Well even though it's pouring at 7:00 a.m. the forecast is for "showers" and 30% chance of precip starting at 11:00 a.m.  So maybe just maybe we will get a break.  You will just have to eat your donuts faster to avoid sogginess.  See you there!

I always do it right the second time.

Thank you for posting the photos Nathan.

I am sorry I missed it.  

The 'bouquet' was a little short on green.

 

Glad to see that there was such a good turn out, even on a day of record breaking rainfall!

 

(Coincidentally beating the record set in 2002)

 

Record Report
Statement as of 12:26 am PST on February 08, 2015

... Record daily maximum rainfall set at Seattle WA WFO...

A record rainfall of 0.78 inches was set at Seattle WA WFO
yesterday. This breaks the old record of 0.45 set in 2002.

I now disagree with some of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book. 

I've switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results. 

I apologize for spreading misinformation.

That spark plug-hose plug is brilliant.

 

It would work for three different sizes of hose!

 

Four, if you used the tip!!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
