Good Friends Visiting

Last night, inexplicably, became the night for car friends to visit.

I'd barely begun putting the groceries away when my friend who was to have come by on Sunday stopped by with his SoCal friend building a similar roadster. I let them in the garage as I threw the cold items in the fridge and freezer. Went out, toured them around the heaps of parts, and talked shopped for awhile while my bachelor special (pizza) cooked in the oven. Ding! Went the timer, and off went those guests.

No sooner had I sat down then my other friend came by with my rebuilt carburetors! Got a whole milk crate ("don't lose that milk crate," he told me) full of my two rebuilt Holley 94s and a bunch of extra parts (were there supposed to be extra parts left over?). After sitting that down and scarfing some of my dinner (as it were), and with it approaching 8:30, another friend called, and I had to beg off until eating something.

Anyway, finally got my carburetors, don't know the final price tag, but they look good. Hope they work as well as they look. Just waiting on the same old guy for my distributor...not sure when that's due.

Nothin' on the car tonight; wiped from work, and a little social conversation and cooking consumed the evening.
