    for me it was Southbury high school='65- -69. I 84 within sight. cold winter day sitting in mechanical drawing class(where I designed a 3d drawing of a truck) had window slightly open and kid next to me bitched to teacher he was cold. as I was being lectured by teacher a truck roared up I 84++ I turned to look at truck instead of teacher! next thing an eraser was slamming my head : i was told " you like those trucks so much go stand outside and take an F for the day. it was cold and I didn't have a jacket. was worth every minute .LOL

    Yukon fire at 100 proof much better than Yukon 125 ;; personal idea only .LOL since the conversation on Moxie took place , have been looking for it only to find empty spots where it should be, never paid attention to it before.

    Need not say another word. working with welder all day again at farm ; the monsoon came in quick and drenching. couldn't get out a head of it. the ole jeep plowed rain like never before. positive was Yukon Jack was waiting to welcome me back. wasn't beer O'clock but Yukon O'clock . never did a remove/ replace motor cycle tire. the smaller the tire bigger P I A they seem. small garden tire worse compared to truck / farm tractor tire.

    not knowing why it sat for year and a half OR WHY it has been started NOW :: my personal recommendation is to slightly tap it while running to see if it corrects itself. this unit going into service ??? THEN put $$$ into it. put new governor and misc. $$ into so it can sit another year is like a government operation .
