    I want to see Midland but the closest show is a five hour drive to St. Louis and they are the opening act/guest. Plus I don't do stadium shows. That's a lot of time and $ for an hour or less of show and probably an overnight stay.

    The big Kansas avenue car show/cruise night is usually this weekend, but I can't find anything about it on the internet.
    Emailed the radio station and they said it will be in August this year. Not sure if that is better or worse. I am busy with the swap meet anyway.

    Seen a few plates on cars lately with the paint eaten off of them. IDK if the paint is defective or what? Mine is eight or so years old and never had a problem.
    I am off next week so of course it's going to rain all week. Everything happens at the same time. NASCAR races in KC this weekend as well as our big swap meet at the fairgrounds, car shows, and cruise nights. Plus its the only time I could go to the drive in theater if I really wanted to go.

    Definitely not the car I would want to have to build from just a VIN tag, that's for sure. I've seen it done with super rare Chevelles and Road Runners ect., but I would think it would be really difficult to find a good donor car for a Torino, and there is much less aftermarket support. Cool car, and I hope some crazy millionaire finds it so it can live again.

    https://www.youtube.com/@PoleBarnGarage wouldn't want that thing. Reminds me of Gone in 60 Seconds when they stole a car and swapped all the vin #s and locks off a wrecked one.

    Been finding straw and acorn shells on top of the engine. The wires were wrapped in cloth tape and the harness has the plastic split tubing on it.

    Damn squirrels ate all the injector wiring off my Camaro one time. They like soybean oil I guess.

    Dug out the scan tool and it said coil 3. Turns out two of the three wires were broken off. Same thing happened to my last car (08 Charger). It runs better now that I stuck the wires back together and half ass soldered them. We'll see how it goes. I blame the rodents. I would rather have changed a coil or plug.

    My car was fine in the morning but eight hours later it is now missfiring or something. Light came on so I will see if I can find my scan tool. Looked at the top of the engine briefly thinking it was a coil or plug wire. Didn't see anything but it was dark outside. Threw the parts cannon at my last car and never got it solved.

    As the humble winner of a couple of small chili contests, yes it has beans! Preferably Joan of Arc chili hot beans.

    Pondering where to pile the snow that’s on the way, running out of room.

    The Wichita swap meet is this weekend. I quit going years ago. Mom doesn't live there anymore and its almost three hours one way in the car. Costs a tank of gas and entry fee. They don't usually have anything I want and the car won't hold anything too big. Last time I went they had it divided between two properties and now its held at the lesser of the two.
    So basically not much reason to go.
