glad I’m not staying with you guys….
 
Already patched the pedal problem. 63 year old rubber socket for the rod ball broke.

Broke off part superglueded for now.

I think I found a source for a newly manufactured pedal and some other parts I need, especially shifter linkages parts as she’s a little sloppy.

she doesn’t accelerate well, and that’s due to slop in the accelerator linkage… but I’m not in a hurry.

she’s ready for paint estimates and mvd tomorrow.

engine vent and dipstick are all one piece. I already cleaned the vent and I’ll look for my oring kit tomorrow.

I already ordered the side view mirrors off the ebays.

I’m going back to the garage now to verify the color code, hard to tell if it was “autumn sunset” or “frost white”

Well done sir. I'll never forget the look on my brother's face when I fixed his wide open throttle problem with a condom. Throttle return spring broke.

We're just kiddin' :D
I think this is going to the next show, it has a bit different voice than the others, the Thunderbuckers are nice, different from my Lulls, with the Bugera it's got a very nice, tight midrange and bass to it, almost like John Taylor's tone on early DD stuff.

Our third 3-set Bond Girl show at The No Name Bar in Sausalito on the main drag tonight - tiny stage - I'm religated to the floor! We dress a bit more formal these days - we shed our tuxes for a few gigs for a change.

Cherie's current bf will attend tonight. He's a musician (drummer) who I've jammed with for years. She said she feels nervous that he will be there. I told her if I hear her messing up, I'll play something worse to distract him.
