I managed to de-nail the floor and studs. The ceiling will have to wait until I have the ambition to drop some plywood on the floor. I am now waiting for my brother the plumber to stop by (probably not until tomorrow) to give me some direction on how we "fix" the plumbing so the floor can get built properly.

Well, I went out today to try to get my truck to act up.. at certain times it has a valve tick. After driving around town with nothing, I pull in my driveway for it to start. Make 2 videos, an exhaust video and I mount my plow (all of a minute to do... I had to fish out the connections). When I pulled in it also started mixing with snow.

Now it's sticking haha.

greg- that looks like the opposite of fun.

matt - i bet you are just hearing the injectors firing. a lot of people are complaining about it on all the new ford engines, my dad had the same concern with his new 4.6

So... writing a 3 page book review on a book I've never so much as even held is proving to be slightly more challenging than I'd first thought it would be.

Good thing it's not due til tomorrow!

It could be. the problem is intermittent (but more constant now when warm), but it sounds like a valve tick. It's only on the left side of the motor. You hear the clicking noise all of the time from what I'm guessing is the injectors, and on occasion a very loud clack-clack-clack. I have a video of it from the fenderwell area but it isn't the best.

I've never so much as seen a copy of the book other than on a computer screen. Got a page and a half out of it. Good enough for me.

I read whole books, but theyre useful books. Like how to tell when people are lying. It's fun. Especially with teachers.

I had a huge argument in I believe it was freshman year about how English teachers were just self-perpetuating and how if we eliminated all English courses we would never need them again and how the rules of grammar are arbitrary. It didn't end well since I made her look dumb, but she still got the last laugh since she's the one who controls my grade in that class.

She's hated me ever since.

Good Morning!

Pete are you going to be around this afternoon? I'd like to try to pick up the battery so I can get the '83 ready to leave Sat or Sun.

If I get it going in time Ray, will you be in town?
