Well - not a fathers day gift but Donna and I bought Stu Bailey’s 120 custom
hitch and trailer last Friday. It’s a black motorcycle trailer with red
leapers painted on the sides and a silver growler face mounted on the front.
Great for picnic stuff and luggage for a long trip. I’ll post pictures soon.

i got a bottle of Grey Goose Citron vodka. I guess that counts… john
shuck

My son gave me a KAL Equip. digital thermometer with 3 probes
liquid
gas
surface
Temperature Gauge on the 40 Buick reads a little high, which makes me feel a
little better as it was reading a hair over F.180 returning from the Jersey
Jag-Lovers Picnic a week or so ago but that means it was only F. 171, per the
digital thermometer!
QUESTION?
The exhaust gas temperature reads F. 549 What does that mean? High, low, OK?

I do not have any children yet, so I went and picked up my XK150 from Great Falls, Montana (delivered there from San Fran)
and brought it home where it now safely resides in my garage. I think I will open the garage door and sit down in the
sun with a cold beer and admire it. Photos to follow.–

It depends on where you are measuring it, but at the manifold, that’s
about normal. The temp on my XJ6 is about 650F at the manifold and 750F
at the cat.

A kitchen pass for golf, breakfast in bed from three children in fake togas
and palm fans (breakfast was edible) and dinner with friends and three
bottles of 1992 Pine Ridge 1992 Cab - NO big presents but a great day

Sounds like a grand Father’s Day!

If your house is still standing I would say that is a BIG gift, although
not from your kids…

A thread that needs to be resurrected.

Dad, it’s been 23 years, since you went to the Great Repair Shop: hardly a day goess by that your lessons and love are not thought of, fondly.

This song says it all.

Happy Father’s Day, to all our Dads.

On this 2023 version of Father’s Day, this is my tribute to dear old Dad… and to everybody’s old man!

What a beautyful tribute, Paul…
Today, my father got the message from the road traffic licensing department that he has to stop driving - after 65 accident free years…
That makes me humble and I remember all the countless kilometers he drove us… My old men…
