That would be this. Two weeks late, but who’s counting? I might actually get the ‘69 short-stepper running for more than 3 seconds of starter fluid this weekend. I’m just dying to figure out how much other crap is broken on this thing…kinda hard to if it’s not running.

Check out this sweet valve cover, too:

Too much glam?

I took a couple of hours yesterday and drove up north a little bit to find a campground for the winter. I flat can’t sleep outdoors when it’s hot, but winter camping is great — nice fire, good bourbon, warm sleeping bag, umbrella of stars. I found a place that reminds me a great deal of the old Tiny Bidness, and apparently, according to the nice lady who answers the phone, they get zero traffic during the winter. Thanks, wimpy South Texans! No showers, but it’s close enough that I could drive home to do that if it bothered me enough. I’ll maybe go after Thanksgiving…bidness has me hopping this month, and most of December, too.
