Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Tomorrow should be the big day: take it off the jacks, add coolant, prime the float bowls and test fire. Only a 2 month setback, grrrr. Wish me luck and a dry garage floor!
I only say this to make you feel better. I'm two months away from getting back into the garage (but I'm working as I can in the basement). It'll be -3 degrees tomorrow night. (Fargo, ND will have a wind chill of -65 degrees tonight!) A third of my 184 wires are strewn all over the place; the others are on the spool. I might run this year, but it's looking doubtful. It's still the best hobby there is!
