I am here, Ich bin hier Je suis ici




 Well it is the frozen North . 8 degrees F this morning. Long past the funny stage and if  someone talks about global warming this week i am gonnna wack them.  We are ten degrees below normal and more for over a week. Cindy! Nice to se you here.  Thanks for Upholstery tips. They worked. 
I have been here trying to behave watching the discussions. 
Stories? Ok, here is a true one. 
Long ago in the early seventies i built a 63 Dodge post car. I bought a 426 hemi and redid it with 12.5 to ones,  a torqueflight and a Dana.  I street drove it for awhile .( Pic on my sympatico website) One night me and John Morton  (Mortons Crane Service Belleville )were cruising through Belleville. A fellow pulled up beside me at the lights at College and  North front. " What is in that" he asked. " "It's a big six" I replied. He was driving a big block fury and montioned did i want to run. I nodded. When the light changed i stayed right beside him never even going out of the primary front barrels. When I figured he was all done I buried the pedal. John muttered some unrepeatable words and we dissappeared in that characterisc little black puff of smoke hemis give when you floor all 8 barrels.  We waited for him at the next light.  "I thought you said that was a big six ?" he shouted angrily.  "It is!" I replied with a big grin, "Its a Four Twenty Six!!!!!" and with that we sped away into the night. I think John stil tells that story once a week even these days 30 years later. 
There . now I am going back by the fire . It is too dang cold here.
