I almost forgot to mention the 6×9″ speakers Santa left under the tree for me, which will fill two jagged holes in the inner bulkhead and finally provide some form of in-flight entertainment. The current radio will stay until I make a proper DIN-sized cutout in one of the spare dash panels I’ve got, and then I’ll replace it with the old Kenwood from the Jeep. Thanks, Santa!

Finn and I had to run a few errands this morning, and we stopped to admire this slick roadster.

Santa brought me, among other things, the Dave Emmanuel book for my Thermo-Quad. With this, a copy of the 1972 Chrysler manual, and a copy of the 1982 Federal Mogul manual, I should be in pretty good shape. I’m going to pick up a second spare carb in January for dis-assembly and tinkering so that I’ve got a complete bench model and one for practice.

I’m thrilled that the 9/11 bill was passed, after years of inaction by the federal government. I find it ironic that Jon Stewart’s focus on the situation is being credited as the thing that made the difference.

This makes me long for the days when things were simpler and people actually said what they thought: Epic 1974 Letter From Cleveland Browns to a Fan. Read and be entertained.
