Morning boys & squirrels. Watched another lovely sunrise over Pleasant Hill/Lee Summit this morning. Sort of makes up for the whole going to work at 0030 let down; well that and the $$$I figured he meant WORK right as well...but I thought I'd give him a little crap over it. I figure my time in the barrel is coming anyway. Fire away Ches, I'm ready for it.

 

Good evening MO gang

 

I got my tool box install finished up. I still have to cut the rocker molding and bolt it back up, but other than that, it's all set.

 

Looks great, Alan. You're making me jealous!

 

I hate none reliable hotel intranet......right at the end of a good FTE comment reply and bam, its want me to sign back in.

Thanks Chip, maybe someday I will get to wheel it at SMORR, someday......

Oh there RC I will admit the fire extinguisher is pink, lol, but its faded red under that mud for sure!

Terry..... ZIP IT!

Alan, awesome work there.

 

Thanks Rich. I've been a bit of a post wh0r3 with the recent work. I'm just happy with how it's turning out.

 

Good day ya'll!

Got the non locked up motor in yesterday and today got it bolted in, headers on, clutch hooked up and took the carb apart and cleaned it up some.

Tomorrow im going to :
Put distributor in
Connect all electrical stuff in yhe engine bay.
Carb on
Hood back on,
And I might try to start it. It supposedly has a bad valve, but I have another set of heads. Seeing Alan busy as all get out gets me stoked to work on mine!

 

Hello Missouri!

Y'all are making feel guilty for all the projects around here that I need to do, but can't until the shoulder is better. I figured out where all the masters of the medieval torture chambers went - they became physical therapists. The heating pad has been a close friend here lately.

In other news - I may be getting a temporary promotion at work. The boss hinted at it this afternoon, but has not heard if its been approved yet. More paperwork & no pay raise but I won't be working late on Wednesdays for a while. Will have to wait and see...

 

Good news about work, Dave!

Borderbum, if you have a bad valve, be prepared for a very loud POP when you get it fired up. Out the carb and it's an intake valve. Out the exhaust and it's an exhaust valve. (just FYI in case you didn't already know that)

I have to go get electrocuted tomorrow. I have another "nerve test". Talk about torture. We're trying to find out why my legs don't work all the time. I feel pretty good though, so I don't know if they'll even find anything.

 

Hurray for everyone getting what all the want and or need, and sorry to hear if you are getting something like "electrocuted".

Yea I had the bad valve "pop" out the carb, thanks again Alan an Unk Bob for the hand swapping out ol red's eng.

5001, posts for me, I know Terry is aint alot compared to you, ya post monger.

 

mean Green I like it!!! Defenatly a Stand out color

 

I haven't gotten what I need. I need those special 7 numbers for the PowerBall. That's my other retirement plan...this work thing is just so I have something just in case I run out of time waiting on the numbers.Congratulations...guess I'm a nobody down here below 2500 posts

 

1 or 100,000,000 its all good, the higher # shows how much you do not have going on in your life, or not.....Terry was a FTE'er while at work.

I travel alot and go overseas and have some spare time while in the room. Most of my stuff is in this mo monthly chat room keeping tabs on the crew.

We help out when and where we can, although Terry have never helped me with my house payment. lol

 

I don't care about the post count...like you I say it says how much time you spend on FTE. As far as "FTE-ing" at work...must be nice. There are Federal laws that keep me from surfing the internet while I'm at work.I didn't start posting allot on FTE until I started working out on the road almost 4 years ago. These monthly BS threads help me keep what's left of my sanity since I don't get to spend much time with family & friends back home. A couple of guys in the Ark chapter would be quick to point out it's been gone for years.Nor mine either...I hear he's made of money these days But on a serous note, I don't want a handout, just want to work more than I do...if I'm going to be spending this much time away from home...let's make some serous $$$ to show for the time.

 

Ches you need to put down a coat of sealer first to get that green to even begin to look right. Find you a nice neutral gray then paint on top.
Alan the truck is looking nice, you now have the same bed that I have.
Rich, Brother I got you package today. Thanks man that is pretty cool. You can't go wrong with a bag full of "Uncle Bob" stuff!!! A cozy for can's, ink pens, note pads, key chain, BUT I think the best is the "Uncle Bob's" storage, "Chap Stick".....
Thanks man, that cool!

Unk Bob
