I am unsure
All that I know is that I would like to drive the Ghia one last time with decent weather. Wifey and I really have nothing to do. We don't do Bars and we have no kids usually Halloween is boring. The other big problem is that I have no idea of where to go.

How about you cruise out to the house and witness trick or treat here? We usually have asloppy joes or some like that and watch as the kids come to the door and then walk around with TJ an Czoey while they do their bounty gathering. Let me know , Later Kenn

After talking with wifey I think that we are just going to spend Halloween driving in the Ghia alone just the 2 of us. Kind of like a date night. Bren keeps saying how M89 is such a nice scenic road I may just travel down it for something to do.
Thanks for your offer Kenn you have fun with your family and I will have fun with mine.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I was so looking forwarded to cruise around in the Ghia tonight. I went out to the garage with Leanne I hoped in the car fired it up backed it out of the garage. Dead it just died nothing it cranked cranked and cranked but no vroom. The Ghia ran so nice last night. My wife was some how able to pull me away from spending all night figuring out the problem. I think she used some kind of female mind control. If you know me its a hard thing for me to be pulled away from a problem.
I am glad she did because I had a wonderful time we drove the truck to Red Robin. Had an excelent time with good food after that Leanne and I sat down and watched season 3 of Robot Chicken.
I will have to investagate the Ghia problem later but I don't think I am getting fuel.
I also need to find out this female mind control that she uses on me. Some how I need fix it and use it for good. Not evil like she uses it on me (Good thing she is sleeping now and not reading this)
So how was your Halloween?

Holloween was cool. Give up on the mind control thing, if man figures it out it would be the end of the world. Sure its fuel and not spark?? Glad I ditched the points and went to Electronic ign. Also had some fuel pump problems so replaced that last month. Robot chicken did a great star wars deal, other than that I have not seen much of it.

Robot Chicken is a great show! My Halloween could have been better but could have been worse as well. I went down to my friends restaurant because he said there was going to be a rock band playing and it turned out to be a rap group. Not interested so we hung out upstairs in the restaurant area for a while then went back to another friends house and played video games.

Hey ya all, I had a great time with the grandkids had supper and got ready. Czoey has decided she is to old for trick and treat(at 11) so she stayed with Grandma and handed out the candy. While TJ dressed as Harry Potter went with his Mom, Dad and I, walking along, talking to neighbors and keeping an watchful eye on him. Not as many kids go through the neighborhod as they use to, so Trentin made out like a bandit, coming home with a bucket of candy. He even shared with his sister, as he and his mom sorted through the stash. Then the three of us went out and played in the leaves that I spent all day Friday raking up into a big pile. After the kids went home. Karen and I went over to neigbors who had a campfire going anfd visited with them until 10pm. And the rest as they say is history. Later Kenn

Its always been a family tradition to head back to my wifes hometown..Durand Mi, for our small town trick or treat fest. It was a first for our new grandbaby, only 6 months old, so the ghouls and goblems ohh'd and aww'd over her, dressed as a little kitty cat. The highlight of my night was when my stepson was standing out by the road, holding the candy sack, as our grandbabies Momma went up to the house. A group of kids walked by, and we heard the comment " its pretty sad when your 30 and still trick or treating"..I busted a gut, as my stepson went into a rage, saying..dude..I am only 22, this isnt my candy, etc etc.. ahh, the joys of parenthood Happy Hallloween all ;D

AJ. It's the pop-out door with the cap on it, when the gauge says E it's time open it up, get out the wallet and give the cashier some of that green paper in there and give it the choice regular, mid grade or premium. Pull the lever and presto. The dial clocks around and when it stops you fire it up and head down the road until the next time it says E and do it again. just funning with you man, glad to hear its a go!! Can you say operator Error, there I go again can't help myself. Later Kenn

My wife had that problem last week, "but it said I had like 15 miles until it was empty". Good thing I was working close by, or her and the kid would've had to walk to the gas station.

Yes yes yuck it up I ran out fo gas. My gas gauge is not working correctly. The night before it said I had 1/2 a tank I went for a 30 minute drive. Then I parked the car in the garage. The next day I fired it up and drove it out of the garage thats when it died. I must have just made it home on fumes the night before talk about luck. I should have bought a lottery ticket that night because I was golden.

Their is a guy in our club that fixed my gas gauge maybe he could help you with yours. Oh wait a minute that was you!! Better get cracking man or maybe just watch the miles driven for awhile, lucky it happened at home rather then 20 miles from nowhere in the middle of BFE, at night with all them ghosts, gobblings, witches and vampires to suck your blood, around on that night.
