I'll end with these 2 for now.. something a little different. Not a name you'd associate with speed in a everyday setting.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

For me, it's always been bothersome that they were only open from 2-4pm M-F, but I had never heard the explanation before. Dave Severson mentioned that Bill was the same way at the track, if the people started coming into the pits to rub shoulders with the racers he would head to his Suburban to hide , especially if there were kids in the bunch. I guess he just didn't much care for the kids with their sticky hands, and tendency to climb
The new format, with the entire collection displayed and open hours to allow several hours, or even a day plus to wander at my own speed fits my style much, much better. I expect that I'll wait for the announcement that the new space is open before I invest the three hour drive to LincolnRoger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

What's the old saying, "Promises are cheap, Honor is priceless"... The lost art of honoring a promise is said to be blowing in the wind. I will do it. I promise, unless a gust of wind blows it out of the mind of commitment.....
I'm saying that the new format, with open hours throughout the day, no tours, no one controlling pace or position, suits me much better than a two hour tour led by some doofus volunteer. When the time comes we'll see if it fits.Roger

I'm still wiping the drool off the key pad !!!!!!!! What a cool museum. It's just been added to my bucket list!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
