New Toys!

["Graydon D. Stuckey" <graydon@apollo.gmi.edu>]

Quattists,

	I hope Santa was good to all of you.  He was at my house.  I also 
have a birthday just before Christmas, so I get a double whammy every 
year.  I got a set of new shocks for my 5KCSTQ for the birthday, and a 
new Uniden LRD 6199 SW Radar detector for Christmas.
	Tonight I finally hooked up the heat in my garage.  I have a pool 
heater plumbed into a big Cadillac radiator, with the pool pump 
circulating the water.  I have one of the two fans on the rad working 
from a 12V source.  The other is shot.  I have a replacement though.  
When I was done, the shop (2 car garage, 22' x 20', uninsulated, yet) was 
at 29 degrees F.  Two hours later, it was at a comfy 50 degrees.  The 
heater isn't working quite right yet though.  I'll call my friend in the 
home HVAC business tomorow.  I think the pressure switch isn't working 
right, so it turns off the burner.
	The pool hardware came with the house (so did the pool, but it was
far beyond repair) so it didn't cost me anything except the hardware to
assemble it all.  I got an air hammer for Christmas, so I used that to
poke through the concrete block wall in the basement. 
	I also have a number of other toys to install over the holidays.  
New front strut brace, SS brake lines, CV joint boots, APEX lowering 
springs, fr strut bearings, and a few other little things.
