Site is back up I see....
Not much into birds lately. I still have 6 Peacocks - 2 Black Shoulder males & 4 hens. May one day get more Pheasants.
Still into cars - 72 Pintos.
White one still not done (long story).
Started another one, lots of work to do yet.

Bud Moore Mini Plenum intake. Custom water neck , designed & built by me. Everything on the car is custom !

16* and clear skies here this morning.
It hit the upper 50's in the sun. In the shaded areas the ground still had frost.
Today and all the way thru Sunday mild temps with the increase chances of rain, then Monday the bottom falls out with the high low 30's.
I got my first pheasant egg yesterday afternoon. 3 months early with this weather.
Have a nice day John th3
