November 2018 Issue #304 President s Chatter This month went by so fast it seems like I just locked the Library door yesterday. Getting the cars stored away and I almost forgot to drain the water out of my 1928 sedan. My project this winter will be focused on my 1913 Model T s engine. I should be done by January. Also I need to rewire the head lights on the 1928, along with a few other things. Paul Dubreuil stopped by the other day and he would like to have any dates set in writing for tours or have something planned for each month in 2019. This is something that needs to be done. We could also look into some Saturday workshops hosted by a member who might need help or who just wants moral support while doing a job on his own, if nothing else, a good tire kicking session. C'ya all at the next meeting November 27th. Don t forget your dues for 2019 are due. President, Directions to our Meeting Meeting Location!
