I’ve not felt well all Monday. We’ll try for updates on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, I hear that the Old Willys Forum is down. Here’s more information on that from Pete from the Facebook page:

“A huge Thanks to everyone for being patient while we rework the forum! We’ve been down for nearly a week now, way longer than I expected… In the last nine years, the forum has never been down for more than 24 hours.

The conversion of the forum database to the new forum software is well underway,…. Getting the image attachments and gallery reconnected is the hardest part, and takes the longest. Once we get the basic forum up and running, we will be adding all the details back into the forum (graphics, icons, avatars, new features,etc) over the coming weeks.”

Packrat shared this neat photo of a wagon at an In & Out Burger. I didn’t know In & Out featured Kentucky Fried Chicken (maybe for a short time .. I can’t find any history about that).
