Well, the bad news isn't so much bad as it is embarrassing, but I'll get there in a bit.
The good news was that yesterday was our chapter's monthly meeting. It was the annual ice cream social, and the weather was amazing! (I posted piles of pictures on my blog this morning.) Our president hosted the event, which was nice, as I've never had a chance to see their family's "compound" before. What a collection! Many of the cars lined up on the lawn belonged to their family, and their basement was a treasure trove of memorabilia. Truly neat.
Anyway, at the meeting, the club voted to allow me to get our club online with a website. This is great news. One thing I'll say about our group is that they "get" the importance of marketing to the next generation. We had several families around my age at the event yesterday, and it was nice to see that my son wasn't the only toddler in Studedom. So I'm excited to get going, and hopefully we'll have a site running to at least a prototype level before the next meeting.
Okay, the bad news. I officially need to service my sending unit. It's read "full" for over a week, except for a spell two or three days ago when it told me 3/4 tank. So I assumed that the full reading was just a short somewhere, and that I really had close to the 3/4 tank from the day it seemed to be working. WRONG! I got about half way home from the meeting, and the car runs out of gas. Oops! So now I'll be tracing my wiring in the next couple days. Fortunately, those forward thinking geniuses at Studebaker made that nifty sending unit access port in the trunk, so it won't be as hard as it would on just about every modern car out there.
Ah well. You win some, you lose some.
