll get a chance to drop in over the next couple of weeks. We shall see. Adios amigos and amiga.

Enjoy that vaca, I'm bout ready for one.
Topped out at 65 today with sun, but the breeze made it feel colder. Nothing happening here today, we slept in, laid around then hit a flea market or two and piddled off the rest of the day, he vacuumed pool and I made dinner and that's been it. 39 tonight but it'll be just for about 3 hours, plants better fight for their lives. Sun will hit them first thing at 39 but radiant heat will keep em I think. No frost so should be fine.
Doc appointment tomorrow at 130 just right in the middle of the day to mess it up, but after the dizzy spell I had last saturday, figured I'd better get it seen about. I feel I just overdid myself and depleted me of some electrolytes or something. I've been hydrating with some drink mix that has extra hydration and 7 different electrolytes so it's been okay now, but best get it checked out.
