Char had a nice Fathers Day note with the brownies...So I started to tell her the story and she interrupts and sez are you the guy in the alley with the axe or the gun....I tell her the gun...she sez yeah I took that call and your'e home is behind us right?.....Damn there's a guy in my neighborhood running around with an axe?....thats nutz! <lmao> Wash

My buddy had a full machine shop for engine building..dyno ..the whole works.We spent days and nites working on the engines and boat. all the good stuff came from Cali...I remember when the twin turbo kit came in from the freight company...all these boxes crated up...so we unpacked the stuff cause the long block was ready...got to the last box looking for instructions...there wasnt any...so called up the guy and told him we got no instructions...he told me there arnt any, and that we will figure it out ! I had 3 habits back then engines/boats...gambling...which paid for the boats...and women...which took all my $hit away :) Wash
  7. Chase I had nitrous 482 in a lake boat...then a 482 Race Aero twin turbo lake boat...it had a 1320 Doug Dye carb on it..it was intercooled and put out 35 lbs of boost thereabouts...crazy Doug came to Dallas to put it on my engine...he wouldnt sell it to me without him bringing it...scared the crap outta him with that boat it was a Youngblood tunnel that I money raced with before I started racing in the SDBA...then I ran blown gas in an Eliminator picklefork jet.. won the highpoint championship two years in a row in the early 80's. We were limited to 503 ci....had three motors...one was a Yenko block Chevy with Arias hemi 3 pushrod heads...took it out to Cali twice ......then the day we won the second championship I stopped racing...cold turkey...traded all my crap for a cabin cruiser!.... this was back when I was single...met my first wife...she was a dragboat groupie...that deal lasted a year....lol...took longer to get rid of her than the marriage Ha ...Damn im glad there wasnt cell phones and social media back then...the stories.. I used to pit alongside of Rick Hendricks when he came to Texas....drag boats is where he started waaay back before he got into NASCAR... btw there wasnt capsules back then...you sat in the bucket with a firesuit ,ballistic underware, and a parachute strapped on your back . :) Wash

  9. I was the first guy in Texas to use nitrous on a 482 chevy lake boat...Phuck...when I pushed that button...yes only a button in 1978 that thing jumped out of the water and then ran like a scalded cat....gained an extra 1000 rpms So now ive got a 150 fogger with window switch,tank heater and nitrous puter in the Zo6 402 stroker . Only used it bout three times. Once on the chassis dyno...got almost 700hp to the tires...once on the strip 145/ 9 something and once on the tollway where I spunout at night from a 60 punch and did a 360....all done...never used it again. but back to 1978...needed to fill the tank on the boat...called my dentist buddy and he told me who to call...so they come out pick up the tank fill it and bring it back...logistics were bad...took too long...so the gas service guy told me just to order a blue tank,so I did...got the adaptors and wholly crap this big ol truck pull up and unloads a big welding size tank...we put it in the living room of my patio home...well you know where im going with this,cause its medical grade...no sulfur added back in the day....we did have some parties going on! crap ...we would just open the tank and ler rip in the living room...its a wonder im still alive! couldnt pull a vaccum to refill the small tank the correct way.. but who cared when you got big momma in the living room <lmao> Wash Yes...Im queer for horsepower !

    I gotta come clean.....both of my neighbors on either side of me hate me <lmao> the one in the suit..its all his fault in the first place...two years ago when we moved in i noticed the tree on ours and his property line had swallowed the gas meter...it was a bomb ready to go off...told suit about it and showed him...he never took care of it....so last fall i called the gas company...they come out and have a stroke...they had several engineers in the alley pronto...so they came that afternoon with equipment to dig out the sides of the ally and remove and replace the meter...the roots were all in the gas lines..and it was a huge mulberry tree that I hated. so they shut his gas off and jack hammered up the side of the alley and had to jack hammer the roots.his wife was outside having a hissy fit bout not killing the poor tree.they shut down for the day and I happened to have 2 quarts of Kilz All root killer so....you know what I did?...poured that bad azz crap onto the cut up roots...and then saved some for injections right into the trunk...Ha...they finished,but poured asphalt into the side of the alley...so which brings us up to this morning...now the tree is all but dead and they came to repave the whole section of ally and the sides also where the asphalt has been. did the Karma thing get me? Nah...So the other neighbor on the other side decides he's gonna build a chicken coop and use my fence as one side of the coop and my fence to nail down the roof..and the coop is right next to our bedroom....woke me up nailing the roof to my fence...went next door and asked what was going on? He said none of my fukkin business...but it might be a chicken or pigeon coop...i told him nope aint gonna happen...he sez call any inspector I wanted but he's friends with all of em...so I did...and nope he's got no fukkin chicken coop Ha...so now he lets his dogs out all night and they bark for hours...this just started last weekend....it will prolly end this weekend some kinda way :) Wash
  17. No kidding...after the assault on central police headquarters here this last weekend...the officers have a right to be on edge...I thought Big D would be the last place for crap to happen....that nut job was no match for the swat's 50 cal...why does everything go down at the Jack in the Box? <dontknow> Char put me and the HK in " time out" when she got home :) Wash

  19. It was Char's brownies that saved my azz... the officer that was standing back smiled. didnt have the scary bag on my face,but I bet I was pretty ruff lookin to them in my camo boxer shorts and no top. I just went outback and the cable co was running lines from my hub....those fools knocked out the cable line to about six homes,and my dilbert nextdoor neighbor in his suit was just standing there this morning trying to figure out how to get their attention over all that noise...guess he saw the HK cause he jumped back in his garage. yeah Im grumpy in the am ,or maybe paranoid when I roll out thinkin the bad guys are trying to get in my home. :) Wash
