T/D6591Nick, I had a bad day dealing with a none working computer. Going to pick up my new computer and spending most of the day loading program. This for a complete computer dummy like me made for a bad day. And then to top it off I have been dealing with a pain in my right knee that is slowing me done. The joys of getting older.

J178REDMoe , Didn’t mean to bust your balls! I hate computer problems , you need an IT guy like the person I have . He’s smart enough to just completely disappear if he can’t fix it. LOL
Been there done that Surgery on right knee 33 years ago , and may I say it was no fun. Still goes snap crackle pop with every step, but I got use to it years ago.

"The Bender"It was great to have Big stop by the shop.

He had some stories and some "opinions" about the current state of drag racing. One story in particular about Kalitta was quite colorful, I'm sure you can just imagine. He did have some questions about my car and was very suprised that a Powerglide is able to withstand this power level.
And yes, he does look great for 85........
And Steve,
