OK everybody, go get a 2x2 foot piece of tin foil and I’ll tell you what we’re dealing with.

Since the river wall improvements only 1 flood.
It seems like we get the extremes here.

Sheeesh, how's this for crazy weather.

Yesterday in Southern California, it was about 100 degrees. Broke a record for high temperature, dating over 125 years of records.

Today, it's only 80 degrees, a 20 degree drop.

This amount of fluctuation is almost unbearable....

I was in LA yesterday for a conference and sweated in the 100+ degree heat, then flew back to Utah this morning. Now it's snowing pretty hard outside my office window. It's only a few hundred miles away; the west can be strange.

We were in the 70's earlier this week. Then yesterday had a massive wind storm. Really a freak storm for this area, this time of the year. Trees down all over the place, with power out all night.
More like November!

It was absolutely beautiful in the swamp today! Mid 40's this AM warming to the lower seventies with low humidity. My golf partner didn't show up so I took the engine and transmission out of my Falcon. I guess I have begun another restoration project!!

What about the 300E "restoration project"?

Did you ever sort out the wiring harness problem?

I'm wondering if you might consider Stevebfl's offer to diagnose your 300E for free?
