Chris, the Eagle is in the nest and all eggs are fine

Eagle eggs!?!?    I thought I sent you beer! 

No, the Eagle eggs were supposed to go to the research aviary at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse! 

The LAST thing a bunch of UWLX post grad students need is more BEER! 

Should I send out call tags?

Enjoy!

Chris,
I was digging through some old HR mags and ran across this article on the old Els Lohn Wee Eel 2 streamliner. 1000 cc Morris Minor motor, same as yours ? He had a Hilborn injector and a McCulloch blower and a claimed 127 . Car went  around 158 mph back in 61. Looks like you are not the first to try to wring some serious HPs out of a 1000 cc 5 port Brit lump. I wonder how much boost the blower made.

I see the blower, but where is the engine?  Tony

Hey, Rex -

The factory was on the salt two years earlier than that with this 948 supercharged endurance car -

Contemplated changing plugs in the Magnum this evening.  Pulled the cover and put it in the only open space left in the garage –



Got me thinking about running modified sport . . .

Hey, we can't let Udo have ALL of the fun! 

A Safe, Fast and Happy New Year to all.

Midget, did you survive the New Years celebrations?

Midget, did you survive the New Years celebrations?

FREUD

I have - I don't know about my reputation, though.

My "friends" haven't posted any youtube links - that's promising. 

The reunion's coming up, I see - I think it's the same day that the pitchers and catchers report. 

That's two signs of Spring. 

Happy New Year, my friend!

One thing is for certain, these days making offensive gestures, expressions or movements won't ensure that people will throw away pictures of you, quite the contrary.... there's one of my dearest with hair over her face like Cousin It and yours truly with a finger jammed in nose and a vacant stare doing the rounds on oldfartbook.........

no, you won't be able to find it.

What are you talking about, the one of you and Deb in Frankston,  I found it straight away

Okay, I'm going off of the reservation a bit here.  Nothing to do with the Midget, LSR, or me.  Jon, if you deem this inappropriate, pull it - I completely understand, but it is a cause I've put a bit of effort into, and I think it's important.

This Friday, January 13, Shattered, a Rolling Stones tribute act that I play in, is once again stepping up to the plate to help out our disabled veterans, and if you're in the Milwaukee area, I'd like to have you step out of the house and join us.

Shattered is doing a fundraising show for Guitars for Vets (G4V) at Shank Hall with our good friends, Substitute - Tales of the Who.

Shank Hall
1434 N Farwell Ave
Milwaukee, WI 53202

Yup - Shank Hall, Milwaukee, like in the movie Spinal Tap - that place.

Show at 8:00 PM SHARP

Here's the deal, the math, and the goal.
 
All proceeds are going to G4V from this event. Shank Hall seats in excess of 225 people. Tickets are $10.00 each.
 
It costs $200 to deliver the Guitars for Vets program to one veteran, and that includes lessons and a good quality instrument which the veteran keeps after completing the program.

We're looking to help 10 disabled veterans this weekend, which means we need to see 200 of you this Friday.

Can you help us make Friday the 13th a lucky day for 10 disabled vets?

Representatives from Guitars for Vets will be there to answer any questions you may have regarding the work that they're doing. If you can't make it this Friday, I encourage you to click on the Guitars for Vets website link above, and read through ways that you can help.

Our pledge to you is a fun Friday night, the music of the Stones and the Who, in an excellent sounding room and the company of wonderful people working very hard to help others.

If you can't attend, but would like to help, go to the G4V website above. 

We want to put the healing power of music into the hands of heroes.

Thanks for helping us help.

Put me down for two tickets, I'll PayPal ya.






edit:done.

[38flattie]

Chris, that's just plain awesome!

I'll take 2 tickets. Please send me your Paypal info!

[Milwaukee Midget]

Doc - again, my friend - I'll get it to them moui pronto.

Buddy - Thanks for that.

Rather than send it to me, here's a paypal link where you can make the donation directly.

http://www.guitars4vets.org/donate.cfm

If you could let them know that this is in conjunction with the Shank Hall event, that will help with their donation tracking.

G4V is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with more than 30 chapters throughout the country - including Colorado Springs, LA, San Diego, Charlotte, Portland - So  by helping us here in Milwaukee, we can help a vet just down the street from you.

Thank you, guys.

A huge "Thank You" to all of you who helped make the Guitars for Vets fundraiser a wonderful success.

While the weather did impact turn-out - Milwaukee's first real snow of the year - we were still able to raise nearly $1100.00 at the door and merch booth. In addition, your additional contributions pushed the total for the event to just shy of $1300.00.

That money will go to help 6 disabled vets receive both lessons and guitars, and get G4V half way to helping a 7th.

So again, thanks to those who contributed, and if anyone would like to further the cause, I encourage them to go to the Guitars for Vets website and make a donation to the exceptionally selfless work that they do.
