Nate,
One New Year's at a time.
Chinese New Year is on Feb 8th.
I need a few things, maybe I can head out to the local PAP for 40% off.
I think that there's a few 123s in OC. We'll see, as I have a bunch of things to do.
My earlier joy at regaining heat with the monovalve, has sunk a bit, as while it's hot around town, on the freeway the heat disappears. Still better than the little or no heat in either situation.

Welcome to The Year Of The Monkey !
Since I didn't get drunk nor shot last night , Tom and I headed off to LKQ Pick-A-Parts annual " FOUR DAY 40 % OFF SALE Dec. 31 , Jan. 1 , 2 & 3 " .
Me , I'm a High School dropout so I thought that made four days but what the hell do I know ?.
Anyways , I was most pleased to find a recently impounded drug dealer's W126 500SEC with a freshly rebuilt Becker radio in it , more so because they sold it to me for a whopping $9.00 ~ SWEET ! .
They know me there so the Counter guy didn't even ask if I wanted the warranty (of COURSE not !) .
Tom was able to score two fully electronic radios for his 1979 Dodge D200 Pick Up Truck , also for $9.00 each , they even threw in a Dodge to DIN # 1 adapter because who the hell wants/needs radios for 37 year old Dodge trucks ?!.
Just in case he ever gets a wild hair , he can now correctly and easily install any modern radio and it'll look proper , no cutting etc.
He was also able to grab an inside hood locl , some undamaged plastic dashboard bits and bobs so all in all it was a very good day out .
That's it for now , not a single W123 to be seen in the yard and all the W126's were gassers =8-( .
-Nate
