I've got to pull the carb back off Homer and clean it again one evening this week.  Something has the idle circuit clogged (it's not the idle cut off - it's working like it should).  I found out at Ringgold, parades are a nighmare when your bus won't idle.   :o   I bought an inverter today . . . just need to pick another couple of strings of rope lights, get the idle problem straighened out and I'm ready . . .    ;D

We received the information about line up.  We are #50 and are to be in line at 4:00 p.m.  We will plan to gather up at Coker Tire/Honest Charlie and cruise down together leaving their parking lot at 3:45.  The parade lineup will be on Market St. between ML King and 12th St.  Just a reminder that the rules state that we are not to throw candy or any other objects.  If anyone has questions, please call Lamar at 509-3510.  See you all Saturday!  :)

Zen don't forget to check your oil; I might have inhaled a quart or so...

Set your DVRs for December 17th at 1:00 PM, Channel 3 will play the Starlight Parade in its entirety. I'm getting my dad to record it for me since I don't have Channel 3 on Dish anymore, so we should be able to get a copy for the web.
