Don't smoke cigarettes or dip, but I will definitely be buying some Cubans and cruising in the old Travelette.
Can we get Cubans now? I haven't smoked a cigar in 10 years.
I may be able to make it but can't drive right now....anyone live close to Myers Park/Elizabeth?

Dang. What happened? Ashleigh and I can pick you up on our way from Plaza if you want a ride there. We might not stay the full time though for a ride back later.

Sorry to ditch y'all, but I'm gonna go freeze my ass off on top of a mountain with Sarah and some Upstate folks. I'll see you at QCQ if Friday night is too brutal to repeat. I hate that I'm gonna miss some new folks and Scott's new/old truck.
@Izzyandsue Haha, have you seen the Key and Peele sketch about telling your wife things? Probably going to be able to make it, its not far from where we live in south park.
Oh yeah, another good one is the one where the Barack is talking to Michelle....
Who all is coming? And who can meet me before to help me get my International started. It's parked in my work office just down the road. Battery is fine now, doesn't seem to have a spark. Why did I buy another old truck again...
Oh right, because I have more money than brains. I don't have a lot of money...
Because you are so mechanically inclined

I am inclined to learn. Just don't have any time.
I am going to be there tomorrow.
When my 40 won't start, I just need to hit the starter with a wrench. Rafael told me this trick ages ago and for some unknown reason, it has never failed me.
Points ignition?
New cap/rotor/plugs/wires/coil/voltage regulator/etc... might help.
First - take off the distributor cap (being sure not to turn it and put it back exactly as it was)... Under that is a rotor that spins and distributes power to the wires. It should have a nice clean copper connection. Likely it's corroded. You can grab some sandpaper and get off the corrosion - to see if that helps.
Replacing all the above parts of the ignition system shouldn't cost you more than $100 or so and it's all very easy plug and play stuff.

Luke and I will swing by early.
Thanks!
We're meeting at 2pm at my work garage down the street if anyone else is free and want to laugh at my truck purchase has failed me twice now.
I will be in attendance today. @tgadd what is the address of the shop? I might be able to swing by beforehand.
I had wrist surgery-torn cartilage and ligament-not sure how. Actually feeling rough today so thx for the offer, but need to rest.
Rafael is on to something! Started up after a few bangs from a wrench
