[Wish I could help ya David... my Mom made mine. -Maren] -David DOUGLAS ('62) ~ Mesa, AZ where we have to run our solar heater at night to cool off our swimming pool, and with the beginning of the monsoon season, it's not only hot but also humid. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: David RIVERS ('65) Re: I wouldn't believe it either, Jill BUTLER ('63) But it's true... Yesterday (Tuesday, 6/30) was one a them dayz... I had to play Judgie poo so I tested a couple a cars that actually do have A/C installed to try out a theory I've been tryin' on myself and told Jimmie ADAIR ('65-'67) about just cuz I hadda tell someone... A/C in the desert can be a big waste of time inna hot rod... because of the size of the engine compartment and particularly the shape of the nose... you might be able to get the hot air in... but getting it out ain't so easy... sometimes things that should have no effect at all can make a world of difference... don't argue thermodynamics with me... it's true... we have had some success running them as advanced as we can stand them... running different radiator caps and on and on... last year I had great luck advancing my roadster and running a 7 pound cap... it worked great... this summer not so good... so this summer I went the other way and tried 18-20 pound caps... so far so good... anyway I got the A/C car to stay cool but was low on freon so got ready for court and hit the trail in the Henry J... it was over 100° when I tested the '40 Ford earlier and as I left for court it was about 108°... for, I believe, the first time in my career, I didn't wear a suit... I started early as I had several cases with both sides there and things moved just fine. When the calendar was over I headed for the Rez to pick up cigs... got them and zap... car started, stopped and that was that... started checking "stuff" and called "Big Mike"... nothing was making sense... One of my buds was going home from Mike's so he stopped to help... after he had redone everything I had done we called Mike... no answers there... It was about 112° and thank goodness I brought a cooler of water (I never carry drinking water in town!) I called AAA and they said an hour and 6 minutes... cool... an hour later I called again... I had not charged my battery since CDNs [Cool Desert Nights] duh! I usually carry a new ignition switch and starter... this time I had the starter no switch and no test light (my other car was still packed from the L.A. Roadster Show)... At 9 PM I finally arrived at my house... ate something and went to bed one tired old geezer... Now had it been earlier... I would have jumped on the computer and sent a sweet and thoughtful HB to George "Pappy" SWAN ('59), Richard ANDERSON ('60) AND Jill BUTLER ('63) [on 7/1]... but it was not to be... instead... it was a test a test of the depth of my love and devotion to the dear Bomber-babe... and we passed the test of time (a whole day can be a long time ya know)... "AND OUR LOVE WILL GO ON TILL THE EEEEEEEEEEEEEND OF TIME... till the end of time... (Thanks Earl Grant... I owe ya!) Let's see now... I don't think I can stay out in the sun for 4 hours again today... the car didn't take long for me to fix this morning... but I don't think I wanna stand in the heat like that any more! So here we are again with another Bomber-babe Birthday... sure hope it's a good one! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jamie WORLEY ('64) on your special day, July 2, 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -David RIVERS ('65) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** That's it for today.
