O.K. Dave, it's gotta' be gettin' warmer and muddy out there in the Nevada scrub lands, time to stop lookin' out the kitchen window and wishin'. We've all been REAL patient waitin' for ya' to git' back to work on the Starship, LETS GO MAN !!!!.

Well, the mud is finally dryin' out. Guess what....the "W" man is callin' for snow again this Sat.

Sheeesh....

, enough is enough.

The next weekend is my new start date. My B-day is commin' up and I'd like nuthin' more than to get back to work on the "Starship" next Fri.

Sat. is my B-day, so I'll unload the "Starship" on Fri. and start with some wiring on Sat. There are so many little things to take care of before the launch.
I'll get a thread started for "454 in a tree Part 2" after the 23rd.

( weather permitting of course......

)

Well happy birthday! Mine was in January but I don't like to broadcast it 'cause I'm tired of the "old man" wise cracks We've had a good winter here too, more like it should be with sizable snow-falls and some good cold weather, like it's supposa' be. The cold weather has kept me pretty busy here in the heating and cooling industry, with the Michigan economy in the dumpster people are fixin' the equipment they have and not replacing too much. This has kinda' put my Vette project in low gear 'cuz I was thinkin' I'd have a couple week layoff to get things done on her.

Have a good B-day!

Heck you'll be able to play in the snow.

Where's global warming when we need it.

One of coldest winters we've had in years back here.

You youngsters really make us "old" guys feel old.

Just press a little harder on the pedle to the right, let the years blow away in the wind. You'll feel like one of us kids in no time.

My older brother came up with a good way to note your age, Kinda like software... Dave you would be version 39.17

Works for me. I'm version 39.8 just waitin' for my next upgrade in June.

Happy "Release date" Brother.
