Got a lot done today at school.
I engraved my last name in the valve covers.
took my weiand intake and sandblasted it.
Took some before and after pictures.

OrrieG · 05-21-2014, 04:57 PM

Nothin, but went to the hospital today to see this little gomer. Daughter went into labor yesterday evening, got to hospital at 12:50PM, couldn't pee in the cup so nurse took a look, saw the top of his head and all heck broke loose, he came out at 1:03AM (13 minutes later, almost in the hallway). Didn't have time for any drugs, etc. just two good pushes. Cool thing is 19 years ago I designed the Labor and Delivery and Post Partum Suites at the hospital where he was born and her best friend is a nurse there and helped out with the delivery. Mom and son are doing fine.

Jbm1956 · 05-21-2014, 05:03 PM

Glad everything went well. My wife is a labor and delivery nurse that happens more often then people think. Scary sometimes

**oldman3** · 05-21-2014, 07:17 PM

OrrieG, congrats to the parents and you...Jim

**Dan in Pasadena** · 05-21-2014, 09:18 PM

HUGE congratulations, Orrie!

My daughter-in-law is due with her first child (girl) in mid June. My daughter is due with her first child (also a girl) in mid July! Yup, TWO new granddaughters in a month, we can't wait!

tbrown5079 · 05-22-2014, 09:06 AM

Congrats there OrrieG. Nothing like having Grandchildren. We just kept our 2 and 4 year old for a week and I couldn't keep them out of the truck ( not that I wanted to.)

la hi · 05-22-2014, 09:55 AM

Burnt out my ign switch on the highway (3 miles from home) and had a AAA tow. rewired the three wires from the fuse box and the one from the starter, added a new switch (same model) and now it runs fine!!! till the next time?

Cute picture and kids. That little red head is going to be a handful when she gets older, I know that look! When I was a young man I dated a redhead for a year or so and she would get behind the wheel of my 57 truck with that same look.

I would be checking out the rest of the wiring too. I had the same issue back in the boonies, wire between the switch and starter shorted. I burned the heck out of my hand jerking the smoking wires out from under the dash. has to use a section of the rear taillight harness to hot wire it up to get home, no AAA in the wilderness.

Rambow · 05-22-2014, 01:04 PM

bought a year of manufacture licence plate to register with our truck:

My wifes name is Tracy and its her truck... so thought this was a great plate. Correct metal '53 tab is also on its way :thumbsup:
