Whats going to be fun is the 10+ hour drive back to Sacramento with NO A/C. By the time i hit Shasta/Redding area it will be in the 90's.
But can't wait.. This weekend needs to hurry up.. Feel like a little kid.

Nothing better to do on a Sunday afternoon with 85 degree temperature and 85 percent humidity than cleaning the fuse box connections. Before I did this, my Voltmeter which ran off a wire from under the dash, ran about 1 volt less than the output directly at the battery. Now we appear to be the same.
Oh  , someone asked for a photo of the car

74 Spider, 88 Graduate, 93 Veloce, 94 Commemorative Ed
Out at the hangar with my T28 Trojan.
Alfas make great airplane tugs BTW, with those eyelets welded to the front of the frame.
Need a sharp 66 or 67 Duetto and maybe a nice Giulia.

Here is my 164 around 9,500 Ft on the top of San Fransisco Peaks in Flagstaff AZ. Sorry not the greatest shots when I am not paying attention to the camera. Had it on the wrong setting. New digital. Use to the old stuff.
Took the kids on the lift to the top.
Completely rebuilt motor, suspension, paint and more... Drove like a dream from Phoenix to Flagstaff and up to 9,700 Ft without an issue.
