The filter was missing my wife and I have no recollection of where it went. This morning I am going to give that heater a thorough cleaning and put it back together to the point of just being able to install the heating elements when they arrive.It is 45°F, supposed to get to 62° today, maybe I will get to work on the '69 GMC. I am not making it my main priority since most of the day laying under it would be a bit on the cool side, but if I don't get to it today I will have to wait a few days. It is supposed to rain Sunday and Monday. That means if I don't just do it I need to drag my cherry picker around back and put it away out of the weather. I would rather finish the job, but I hate to lay on the asphalt when it's below 60°F and there is not going to be much time over 60°F today. I may just have to talk myself into doing it despite the extra aches and pains. Wow, I have gotten wimpy, LOL. The thing is I enjoy wrenching with perfect weather conditions. I think I have talked myself into just doing it today. Time will tell! I have LOTS of other things to do, choices, choices, choices... Oh No, it's from the Hamburgers! I didn't think of that. I predict it's going to get worse then, LOL.

Ordered a mini fridge for the Red Shed....
probably wants his TV to be one of them new fangled colored TVs.
Bill, I did the same thing this morning. It's the weather, gray and gloomy and raining a little. Need some fishing tackle may venture across the bridge to PCB while the traffic is slack. I hate going over the Hathaway bridge, it is a six lane nightmare during the day, it's even worse during spring break and summer vacation. They (DOT) finally finished the fly over at 23rd street so that helped with piling up at the light, the fly over for Thomas drive has been completed for some time and that stopped a lot of rear ending at that light.
I was up at 4:00 AM this morning, about 7:00 I saw a rabbit on my security monitor and I grabbed my Woods Walker and went out to see if I could shoot any. NOPE, I did not see one rabbit while patrolling the property stealthily twice, using road noise from below as cover. I realized my keys to my VTX were missing after I put it away last night. I thought I may have left them in the bike, I looked this morning and they were not there. I searched pockets again, and then places I may have set them down inadvertently and didn't find them. I thought about it and remembered I got my GMC keys out of my pocket right afterwards and that they may have been drug out of my pocket. I went to where I was when I got the truck keys out and sure enough they were there on the ground. I have never lost any keys, and am glad I didn't now. I have a habit of putting them in my left front pants pocket or in the same specific spot every time. Sunday school and Ch**ch from 10:00-12:00ish and Ch**ch at 5:00 PM. I think I am grilling Ribeye steaks for lunch? My wife has a head cold so she will be distancing and taking it easy today. She says she doesn't feel too bad but her ears and sinuses feel plugged and she has a cough or sneezes every once in while for the last few days. So far I have not got the symptoms. It is supposed to rain today and tomorrow. I installed the motor and transmission mounts yesterday afternoon, it me took 2 1/2 hours total this time. I put in Heavy Duty Poly mounts, mounts that should hold up real well.
