Steve’s got his ‘weather block’ prepared for winter!
“With the days getting shorter, and the weather patterns starting to change, it’s time to set up my Weather Block. As you can tell, this photo was taken on a cloudy day. Here are the instructions I place in my kitchen so when I look out the window I will know how to interpret my weather block. What else do you do with an old Willys engine?
Dry Block – Fair weather
Shadow under Block – Sunny
No Shadow under Block – Cloudy
Wet Block – Rainy
Invisible block – Foggy
Swaying Block – Windy
Horizontal Block – Wind Storm
White block – Snowy
Bouncing Block – Earthquake
Water Flowing Around Block – Flood
Flashing Block – Thunder Storm
Missing Block – Tornado
My Weather Block even tells you the season:
Hot Block – Summer
Leaf Covered Block – Autumn
Cold Block – Winter
Grass Growing on Block – Spring
I like this, covers all the bases and most likely more accurate than the weather report.
Block 18 feet under water – Climate change
Don’t do that to a Cerlist. Plenty of 226 blocks out there. I’ll gladly trade a 226 for it.
Dan, he’s kidding! He just got the Cerlist and was waiting to see if anyone noticed what it was.
Very funny 🙂
I only claim to amuse myself… (lol)
Yes, Blaine is right. I was curious to see who got as excited as I was when this engine found me, and after they recognized the FC M-Series truck engine. I took the photo after unloading it, and I was able to do it before it rained last week. (Hey, why does the crazy news channels keeps telling me we’re in a drought? It smells like rain tonight, and the forecast is for rain in the a.m.) The best part is that I also got a Cerlist engine manual, and a M-6XX Factory Service Manual with it.
Unfortunately, the M-677 that this came from was totaled about 10 years ago, and the T-90 and axles were sold a long time ago. The story was that the Ford PU that hit it was towed away, and the M-677 drove home under it’s own power. (Both vehicles were totaled with bent frames.)
Dan, I’ll be sure it does not get scrapped, and that it goes to help keep an original M-6XX running, such as your restored truck. I’ll E-mail you.
