If only.

Off to pick up some tights for the bicycle. I'm assuming the weather will go back to normal.

The torque angle gauge was a lot easier to use when the motor was out of the truck last time. LOL

Take a look at this:

Does it look like the passenger side head oil gallery comes from one of the main bearings where the driver side head comes from the main oil gallery?

Hey fellas.

A lot of putzing around the yard today. Took out Des' uncles T-Bird and warmed it up. Took a bit to start but onced I got the pedal pumping she took off and ran great. Moved the car to the back of the shed and put the trailer with the sleds in front (just incase we get some snow). Got the mower fired up and rinsed off too.

Anyone know anything about fish tanks? I've been procrastinating, and need to get one set up.

Good afternoon guys!

Looks like you guys were chatty since yesterday. I will have to go back and catch up.

Well no pics of the boat. I got the left side wheel bearings all repacked and back on and moved to the right side and found that side had gotten hot at one time and the bearing was shot. Luckily the spindle looks good but gonna have to get a new bearing tomorrow. Did get a good cleaning on the interior all done though and rewired the lights as well.
