Russ, at this stage of the game my goal is not to be alarming people right into a early heart attack, besides, if you ride nekkid, which side can you tuck LOL ....

Use a banana seat and then no tucking required.

Feeling good Russ, thanks for asking.

Speaking of water pumps, I once changed one in a 67 chevelle small block in -9 degree temps.
To young and dumb to have the car towed to where it was warm.

Vikes are behind 7 to 38, I'm having doubts about a Superbowl win.

Better to lose now than to go 0-5 in bowl games.

No sand yet, blizzard still en route, depending on which station you listen to though.
