With the tranny in Murray and the axle work and springplates and the backing 
plates done and the wheels and tires on him, I have attached the reciever 
bracket (pipe?) onto the lift and am using the engine stand stuck onto the 
lift, so I can raise and lower the engine to any height I want. Groovy.

So now I am taking the engine tin all off and put new gaskets under the 
alternator stand, the fuel pump and the oil pump and cleaning everything really 
well. I took off the intake manifols to the dua Kadrons. I have not done this 
for many years and I found a couple of the screws that hold down the fan 
shroud, some washers and a penny. A penny. How did a penny get there?

Last night I rebuilt both carbs and spent some time on the phone with Dan 
(Chuck wouldn't answer, his phone when caller ID showed him it was me) trying 
to figure out how the fuel pump lever could operate when the action of the 
little lever with the spring is pushing when it should be pulling to have any 
effect, but, oh well, I put them back together and they look great all clean.

There was mud in the float bowls.

        Remind me. Mike Hampton used to call, but I guess he got tired.

              No kiddding about the snow.  I just looked out.  Good thing I 
drove the Subaru today.  I'm surprised that you haven't seen more eagles than 
that being on the lake.  A while back I saw 8 in a day over by Huntsville.  If 
you need some help with Murray, I could lend a hand on Thursday evening for a 
couple hours.

                Dispite the weatherman who said that the weather would stay 
cold but clear up, it is snowing right now and starting to accumulate. 

                I let the dogs out and there was a big freaking Bald Eagle 
soaring almost motionless just above the boat dock. Big and almost black with 
bright white head and tale.
                I had only seen one eagle in the previous two years and now I 
have seen three in two weeks.
