Lotsa Running Around in the Heat

Recovering from the nearly unbearably hot day today: worst I saw was 112 downtown. Also recovering today is one of my two cats, who gets to hang out at the cat hospital over the weekend for observation - kidney problems.

Car-wise, I had a friend come over and do a little frame work, otherwise, I was errand- and parts-running today. Took care of some civic volunteerism things today (yeah, I'm one of those guys). Picked up $1.55 worth of brake hold down parts from the brake place, dropped off my front Model A spring to open the eyes to 3/4" so I can use old Ford shackle studs, and checked on my starter and generator: generator was in, starter still awaiting Bendix. Finally, got my Ford gaskets and shackle studs that were shipped yesterday.

The hilarious thing is I got the parts shipped in time for the weekend, but nothing else is ready to go with them: spring (Wed), starter and generator (Tues, maybe Wed), carbs and distributor (ETA unknown).

I guess this means I'm working on brakes and the rear end this weekend.
