We woke to a frosty morning, but the rising sun soon put an end to that. It's currently 44°, and tomorrow looks like a re-run.
The wife and I did our usual Saturday shopping run; no particular excitement there, although we did notice an unusual number of pickups with covered loads in their beds. I have no idea what that's about.
After a lunch of pasta and home-made sauce, smothered in parmesan (yum!), I taught Older Daughter how to change her to set the gap for new spark plugs, and to install them. I provided a couple of tools she needed, and some pointers along the way (that's what dads are for, of course!), but she did the work.
And now I can smell the chicken vegetable soup simmering on the stove, and both daughters are visiting, so I should get back to the group.
Thanks for stopping by, friends.

What? I stop by and you don't offer any?
Timing is everything, sir. :) But you're always welcome.
Homemade soup is always good! All those pickups were people moving up from the lower 48.
Chickenmom - you're right about the soup, but not about the trucks: they all had Alaska plates. New arrivals, which are supposed to get local plates within 10 days, usually take six months. :)
Sounds like life in the fast lane!
I'm jealous...

Yes, Guffaw, we're speeding right along. :) And I understand, my friend.
If you don't have the proper gauge for sparkplugs, the thickness of a thumbnail is usually close enough.
FrankC - I've had plugs at one time which used a .032" gap, all the way up to .054". At least now she knows how it's done.
Rev. Paul,
Being with family, and having good food.....life is good!!!
Agreed, Sandy. Thanks.
