Anyone needing a nice Dell PC?

I have one for sale or trade. It is ready to go with 17" monitor, 512 Meg RAM, 60 gig HD, Windows XP Pro, MS Office Pro, lost of other software and 10 gig's of music. It will be in the garage for easy demo and will be used for music, unless MOGolf says it is in his way.

Man you want to spend the whole day working on your car???

PS: Almost forgot to mention I have a set of low ramps that only get used at GTG's .

 

[burpod]

yah, i need to work on it . i'm worried that when i get back up to MN things will get put off and pretty soon it's going to be real cold. we'll see i at least would like to get the panzer on, which i think i can do myself, but a helping hand to hold a wrench would be nice. i just don't want to put off the frostheater/oil cooler any longer, plus i would like to do it all at once - that would save time i'll be in the black golf from MN, hopefully arriving <10am (staying with a friend in STL friday night)

Well it only got down to 37* here last night, and the forcast is for mid to upper 60's today. My guess is 68 to 70* today.

Record cool high temperature for October 12 recorded at Paducah.

The high temperature at Paducah on October 12 was 52 degrees at 3:44 P.M. This broke the record for the lowest high temperature for the date, which was 55 degrees in 1959. The high was 21 degrees below the normal high of 73.
The unusually cold air will not last very long, as southerly winds develop over the weekend. The warmer and more humid air will eventually lead to the chance of showers and thunderstorms next week. This activity will be associated with a potentially significant storm system moving northeastward from the southern Plains.

I could be interested, we will talk when I get there
Heading South now.......(9am est)

BioD in Missouri?

so what's the story with BioD in the area? i'll be coming down from Omaha, thru KC then over to St Louis to drop people off, then straight down 67. i can make it all the way down no problem, and probably even back up to St Louis on saturday night. but i'll need to fill sometime before i start back for Omaha. i'd like B20 since it's been getting down to 30 degrees in omaha at night lately, but will take B100 b/c most of it will be used up before i get home anyway. i don't currently use any homebrew since i can't afford a new IP.

thanks

Here is a link to the MFA and other brand s that have stations in MO selling Bio fuel. http://www.biodiesel.org/buyingbiodiesel/retailfuelingsites/showstate.asp?st=MO This is about the best I can do for you.

 

[ensanity]

alot of you will be passing through willow springs, the mfa there sells b2, no not b20, but b2. if any of you passing through Springfield wanna meet up and caravan the rest of the way that would be cool, if so lets get the discussion going.
Cant wait till tomorrow
Nick

Jerry Stringer wins the prize for being first in town.

 

[MrErlo]

how bout regular D2 then?

yah, i checked every link on that site, and no one in the area sells any better than B2. so i think i'll just bring my "emergency 5gal" of B100 and mix with D2 myself.

OldNavy, who's your fuel supplier in town?

Grrr, I despise that map. It's frustrating when you do not know where all the cities in MO (or any other state) are, and only get directed to a page text listing all the locations. One ends up having to click EVERY city to find out what is on one's path. Not friendly at all. Sorry I don't have a better solution... I just needed to vent.

On a brighter note, Paramedick and I should be heading out this afternoon, with a trunkload of tools attempting to rival MOGolf. Where I will stop for fuel, who knows...

 

[ensanity]

burpod, I would be more than happy to wrench with you. I love being in the middle of stuff, but I think I would be in mogolf's way. someone else wanted a door panel pulled off, i could do that as well.

 

[MrErlo]

door

that's my door panel. i need to get a look at my passenger door inside handel, my dumb a** roommate broke it for me. since i've never taken it apart before i figured i'd ask for some help. thanks, i look forward to meeting you tomorrow.

I don't buy in town, I buy it at Dexter MO, about 25 miles east of here on highway 60.

Where in Dexter? I will be coming right thru there on the way in. Any BioD to be had there?

Does anyone need the following-
OEM Alumimum Skid plate? (with hardware, Diesel geek sold these a few years ago) $150, new never installed, with some hardware, but not all I suspect.

Woofie2--we're going to skip out on the skid plate since we aren't sure about the hardware status. If we got it we'd want to put it on this weekend, and it sounds like that's not an option.

That's ok, it will be in the car,
I know it is missing at least two bolts, for the rear, and possibly the front mounting posts (depending on which howto you use)

 

[Bookerdog]

Going to be loading up the car in about an hour for a stay at the Pear Tree Inn tonight. Cardinals Baseball, a hotel room, and a day with diesel heads. Sounds like a right nice vacation.

I'll grab a couple dozen KK's just before I hit the Highway.

Walt, I'm planning on being over about 6:30 tomorrow. I may swing by tonight just to see if you've got company, I don't know. I'm planning on taking the senic route down 67. I've seen that stretch of 55 more times than I can count.

OLD NAVY,

be at your place between 8 and 9 in the morning....
Happy Days! My car is getting a fortitude injection!!

Bill

 

[paramedick]

Cosmic and I are in town.

I might have some extra skidplate rivnuts with me. I'll know for sure in the morning when I look in the whatnot box.

 

[cosmic]

Paramedic and I made it in.... see you all in the AM

 

[burpod]

[ensanity]
