Signs of Spring
We've had some 8 or 9 days of just rain and clouds..
So today it looked like the clouds might part and let the sun through.. I couldn't wait and brought the car to the house for a bath.. it was embarrasing to have all the Model A guys razzing me for such a dirty ride!
They just don't seem to understand patina!
Here's the car at the new house lookin' towards the workshop.

The daily driver has to go to the dealer... so.. the coupe has to earn a paycheck for a coupe days.
Not really a big deal but 60(ish) miles one way at 5 am.. on the backroads... should be interesting.. at least the turkeys and the deer will hear me coming now! LOL.

No, Ocean Spray (THE major player in cranberries) has the market sewn up and won't let anyone prosper who isn't in their control. We do keep the bogs alive / watered but we lose more money each year now. It's to much of an investment to let it go fallow but there is no one for us to sell to - so we sell at a loss. Our previous buyer quit the fight with Ocean Spray and jumped the border into Canada where the government keeps a level playing field between farmers and buyers.
Now, back to cars! LOL.. I made it to work in fine fashion.. LOL everyone oohs and ahhs over the car and they are taking turns sitting in it. Best part was I got to work without attracting any visits from the dept of public safety!! ROFL...

Sorry to hear about your losses on your crops. That is no good at all! Glad to hear you didn't have any run ins with the wild life or DPS.Ryan

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...
