Good morning boys and girls. (...and Bob...)

It's a beautiful Saturday morning up here in KC...I'm going to waste most of it at work...

 

Whazzupp Y'all! Moving around getting coffee down my neck. Going to be a sweet day out, clear and sunny high about 80! Good day for a car show. I hope they still have the "Work in progress' class. Maybe I'll have a shot at something this year

Unk Bob

 

Good Morning Everybody!

What time are you heading out, Bob? We're all going. We just have to decide if Tiff and the girls are going in a separate car in case they want to skate out early.

It was a nightmare, but I got the title swapped into my name. (fingers still crossed the state doesn't kick it back)

 

I'm thinking around 10, or so. Sounds like Tim is going to come out again. Shari is still passed out, she had a long day yesterday. I'm not sure if she's going to make it or not. She usually dosen't, but maybe since Tiff is going it's possible.

Tiff said as soon as she gets her make up on we'll head out, but we can drag our feet a little. (with four girls, it's actually quite easy to do) Want us to meet you at the house?

 

That works for me. I'll have to stop by the bank on the way out. But we're going by it anyway.
See you in a bit. My other half is still passed out.

Well, looks like some of us are up and at it this morning. Most having fun and whatnot, I get to go rip my engine bay apart so I can replace these darn injector sleeves. First things first, though, I need to find out why we didn't start when I had to go to work last night!!!!! I'll be in and out, doing more research on this darn thing. Everybody have a great day!!!

 

well i got a little done today.... poured in the oil.. turned over a few times as soon as the injectors got wet it fired up...didnt even get a chance to bleed the luberfiner before it started and oil came out like a geyser..... but it runs like new and as far as i can tell no oil leaks..can't say the same for the radiator i had repaired last year.. but thats another day... i'll post a link..look for the video in the album....

Way to go RC! There's nothing in the world better than having something fire right up after a major overhaul like that.

After sleeping the better part of the morning, I took the wife and daughter up to Bear Market in Camdenton for some shopping and then we hit the grand opening of the Menards in Lake of the Ozarks. You can spend the entire day there and not see everything. They seem to have a little bit of everything...

Now I need to put the last coat of paint on the bathroom so I can get that finished....

 

Well, I managed to tick off Bob today by getting another trophy!



It had nothing to do with the '53 though. They had a gear head challenge. I knew more useless car trivia than other people.

I'll let Bob tell HIS good news!

 

Bob had better post soon - the suspense is killing me!

I got another (better be the last) coat of paint on the walls & ceiling in the bathroom. My lungs and shoulder are NOT happy with me at the moment. I told the wife that if she wanted another coat on them - she's doing it.

If all goes well, I'll cut the corners in tomorrow and maybe get the shower installed. I've got some projects going on that I need to finish up so I can have some time to work on a truck.

 

Looks like I'm tearing down the j20 tomorrow to get at the front springs and then prepping my GM HD44 front and 14 bolt rear. Preps will be removing the original springs(still bolted to axles) and then torching the drums off the 14 bolt.

 

Apparently, Bob is shy this weekend...

Did he win the "blinker fluid hater" of the year award??

 

Or still in shock...

 

Yes there was some "Shock" envolved. We brought home a 3rd place trophy in All 4x4 class. Granted there wasn't but 6 or so 4x4's there. But it sure was kool to get a trophy.
Yes Alan allway's does manage to pull a rabbit out of his butt and leave with something. The dick.... I meant Gearhead questions was un-expected.
After I got home and popped a few pills in me yesterday from all the walking, I was in and out of it the rest of the day. I needed the extra help to get the Caprice Classics, and Impala's on 24" wheels, with the music that they were playing out of my head. Boom Boom Boom KSH! Over and over again, so I chased the pain pill's down with a cold 6 pack. Oooooo I hate that music....Ksh.
